French translation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, i'm Zil,

First of all, I'd like to thank you very much for what you did, and by you, i 
mean the whole 'evochamber' team. This is a very good job. I guess there always 
be something to update/upgrade, and that's why i'm here.

This is a very simple suggestion :
Do you want the software to be translated in french?

About myself : 
My name is Gil Sand, I'm 21 and I'm mostly spending my time on 3 things. 
Gaming, Partying, and Skydiving. I've studied a few years doing math, then I've 
worked in subtitling for 1 year, for a Belgian industry ( Belgium is where I 
live now ) called Studio L'Equipe. My work was to sync & place the subtitles 
correctly, and of course edit them if there was anything wrong with it (eg 
translation). Now that I saved money, i'm in vacation for another year, and I 
plan to spend it in the 3 things I like.

My e-life was fullfilled with joy : I started, like a lot of people, with Doom, 
and enjoyed FPS till Half Life ( mod: Natural Selection) where I played in 
team, top1 in Belgium, nicely ranked in Europe. Then I started RTS around 15YO 
with Warcraft III, mostly DotA and sometimes laddering 1v1. I've been admin on 
dota-league for 1 year, and kept playing DotA/HoN till SCII release. Now I'm 
laddering 1v1, and started mapping.

About my language level

I totally master french, as i've been living in Belgium my whole life ( let's 
round that to 20 years ) and had a nice education. For the other part my 
english skills are pretty decent (i'm writing this, I guess you don't have a 
hard time understanding it), and I'll be living in Australia now to improve 
them. 

I think it is something that you need, mostly because the french community is 
slowly hearing about evochamber. Well, just thinking about it now, i could 
actually talk about it here and there, I know a few places where it could get 
some nice hits.
Whatever, this is not the point, the fact that you need this software in french 
is yours to decide, I just personally think it would be a very nice choice, and 
I'm looking forward to your answer.

This is me trying to help you, you can contact me here or at gsand.be@gmail.com 
; I guess Facebook would work too, but I'd rather use PMs.

Thank you very much for your time,

Best regards,
Zil.

Sorry about the Defect tag, obviously it isn't.

Only members can change the issue type, which is why it shows up as Defect. :)

Thanks for offering to help!  That would be great if you could do a French 
translation.  The process is pretty straight forward--just look at one of the 
message files (listed below) and translate the text.  Evolution Chamber 
currently supports English, Korean, and German, so you can use whichever 
language you are most comfortable translating from.

In terms of how the file is formatted, you must translate everything to the 
right of the equals sign so:

history.delete=Delete

would be changed to

history.delete=Supprimer

(or whatever the right word for "delete" is in French :) )

English -

rc/java/com/fray/evo/ui/swingx/messages_en.properties
Korean -

German -

rc/java/com/fray/evo/ui/swingx/messages_de.properties

You can post the final translated file here, or email it to me at 
mike.angstadt@gmail.com.

There's no rush.  We don't want to make your traveling any more stressful than 
it already is.  The more relaxed you are, the better the translation is going 
to be.

Okay here is the first version of the french file i've done.

Its not over yet, but i'd like to see it in the program to see if it fits ( the 
buttons might be too smalls, stuff like that ).

I would certainly have to rename things, because what i did now was kind of 
rough.
I've put words between " ----- " because i didn't know how to translate them, 
googletranslation didn't either, and i'd like you to explain those words to me 
so i can find a word in french that would fit.

1 :kjoonlee (----??Korean stuff??----)
2 :Cyrik (----Refactoring?----)
3 :stats.stagnationLimit=Limite de '-------stagnation??????-------'
4: '----checksum----'

And i've got a few other questions about some things but i'll ask later. 
Sometimes ( since i'm just translating from the raw code ) i'm not sure if by 
'build' you mean an actual building or the build order we're trying to create. 
its just an example, i'll figure it out later by doing build orders and see 
where is everything.

Tell me what you think, if possible, implant it and send me a 'private' version 
so i can find new words.

Another thing : FailedToHaveRequired=Failed to have required
Does that make any sense, even in english? I feel like there is a word missing 
after 'required', like, units, upgrades, build order, anything.

Anyway, this is getting long, just tell me what you think and if possible, 
explain me the few things i showed above, so i can find a word that fits, in 
french. Thank you for your time and your help :)

Thanks for the quick work.  The words that you listed are sort of technical 
terms, so they can probably go untranslated.  The Korean text next to 
kjoonlee's name I think is Korean for "Korean translation".

The "zerg.unit.UNITNAME.build" lines are actions--as in "build a Zergling".  So 
"build" is a verb.

The "FailedToHaveRequired" message isn't supposed to be a full sentence.  It's 
used to build a string such as "Failed to have required 5 Drones."

Attached is a build of Evolution Chamber that includes your translation.  
Select "French" from the language drop down menu to load the French 
translation.  Thanks again and let us know if you have any more questions.  No 
post is too long.

A few things to report :
-Everything I translated appears in the software, except in the YABOT tab and 
the Simple tab. The YABOT tab seems always unhappy, but I don't know anything 
about coding, and I always try simple builds just to check if everything is ok.
-The language tab, every language require a capital letter, i can't change it 
either

And another minor thing : I always have to work with the scrolls to find my 
buttons, I don't know if that can be fixed somehow, but I have a lot of free 
(grey/white) space and I can't see every button on one screen. I'm on 1280*800, 
if it helps.

I've modified a few things here and there, nothing major, and when the things 
i've mentioned above the french version will be ready for an official release.

Have a nice day :)

The problem you were having with the YABOT and Simple tabs may have been due to 
the fact that the message file was missing a message string 
("FailedToMeetWaypoint").  This can cause a simulation to break if it tries to 
access the missing string while running.

Did you use a different text editor to create this file?  I get some weird 
characters when I open it.

Committed change. I was able to read the text file, Mike.

I was getting weird characters like È instead of é and ‡ instead of à.  
Attention world: Just suck it up and use ASCII!! :-P

I used the windows notepad to edit, should i use something else and re-edit the 
mistakes that the notepad created?

Original comment by GSand...@gmail.com on 28 Jan 2011 at 2:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, that's OK.  I will have to try loading the file in different text editors.
