🌐 Report an improper/bad translation here (other than English) #969

Description

@4ian

Translations are done by the community. If while using GDevelop in your language (other than English), you come across some badly translated sentences, you can:

There is something specific that is not translated properly

  1. Go to the crowdin project: https://crowdin.com/project/gdevelop - create an account if needed it's fast and you'll be able to contribute!
  • Choose your language.
  • Click on "GDevelop 5 (editor) messages to be translated" if the mistake is in the editor interface (but not related to events, objects or behaviors).
  • Or click on "GDevelop (Core and extensions) messages to be translated" if the mistake is in the events, related to an object or a behavior.
  • Search, on the top left, by entering the sentence with a mistake:
    image
  • Finally, suggest a better translation in the middle or add a comment on the right.
  1. Or you can report it here, including a screenshot showing the error/mistake/typo. But it's way way faster and better to report it on Crowdin.

Thanks a lot for helping GDevelop!

Oh my god, lots of sentences are badly translated

Post a message here with 5/6 different sentences that are badly translated. It's surely because of a translator that did bad translations. I'll go on Crowdin and remove all the translations from this person if it turns out that everything is badly translated.

Are you an expert/native speaker in a language and really good at English too?

Reach out to me (find my contact on my GitHub profile) so that I can set you as a proof reader. You'll be able to pick the right translations.


Don't reply on this issue for other things than mistakes in translation, to keep the subject tidy :) I'll remove any message not related to translations. But you can use emojis to react on GitHub ;) Thanks!

    _ is missing on message

    4ian note: should be easy to fix with a <Trans> component.

    En pintor de formas dice: The. en vez de: Te.

    Y también en el apartado luz no está traducido

    Eso es todo lo que vi por el momento reportare si veo algo más ;)

    The eventsheet should be in French.

    I've fixed for is inside condition on crowdin, for the repeat loop translation function is missing.
    Same in the rest of loops. Except the future loop on structure.

    There is a problem with a Spanish translation that cannot be fixed at crowdin: "Key" can be translated to Spanish into "llave" (key to open a door) "Clave" (password) or "Tecla" (a key from a keyboard) so in the editor, for example on P2P actions it appears key as "Tecla" (a keyboard key) instead of "Clave" (a password) or "Llave" (to open a door or something)

    There is two bottleneck;

    • Can the word key be detailed or be specific in the p2p extension?
      .addParameter('string', _('Key'), '', false)
    • If yes note we soon reach the word limit on Crowdin.

    There's a problem with Spanish translations: on the exportations screens, the things don't appear translated and in crowding there's nothing to translate. Also, I translated everything previously to the Gdevelop release

    Things that doesn't appear translated:

    • Window to build for android:

    IMG_20210804_141722

    • Some of the messages on the upper/tool bar

    IMG_20210804_141829

    • The What's new window

    Screenshot_2021-08-06_071826

    • Get a subscription screen

    Gdevelop translation

    • Subscription screen
      Gdevelop translation 2

    • Some things on the formula selector menu

    • Default name of the created objects
      untranslated new
      Gdevelop untranslation 3

    • P2P disconnect events

    • The splash screen customization options

    • Other error/info messages

    Sorry for the bad image quality....

    "key" in the p2p section is specific and different, it is "clave" instead of "tecla"
    In other sections "tecla" is ok

    A new untranslated thing discovered: We need your support/subscription pop-up (added to the list)
    Edit: also discovered new things, added to the list

    I added the missing tags for the translations.
    For the others they were already there, it's just that the translation files have not been updated for the latest builds.

    Other error/info messages

    Did you know which ones?

  15. DH-555 commented on Aug 20, 2021

    @DH-555

    Did you know which ones?

    If I remember correctly, one of them is the error that appears when a file gets corrupted

    @Nintorch

    Is there a chance values/variables that have conditions and actions can have separate texts for values and conditions, please? The current system works fine for English but it doesn't quite work well for languages with cases like Russian. Let me explain with a picture:
    Image
    When I first tried GDevelop's translation into Russian I noticed that it had a text like "Изменить переменная" inside of an action to change it (that text is incorrect due to cases in Russian, already fixed on the picture above by me in Crowdin), but the text in the condition ("Переменная A из B = C") was correct.
    When I tried to fix that, I changed "переменная" text in Crowdin to "переменную" so the text inside the action would become "Изменить переменную" (correct) but the condition text then became "Переменную A из B = C" (incorrect).

    I suspect that the reason for that is that in code the names for values and variables are specified only once and then the first letter is made uppercase for conditions, thus sharing the same text for 2 different scenarios where they should be different in other languages due to cases.

    @4ian Sorry for bothering you if you're busy, but may I ask what do you think about this issue? 😅

    I am not sure about the problem, but will give a tip (because I understand you want to improve the translation).
    Stupid tip, maybe you know, but I will write it anyway:

    Things that you will change in Crowdin, will not automatically change in the app. You have to give time (for an update) until your fix translation will go into the app.

    If that is the case... o(. .o)'

    Unfortunately, I don't think this tip will solve the problem I described :(

    I humblely apologise: I don't have any report on the translation in Italian at the moment, I say at the moment; this is my first message in the chat, I don't want to interfere and I don't have the power to interfere, I would like my game to become more famous (Wwukong), the last thing I fell is the 404 error is on the sharing for browsing to Facebook obviously from the orders I deleted it, I find great difficulties, in Italy to progress in making the program or the game or the game in G games (since I would also have a solution that cannot be implemented at this time complex in explaining, in a matter related to both minimum size coupons; for which we cannot organise the aforementioned rewards to the players or game players of our games, since the sum or the prize authorised by law is one euro one euro, they passed the procedure and via contract.
