Cunning Linguists Wanted

[Coder]

OK, so it's an old joke and doesn't translate well to other languages, which is a shame as translating to other languages is what this post is about.

I've recently added UTF-8 support to GReader2X so that people can read texts in (almost) any language and one of the beta testers (sorry Fatih, I don't know the nick you use on here) has kindly translated all the on screen prompts, menu's etc. to Turkish.

It struck me that it would be good to have other translations available when I release the next version (fairly soon BTW).

The only problem is, I only speak English and I'd rather avoid the possible problems associated with using Google or such like to do the translations, besides, I don't know which languages would be most needed.

So I'd like to throw it open to the community, if any of you speak another language, and would like GReader2X to support it, please translate the following strings. It'd be best to post your translations here so there's no duplication of effort.

If you need to cut down long texts, you can replace "paramètres" with "param." and "sélectionner" with "sélect."

Here´s everything in German.
Hopefully I didnt misinterpret any of your words, as I dont know the exact context of these commands and stuff.

BTW: "Config Settings" - isnt that a tautology? Wouldnt either "Config" or "Settings" be perfectly sufficient?

BTW: "Config Settings" - isnt that a tautology? Wouldnt either "Config" or "Settings" be perfectly sufficient?

Most of these are prompts for keys "J-Right/J-Left = Select Colour Element" or "X-Key = change element" for example. (I should explain that colours are set using three elements (Red, Green & Blue) each of which can be from 0 to 255.

Config settings is not quite a tautology, it would be if Config was short for configuration rather than configure. ...or maybe not. I'm not sure any more

In any case, it's the title at the top of the screen that displays all the settings for you to change. The good news is that it's all configurable now. If you don't like "Config Settings", edit the .lng file and change it to something else

BTW: thanks for the translation

Here's for the french translation :

5 Choisir élément couleur i'm not sure about this one, i need to know to know what this menu item is about

This is instructions at the bottom of the screen where you set the font or background colours. Colours are broken down into red, green & blue elements, each of which you set separately, the left and right keys (whatever you've set them to) are used to highlight one of these elements and then up/down keys are used to cycle through the possible values.

So "select colour element" just means highlight the part (red, green or blue) of the colour you want to change.

Maybe a screenshot will explain it better than I can.

Colours are broken down into red, green & blue elements, each of which you set separately, the left and right keys (whatever you've set them to) are used to highlight one of these elements and then up/down keys are used to cycle through the possible values.

So "select colour element" just means highlight the part (red, green or blue) of the colour you want to change.

Ok so that would be "Choisir couleur élément" (exact and complete sentence is "Choisir la couleur de l'élément" but it's still understandable when shortened).

i think we will need a breakdown, (short explaination)of what each menu option does to translate correctly. great app btw Coder

I'll try to take a screenshot of each place these are used so you can see exactly how they are used.

great app btw Coder

Thanks.

 

[Coder]

I'll try to take a screenshot of each place these are used so you can see exactly how they are used.

OK, here they are, with explanations (king of)

This shows strings 0, 1 & 2 (the menu in the middle)

Shows string 4 (title at the top)

Shows strings 21, 7, 12 & 13 (instructions at the bottom) Strings 12 & 13 are shown on most config screens.

Shows strings 5 & 6 (at bottom)

More to come in another message

Shows strings 11 (at bottom), 14 & 15 (middle of screen)

Shows strings 8, 9 & 10 (actually only shows 8, but the screens for 9 & 10 are nearly identical)

Shows strings 17, 18 & 19 (actually only shows 19, but "stopped" is replaced by "Playing" or "Paused" depending on the state of the player.

The remaining strings 3, 16 & 20 pop up in a box when an error occurs, or when it may take time to do something and when loading a file.

Hope that helps, and I hope there aren't too many changes as I've just finished reformatting all the replies for GReader2X to handle.

Cheers,

Coder.
