Please help translation XMBC to your language?

[phil]

I'm changing the text "Desktop switcher" to "Task View" as that is actually what it is now called in Windows 10.
What is a good translation for this?

"Desktop Switcher" => ""
will become
"Task View" => ""

I would like to update the language files before the next beta if I can but if you want to wait, thats fine!
Thanks for any feedback.

Here is the updated translation sample for XMBC 2.11 Beta 15 (when it comes out - probably tomorrow)

language_template.xmbclp

It has one changed translation (above) and two new ones!

Hi Phil,

Thanks Clubfan and Dipisoft.
I've gone and added another string for beta 16 - sorry about that!
I've already made beta 16 available but I will update the translations in the next beta/release as usual if your good enough to update them again.

Thanks, and sorry for messing things about!

Hi Phil,

It seems to me that there is an error at line 363 of last language_template file: there are two {MXADD:n} and no {MYADD:n}.

The text of line 349 ("To press a b and c...") appears in english, not translated.

Nevertheless, here comes the french translation for the beta 16.

Regards,

damien/dipisoft.

OK, I'll take a look at those issues

[phil]

OK The issue was with the two spaces before the text - I have fixed it and updated all the templates to match and your French translation now works (but you need an updated beta too so it will work in beta 17/release 2.11 )

NOTE to ClubFan, the Russian translation is missing the following lines. I updated the translation file BUT I don't have a sensible translation for either so next time your looking, could you add those too (around line 348):

Code: Select all

# -- Added in 2.9 beta 6 --
"Special tags for send methods 1,2,4,5,6,7 & 9:\r\n\t\t\t{PRESS} Press down the following keys\r\n\t\t\t{RELEASE} Release (let go of) the following keys\r\n\t\t\tNOTE: You must {RELEASE} any key you {PRESS} in the same sequence!" => ""
"To press a b and c, wait 100ms and release them: {PRESS}abc{WAITMS100}{RELEASE}cba" => ""
# -- 

I guess I need to add some validation to highlight missing translations to make these things more obvious - but that will be tricky (perhaps comparing with the template but that would mean the template had to be correct ) and certainly wont be in 2.11!!!

Nice!

Hi,

here the new translation file for XMBC 2.11b16

Andy

German.xmbclp

[LiquidMX]

Polish translation file updated for 2.10.2

and this line can be translated, but default display is still in english

"To press a b and c, wait 100ms and release them: {PRESS}abc{WAITMS100}{RELEASE}cba"

[phil]

Thanks LiquidMX,

I'll stick this in the 2.11 release (there are quite a few new translations in the 2.11 beta template but we can worry about that later!)

[phil]

And so it begins.... 2.12 Beta 1 has 2 additional translations:

Code: Select all

# -- Added in 2.12 Beta 1
"Click Button 4" => ""
"Click Button 5" => ""

[AndyK]

Hi,

what did you mean with... "Button 4" and "Button 4"

Is it the the fourth and fifth button on the mouse or what else?

Thank you.

Andy

[phil]

Yes it is to simulate a click of the 4th or 5th button - just like "Left Click" simulates a click of the 1st button and "Right click" simulates a click on the second button...

I was thinking maybe all these should be grouped together "Click: Left" "Click: Right" "Click: Middle" "Click: 4th" "Click 5th" but this would take more work because all the translations would need updating!!!!
