Catalan 8.70

Post by BKeeper »

Hi Don,

I love XYplorer and how you keep working to make it even better. (like that is possible...)

I can't thank you enough for that, but maybe I could take care of the Catalan translation. :mrgreen:

Let me know.

Thank you for your passion and dedication to XY, it shows. :D

BK

Happy 2013 Don!

Don't count me out just yet :)

The Catalan translation is really coming.

It's just a bit delayed due to:

-New year madness (that includes dec-jan)

-My decision to follow official Catalan translation guidelines. (which among other things dictate that different terms/verbs should be used depending on the context)

(yes, I had to restart my translation from scratch)

-My lack of familiarity with the terminology. (I use soft in English)

-Not wanting to release a partial/beta translation.

If I had to give you an ETA I'd say 3-4 weeks.

BTW if you have no translators for Spanish I could take care of it too.

what is the policy for TM XY terms eg: Branch View?

If we deviate too much (and don't translate documentation) I could be bad.

My inclination would be to keep the originals.
What are the other translators doing?

Thanks

Same here, except that at some point (moving, dec-jan madness, another translation I'm working with, several parallel stuff to do, etc *must* come first!) I'll be releasing an alternative '101% translated version', which means: *everything* will be translated, including those XY-unique terms, which I kept track of here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 879#p78879 (may be updated, but the basic idea remains there).

Oh, sure, welcome back! Great! :D

Spanish: Well, how could I say no to that! :whistle: :biggrin:

I'm sure you don't mind if I take Catalan now out of the list. You had your chance. Two of them. :P

Re: Catalan - >>> THIS LANGUAGE IS STILL FREE! <<<

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the keys the same way
I know you will still love me the same
So I saw the Finnish translation and was inspired to, you know... finish the catalan translation. :mrgreen:

As of today we have a catalan translation conforming to http://www.softcatala.org standards.

I still have a few doubts concerning special XY terminology (eg branch view) which in general I have elected not to translate.
I think software -and all other forms of artistic expression- should not be translated at all but my love for XY is such that if I can help a single calalan use XY I'll be happy.

Merry Christmas and happy 2016!!
