Code
#Sys.msg.VPLTJu#	View: Panel Layout: Jukebox
the new3.4.txt file has been updated

'Storage' here is untranslatable.
(but perhaps it is an OS sourced value? I don't know)

Thanks hiccup and Steven for helping!

Now all of the mentioned missing tags are fine.

Just one small difference:
- "#Sys.ctl.A4DF980D# tag hierarchy panel" and "#Sys.ctl.3A8B89D5# background" do each have a colon behind the original English text in the program itself, but not in the translation file template. They should be "tag hierarchy panel:" and "background:" like in the program.

It was mentioned in reply #1011:

-----------
I have now updated the patch version and updated new3.4.txt if anyone wants to see all the changes now
Ok, but after seeing a download for the new hierarchy explorer in the normal upgrade thread, I thought, that this is the right version. And there was no other link called patch at all... Therefore I really appreciate Stevens intention to continue the normal way.

Thanks so much, Steven, for all the last updates :)

One thing though: it seems #Main.menu.CaDo# (Cancel Downloads) is still not translated.

Cheers

Klint is right.

use
#Sys.ctl.770C051C# always center text

And do I see correctly that you just added:
#PLE.ctl.459AE3BE#   drill down in a separate panel

It's probably good to re-advertise the new translator file then?
(for those who already downloaded the file earlier today)

Going through the new translator file entries I come across a few I am not sure how to translate:

1.
#Sys.msg.PlTempSet#    Player: Tempo Preset: Set
#Sys.msg.PlTempUse#    Player: Tempo Preset: Use

I don't understand what these do exactly.
Trying out the functionality:

At first both shortcuts seem to do nothing.
After I have edited the dsp tempo plugin, and have set both play speed and pitch:

Tempo Preset: Use
After the first key press it activates the pitch that was set. (but not the play speed)
After pressing it again it will additionally activate the play speed.
Subsequent presses don't do anything anymore.

Tempo Preset: Set
I don't notice it doing anything at all.

How are these two shortcuts supposed to work exactly?

2.
#Main.msg.UnlBdll#    Unable to load {0}
What does the {0} represent?

3.
This could be a translation thingy I don't understand too well.
Shouldn't:
#TB.msg.EntPromp#    Enter the prompt text
say something like:
Enter the label name

4.
A tip for other translators. These two:

#PLE.ctl.CD369A33#     show the tracks for the selected album or artist:
#PLE.ctl.9AD16EEF#     directly under the selected album or artist

are most likely already present in your translation file. They only got rephrased.
So better edit those instead of adding duplicates.

99.
I noticed that in MB's 'about MusicBee' credits panel my pre-2014 alias is mentioned for translation credits.
It would probably be good to update that.

1.
#Sys.msg.PlTempSet#    Player: Tempo Preset: Set
#Sys.msg.PlTempUse#    Player: Tempo Preset: Use
I appreciate its not obvious
#Sys.msg.PlTempSet#    Player: Tempo Preset: Set
when pressing this hotkey, MB assigns the preset to the current tempo
#Sys.msg.PlTempUse#    Player: Tempo Preset: Use
when pressing this hotkey, MB sets the tempo to the preset value

2.
#Main.msg.UnlBdll#    Unable to load {0}
What does the {0} represent?
MusicBeeBass.dll amongst other possible .dll files

3.

#TB.msg.EntPromp#    Enter the prompt text

i think your suggestion is better

thats correct but the last translation is used

'search' doesn't get translated in the hotkeys panel
