cecilios commented 3 years ago

Welcome!

At http://lenmus.org/en/phonascus/translation_instructions you can find translation instructions, but do not download the zip package from SourceForge, as it is not updated. Instead, use the latest PO files in the lenmus repo. Current PO files for eBooks form are at https://github.com/lenmus/langtool/tree/master/locale/de

To download any of them click on it. The file content will be displayed in a new window. Click on the [Raw] button just over the first line of the file, at right. Now the file content is displayed in your browser. Save that page Menu > File > Save Page As and give it the correct name (e.g. TheoryHarmony_de.po).

In case you would like to review the GUI translation, the PO file for the GUI it is at https://github.com/lenmus/lenmus/tree/master/locale/de . File lenmus_de.po.

Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks for your contribution!

Hi Cecile

I had some vacation so I could finally work on the german translation of the theory and harmony file. You will find it attached.

There were a few minor errors in the following strings of the original english language files: 1) Let's play all note names along one octave, starting on C. We will get the notes C-D-E-F-G-B-A-C: -> The B needs to be after A

2) Next we meet our first semitone: A. (There is nothing we can squeeze in between #G and A). -> The # has to be after G

3a) Don't forget to look carefully at the clef, to place the note in the right line or space!. and 3b) To understand how to build diatonic scales you need to know what is a tone. In a previous lesson we've learnt about semitones or half steps. Now you will learn about tones: A tone is just two semitones!. 3c) We've learnt that the octave is divided into twelve notes, spaced by one semitone. When played one after the other we get the chromatic scale. But chromatic scales aren't very interesting to compose music. In Western music tradition normally you would not use all twelve notes to compose a melody, as it will not sound 'good'. Therefore, musicians learnt to choose the 'right' notes that were useful to compose 'sounding good' melodies, and grouped these notes in 'scales'. So let's learn about how to choose the 'right' notes to use and about the scales they form. But please remember that people in different musical traditions have different ideas about what notes they think sound best together!.

-> There is a point after the exclamation point.

4) Tones.Major scales There's a space missing after the point.

Cheers, Daniel

Yes, this must be the case. Here's the attachment, anyway. Cheers, Daniel

Spain, near Madrid

ardourmanual commented 3 years ago

Guau, me fascina Madrid. Hace un año estuvimos allí para visitar amigos. Y la razón porque me motivo de participar en el proyecto de Lenmus es que vivía en Nicaragua por siete años trabajando en proyectos de cultura para el desarrollo. Allí un compañero me presentó el programa Lenmus. Después estuvo viendo que no haya traducción al 100% en alemán. Ahora vivimos en Suiza y aquí trabajo como profesor de diferentes materias también de música. Una vez terminada la versión en alemán lo voy a recomendar a mis estudiantes.

Saludos Daniel
