Translator Q&A

[boroda]

Steven, MB adds colon to the end of string #Main.msg.Stfywtmtsf# ('Select the folder you want to move the selected files to:'), i.e. colon is duplicated ('Select the folder you want to move the selected files to::') in dialog.

edit:
it only happens for 'send to/folder (copy)' command. For 'folder (move)' all is OK.

[Steven]

its intentional the ":" is added programtically - you need to remove the ":" in your translation for #Main.msg.Stfywtctsf#

First issue
Main panel - track detail view – rightclick – Play more… - Play title ‘…’ Now and Qeue title ‘…’ next and Queue title ‘…..’ last
The second word 'title' is in translation small case like in German “Spiele titel ‘…’ jetzt”. In German 'Titel' is written capitalized.

i've changed the behavior so that default is now as it was before you reported this issue.
For the german translation file, you need to add this (make sure there is a tab after the #)

#Setting.AllowLowerCase#   False

this .exe supports the change:

Steven,

May you update the cumulative changes in the Translation Files Status topic? I'm not sure if I missed one or more new strings.
Thanks,
Lore

Thank you Steven  latest .exe works perfekt as ever

One thing in latest new.txt:

Last line should beginning with #Stetting...... and not with !Setting.....

[Steven]

its intentional as i expect most languages wont use that

[Wolo]

Steven, is it possible to make the sentences which appear in the context menu translatable ?

[Steven]

i'm not sure what you mean - can you give me an example

[Wolo]

Sure, when you right click on a folder with music files, you have 3 options related to MusicBee: "Play in MusicBee, Queue Next/Last in MusicBee".

Also, when you open a folder and select a music file, a "Play in MusicBee" button appears on the top left, could it be translatable ?

Main Panel / Right Click on one column / Other Fields -> Encoder Settings, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist, Virtual#, Custom# are not translated

[boroda]

B79. Backup library: statusbar text 'Backup in progress', 'Copying #/#' and 'Backup completed' is not localized.

B80. Begin editing of lyrics in the right panel, right-click on text: 'Cancel Edit' is not localized.

B81. Statusbar text 'Auto-tag completed with # files updated' is not localized (except for '# files').

B82. Text 'No dead links' in main panel and statusbar is not localized.

B83. When MB cant locate last used library displayed dialog 'Choose music library' is not localized, i.e. strings #Lib.ctl.B3DCB49A#, #Lib.ctl.C87899CD#, etc are not used by MB in this situation.

B84. 'Removable Disk' under devices panel is not localized (for drives without label).

Main Panel / Right Click on one column / Other Fields -> Encoder Settings, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist, Virtual#, Custom# are not translated

custom and virtual tag names are user configurable in Tags(1) preferences. The problem is the defaults are set on the very first usage of MB and wont change when the language is switched.
- "Encoder Settings" must be your own field as i cant find it
- Virtual and Custom# will need to stay as is - reason being it has implications if i allow the name to be changed and i'm not willing to do that at this point as it might break something
- "Sort Artist" "Sort Album Artist" are defined in a config file. At the moment there isnt any localisation of the config file thats installed with MB, so these will need to remain as-is for now
