Spanish MX #98

Closed ccavazos closed 6 days ago

ccavazos commented 1 month ago

Hey @cliss - I'll be happy to take a pass at es-MX to expand on the default es-ES that @unaiherran helped with.

cliss commented 1 month ago

I'd love that! Added in a9e2d55dede6b55e5d484465c14d1f328590ad8d; I copied the existing Spanish translation.

Depending on what @ccavazos wants to do, you might be able to use it as es-419 (Spanish - Latin America). But it's definitely possible to further specialize it to es-MX and es-AR, for example.

cliss commented 1 month ago

Yeah, I can switch from es-MX → es-419 if that's what @ccavazos is after. Y'all tell me! 😄

sayrer commented 1 month ago

For context, it usually goes this way for a Mexican user: 'es-MX' if available, then 'es-419' if available, then 'es-es' or just 'es'.

And please, if you find any typo tell me. I have checked and rechecked... but I know for sure one will surface just when it's released.

Hello all! I have submitted a PR with the es-MX translation done to the best of my abilities. https://github.com/cliss/callsheet-localizations/pull/112

@unaiherran you did a great job and it helped me a lot to get started! I did find a few typos and I did my best to fix them.

@sayrer is right that the way the localization will cascade for a MX user is going to be es-MX -> es-419 -> es-ES so for them is not really going to be any different. The value of creating es-419 will be for Latin-America (but non Mexico) users to see the MX version instead of the ES version.

I do believe that es-MX will be closer to Latin-American Spanish than es-ES but I'm not an expert on non es-MX languages to be 100 sure.

My recommendation for @cliss would be:

Also, if the PR is merged, feel free to close this issue 😃

I think the film/tv words will be about the same except for Argentina/Uruguay: RioPlatense. Less sure of the billing/subscription words.

I'm not that great at speaking Spanish, but I can hear it well. It varies from Chile to Mexico, but I can hear all of that. Argentina/Uruguay are a lot tougher, because it's the small words that vary, like "re" instead of "mui" etc. They can understand MX, but it's like an American listening to someone from Scotland or Australia. Research done by going all over Mexico and South America :), and noticing the film and tv is usually the same. It's on the level of BBC saying "Manchester United are", where American English would say "is", but maybe more severe.

Mexico is worth specializing against es-419, because there are a lot of English loan words from the US and some indigenous words that make no sense in S. America. The phrases are very short, so you're less likely to run into problems (vs translating a book or something)

@ccavazos -419 added in ff8d87ee62cd9ffac0c1f92672b5827f7186ce75; please take a look at your convenience!

I always ask a question about -419 dialects if I have the chance, and everyone says Peruvian is the one everyone understands (or, "most neutral"). Even if it is not super local, it will be understandable. But I think it will just be a few words changed from es-MX in this app.

ccavazos commented 1 week ago

@cliss I couldn't find any meaningful differences for this file. To the best of my knowledge I think is safe for you to include 419 and if you hear any feedback from latin American non-mexican users you can always reach out to me and I'll be happy to help.
