Translator Q&A

[Steven]

i have problems with latest dutch version. The buttons are too small for text (prefrences tab)
Also the "requird to restart" is too long and dissappears beneath the mb logo.

maybe you can make the  prefrences window bigger, cause it is quite small.

you need to let me know which buttons
you can make all the dialogs generally wider using the first field in the language file:
#Main.msg.abefopv#   aaaaaaaa bcccdddd eeeeeeeeeeee ffgghhhhhhiiiiiiijkllll:mmnnnnnnn oooooooo ppqrrrrrrsssssstttttttttuuu vwwxyyzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

where the x's on the end widen the dialogs and controls
the latest .exe above should fix the "requires a restart" issue

some buttons on the set font, which is (stel lettertype in)  in dutch.
also the minimise to: is (minimaliseren naar:) which is too long text. Otherwise the new exe is better.

the last exe has a problem in it, I get this message when I try to open the preferences window

Where "une entrée avec la même clé existe déjà" = an entry with the same key aleardy exists

this issue was raised by Wolo.
there was a couple of duplicate descriptions in the hotkey descriptions
i believe Wolo has posted a corrected language file

[Wolo]

things i could still see:
- can the Now Playing preferences be looked at where one checkbox in the popup notifications section needs to be abbreviated
- in the File Converters tab, the first 2 fields, could they be abbrieviated if possible
- in the Devices tab, the 2nd tab, could that be shortened? eg. remove 'options de' ?
- in the CD Ripper, is there anything that can be shortened with the 'one file per album...' - maybe remove the word embedded?

i tested using this as the first setting in the language file:
#Main.msg.abefopv#   aaaaaaaa bcccdddd eeeeeeeeeeee ffgghhhhhhiiiiiiijkllll:mmnnnnnnn oooooooo ppqrrrrrrsssssstttttttttuuu vwwxyyzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1) It can be reduced to 37 characters instead of 61. The last 5 still don't appear
2) Both fields can be reduced. But then the boxes next to them should be moved closer. The new translations would respectively be "encodages simultanés maximum:" and "priorité"
3)Yes. The 7 last characters can be removed
4)Do you mean in Alt+R ? If yes all fields are displayed correctly.


Here is the up-to-date file if you need to test by yourself.

both are fixed for the next update

[bigelow13]

Sorry for that, Wolo and I realized that I worked on an old version of the file. I won't do that twice =P

they are done for the next update

[bigelow13]

The "play" button that shows up on the covers when using the covers view didn't get translated

[Steven]

Its done as a bitmap and as its implemented now not something i can change easily. So I'll need to put this as to be fixed after the final release

[Wolo]

When you click the i in the control panel, "track information" doesn't get translated.

Also regarding this field #Main.msg.TrIn# the French translation is "Propriétés de la Piste" and the last "e" doesn't display correctly. Can you increase that  case a little bit ?

I forgot we could adjust the size of that panel, by moving it a little bit to the left it works but if the panel is completely moved to the right the "e" does dissapear.

it uses the space for the playlist duration. But i see in the config you have i could remove it

this version has the fixes for the above. I believe all the reported issues have been fixed

I've found 2 or 3 bugs while updating the french file.

Untranslated:

. In Preferences/Plugins/ mbprocessbar. Display playing process in process bar

Displaying bugs:

. In Preferences/Library/playlists. The french translation for the sentence that begings with "map..." cannot be shortened and it doesn't display correctly. Particularly the word "à" should be between the 2 blank boxes.

. In Preferences/First Tab/Bottom Right. The "Set custom font" button is tto short for the French translation and that cannot be shortened either.


Here is the latest french file: http://www.mediafire.com/?85az95wu4td9h54
I think this file will be very close to the first final version of the French translation by the way.
