[Thread] Translate AlDente and get 50% off AlDente Pro for a Year

[MatthiasKerbl]

Hi Everyone,

We have completely revamped our translation system and also started an incentive for translating AlDente by offering a 50% discount on the first year of AlDente Pro.

You can find all the information on our website "Translate AlDente and get 50% off AlDente Pro for a Year".

Thank you so much and greetings from the kitchen,

David and Matthias

Hey,

Here is a fully translated french file. :) I've done my best to keep the length of short messages (like button labels) as similar as possible while keeping the original wording. However do not hesitate to ping me if a specific text is too long!

Currently working on Italian version. One question:

"lblStopChargingWhenClosed" = "Stop charging\nwhen app closed"; "lblStopChargingWhenPoweredOff" = "Stop charging\nwhen powered off";

Are these two the same? 'cause as far as I know there's no option to limit the charge while the MacBook is powered off.

Hi @simotau,

Thank you so much for helping us.

This feature is different depending on which MacBook model you use. In short: Apple silicon MacBooks don’t have the ability to pause charging when they are powered off. Therefore, the feature is called "Stop charging when app closed". On Thunderbolt 3 Intel MacBooks, on the other hand, charging can be paused while they are turned off. Therefore, the feature is called "Stop charging when powered off". You can read more about those features and what they do in detail in our blog post here: https://apphousekitchen.com/feature-explanation-stop-charging-when-powered-off-app-closed/

Cheers, Matthias

Hey!

I tried my best to do a decent job: https://gofile.io/d/aUtv55

I left some word like "Top Up" or "Helper" the same. The first one 'cause I think it's a cool way to name a feature, the second one in order to make easier to people to find the application helper into the Library folder if they want to.

I hope my Italian fellows won't be too judgmental to me 😅

Bye, Simone.

Hi Matthias, Although Hwang did a great job on his/her Korean translation, but I found some parts are have to be improved. So I send you a version of mine anyways. https://gofile.io/d/oXU7rx Specific words are from Korean version of macos. Also applied it into real app and made some adjustments on line breaking and word choices. (But I was not able to test it in all scenarios like installing) In this way the reading will be much natural. One thing I worry about is the sailing mode part, it is not that natural and idk if I really know about this feature. If there are some mistakes, I hope someone correct them later. Thanks a lot for cooking an awesome app!

Great job! Do you need a Portuguese-BR version?

Hi @brucruz,

Yes, we still need a Portuguese version.

Hi, I really like the app and would like to contribute to translating it into Arabic if you like me too. Arabic letters are encoded differently than other languages and are read from right to left. Should I just replace the text in the string file directly or do I need to do something special with it?

Hi @ammarfatani,

Thank you for helping us. For now, you can just replace the text in the file.

Hi Matthias, Super. Expect it in a day or so. Am currently trying out the free version but will definitely upgrade to the pro later this month. I have a couple of ideas that I will share with you once I have done so. Cheers

Hi, I have translated the file to Dutch (nl-NL / nl-BE). I've tired to stick as close to macOS native wording as possible. Everything should be OK, but a second pass by someone else is always appreciated. :)

https://gofile.io/d/hxPiNz

Also, I have noticed there are no strings for the update or license screens (?)

I really enjoy the app as I’m spending all my time with my MacBook at home, so here is a translation in Greek!

https://gofile.io/d/VF5PZi

Any chance those of us contributing to a translation could get a pro license key as a courtesy? No worries if not, keep up the good work!

[KonradDIKU]

Polish is here! https://gofile.io/d/liQ4SS

All should be fine, at least understandable by an every native speaker! ;)

[Patryk122PL]

Hi, native Polish speaker here!

I've fixed all little and contextual mistakes in polish translation by @KonradDIKU (btw. great job Konrad! I assume polish isn't your native language and yet I'm impressed by overall pretty accurate translation - thank you for making it).

Download: https://gofile.io/d/Mc23VP

Side note: In english example file there are two mistakes in what supposed to be compared to what description says. These two are: "hlpShowPercentage" and "hlpShowBatteryIcon". Their description is just the same as for "hlpShowOnlyAlDenteIcon".

I've provided correct translation in my file, but you may want to update this in OP since it might be overlooked by other people.

Cheers, Patryk

Hi @spacemachine3924,

Thank you so much for the Greek translation. Since so many people offered to translate AlDente even before we introduced the option of translations, we did not think about offering AlDente Pro for free. Hope that's understandable.

Hi @Patryk122PL,

Thanks for the improvements. And you are right, there is something off with the descriptions you mentioned. We will look into this.

Hey guys! I would love to translate AlDente to Portuguese (Brazil), but I'm having some trouble to open the links. It displays a message saying that the file does not exist.

[xhable1337]

Hi, I am Russian native speaker, and I would like to fix translation, bc in some cases it's very complicated and wrong, but link in OP is restricted. Am I supposed to request an access through the Google's form?

[Patryk122PL]

Hi, I would like to suggest an improvement into translating process. Could you upload to GitHub already translated files so we can do pull requests ourselves?

Basically I submitted Polish translation a year ago and since then quite a lot has changed in AlDante. I wanted to update my translation but lost the file so now we have some aspects of the app quite well translated mixed with small errors and a few mistranslated lines.

Cheers, Patryk
