just curious, why the difference in colour? greenish, blueish...

Harvey

nolan why the difference in colour?

Note blue has 0 strings to review and others have strings still pending review.

davidjharder

nolan: strings in transifex go: suggested -> translated -> reviewed. Green is translated. Blue is reviewed.

Sebastian

davidjharder Hey David, question here:
Instruction says: If a string includes a new-line character, be sure to include it in the same place in the translation.

Is same place to be understood as of like behind the equivalent word in the translation, or rather as after the same amount of characters?

Sebastian

Also, does
Do not translate the following strings; leave them untouched:
Packagekit
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP

mean I cannot translate Packagekit update error as Packagekit-Update-Fehler? In the same sense, can {} be directly followed by - like that {} session becomes {}-Sitzung?

davidjharder

@Sebastian
New lines should be placed to break up equivalent amounts of text to get reasonable spacing. They don't need to be after exact words.

"Packagekit" is a name so it should not be translated, I think "Packagekit-Update-Fehler" is fine, as long as a German speaker (I assume this is German) would understand that "Packagekit" is the name of the thing giving the error.

"{}" followed by a dash should be fine.

davidjharder Oops I'll go back to untranslate 'packagekit' from the Hebrew. 🤦

Sebastian

davidjharder Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that is german. We like to combine severval words to one with dashes a lot.
By the way, all german translators here work on German (Austria) (de_AT). Which is fine, doesn't make any difference for our translation purposes here.
Just make sure that all people with any kind of german locale get the same translation,
like German (Germany) (de_DE) and what else there might be.

Yes, the German speakers understand it very well.

Cheers!

@joebonrichie has been running the MTT through its paces. First batch of translations are looking good

Sebastian

Any chance translators can run this tool bare-metal on a spare hard drive or in a VM for final check of translations before release?

joebonrichie

Sebastian It's landed in unstable now so if you have a MATE install or wish to setup a Solus 4.4 MATE vm you can
