In French, echo and repeat are translated the same way #4715

Open clementcontet opened 1 year ago

clementcontet commented 1 year ago

Describe the issue In French, echo (level 1) and repeat (level 6) are translated with the same répète. Even though the levels are not that close and echo is not used after level 1 (afaik), I think it can be confusing for students.

Expected text Unfortunately, répète is the best translation for both echo and repeat :( But:

=> So maybe find somehting else for echo? What about rappelle?

Thank you very much 🙏, repeat is at level 7, and I did not reach that level yet. I was about to work on it this week-end.

I agree that répète has to be reserved to translate repeat. It is too bad for echo, where répète was working so well.

Propositions :

Propositions :

  • rappelle
  • re-dit (are we allowed to use dash in keywords ?)
  • écho
  • …

Difficult to choose as we know the translation will be worse than répète :( That being said, I find re-dit (say again) not that good because the again implies that the sentence had already been "said". écho is a bit odd because it is not a verb as echo is in English. My preference so far is rappelle!

That would to : 

demande Quel est ton nom ?
répond ton nom est

Perfect!

But a French spelling detail:

etienneCharignon commented 1 year ago

I chose réponds. What do you think?

Will you make this change in Weblate @etienneCharignon? If so, could you mention this issue on the weblate PR in which it is changed so we know it is addressed? Thanks!!

etienneCharignon commented 1 year ago

Yes. That's what I was thinking about to do. Unless @clementcontet want to do it before, I will probably do the change in Weblate this week-end.

I didn't investigate on how i18n is done technically, so I let you do that if you don't mind :)
