Filling in translations

rorystephenson commented 2 years ago

@bastislack I think I've covered all of the translations but there were a lot and it's likely I have made mistakes or missed some. Give it a try when you get a chance.

One thing you'll notice is that I changed some existing english words, e.g.:

StickFrequency -> Stick Frequency ComboList -> Combo List

The main reason is because you can't really follow the same style in spanish as for example ComboList becomes "Lista de Combos" which I think reads weirdly for a spanish speaker if it's ListaDeCombos since de is a preposition and isn't usually capitalised. Secondly I think that style is a bit unusual if you aren't a developer used to seeing camel case.

I also changed PostTrick/PostCombo to Create Trick, Update Trick, Create Combo, Update Combo since post is developer-specific language.

For the places where I changed the existing words I'm not bothered you'd prefer that we change them back. If that's the case let me know how you think the spanish version should be.

Great work!! I have two questions left:

  1. Should we ask a native spanish speaker to check the translations (e.g. David)?
  2. Is it also possible to translate the descriptions and tips of tricks/combos?
bastislack commented 2 years ago

Regarding my second question, is it even possible to do this with the tag approach? Or do we have to implement it ourselves? Like adding a new column in the google sheet and writing the translations in there and then depending on the locale we decide which entry to display?

Thanks @bastislack 🙂.

That would be a good idea. I'm easy on whether we ask someone to look at it now or after deploying and then change any wrong translations.

Spot on, we'd have to add a new column and use the locale to decide which description to show. It would be a fair bit of work to translate all of the descriptions but it would definitely be great for Spanish speakers. For those translations we'd have to get some motivated Spanish people involved! Maybe that would be nice as a next enhancement for the translations?

I think this would pretty much be the most important feature in the spanish version. I will add the new column on the google sheet this week and just use an online translator. I asked David if he wants to fix the translations later, let's see if he is motivated.

I translated the trick descriptions and sent them to David. Let's wait for his feedback.

@bastislack do we have some news about this?

bastislack commented 1 year ago

He didn't check yet, but he said he will do it :D I reminded him again now. Let's see. Otherwise we just merge it, I would say?

top, no problem we can wait. I changed it into its own Milestone...

23 out of 200+ translations have been checked for now. I think it might be better, if we just release the translations as they are and add something like an infobox where people can tell us if a translation is not good. We can still let native speakers check them, but it might be better, if we are not dependent on them.

I totally agree!
