Hello!

the new beta of Messenger Plus! will soon be released so it's time for all of you to volunteer to update the current translation. Even if you think you're already on the list, you're not so please, read my new post at http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=12027 and send me an email to apply for your language!

Important: due to many changes in the new version, if a translation is not updated, it will be removed from the official distribution. Also, if your language is already "in progress" on the site, apply to be on the list too: your language will be added in the "private translators beta" so that you too can make the proper adjustements.

You have one week to submit your email. No PM on the forum will be accepted. Thank you!

Patchou

hi, ill do it to spanish/chilian   my email is lord_of_caos@vtr.net

hi patchou,
i wrote you already an email and offered my help to translate msg.plus! into german but i have an additional question which isn't unimportant for the future german translator(s) as well as for other languages...

in english you say "you" without thinking if you are speaking to your best friend or your boss, but in other languages you make formal differences between these 2 cases (in german you say "du" to your friend and "Sie" to your boss). i want to know how you would "translate" this. are you meaning the "formal you" like talking to unknown persons/boss/etc or do you mean "hey you my friend - use messenger plus! it rockz"?

i prefer the "non-formal" you

hope you know what i tried to explain

best regards and keep up the good work,
MisterB aka gooofi

I suggest using the same style as Microsoft does in your local Windows or MSN Messenger translation.


Am I in the list, Patch? I'll send an Email anyway......

okay that would be the formal you - but in the german msn6 it looks like ms tries to avoid this as often as possible.

most time you see eg "open 'my history'" instead of "open your history"

best regards,
MisterB aka gooofi

In the Spanish (spain) translation we had that discussion (format vs informal) and we decided use the formal ('usted' ('Sie' in german)). As sock said, you should use the same style as MS uses in its products and always kep the same style, not only with using a formal or informal 'you', but also in the error messages (all begining with 'Sorry, ...'), etc...

good point choli - looks also more professional i think

Yes, I remember that Patchou said once that the translations should look professional, so we (the spanish-spain translators) used the formal version, and all the translated lines keep some concordance.

Im here to translate it again !

best regards
gooofi

oh i c it at last
mplus-trans@patchou.com
thxs a lot

hey i can transulate to arabic here is my e-nail i3baid@hotmail.com

sorry my english is not the beste, thats why i dont understand something what you write here, but i search the german language for msg plus 2.20, sorry for possible grammar mistakes!!!

i will answer ballacks question in german, hope its okay

@ballack
eine deutsche übersetzung für die aktuelle version von msg.plus ist noch nicht verfügbar, da patchou noch keine offiziellen übersetzer benannt hat und auch nicht möchte, dass jetzt schon übersetzt wird (wird wohl bis zur final noch etwas verändert etc)
hoffe das hilft dir

thx @ goofi!!!!

i would gladly help in the translation   in swedish i send u an mail patchou!

Hmmm, it looks like you already have more than enough Dutch translators so I won't even bother sending in that e-mail.

Remarkable, a lot of Dutch people are active on these forums.

Patchou, I emailed you, but I'm afraid my hosts smtp server was/is down

hi patchou,
do you post here when the official translators are chosen?
it's better for me to know that i'm not allowed to help instead of sitting here and don't know anything

I have already started the translation of MsgPlus 2.20 in Romanian, but... as of version 2.0.45, selecting the language is disabled, so I will wait for the final MsgPlus 2.

So, Patchou! I will be MORE than happy to translate MsgPlus in Romanian!

Once you e-mailed him, he will e-mail you if he needs you.

I emailed him! I hope he does need me with the translation
