Dutch: text doesn't fit by Re-Mi on 11-04-2003 at 04:26 PM
hey all,
in the beginning there were just one or two words that didn't fit.
but now we are getting more and more text in windows and it doesn't fit anymore.
i inserted an example of the update screen.
maybe it's an idea to let the translators ajust the screens or somebody who know's what they are doing before a release i know i'm a bit late but with the example i'm missing a few line that may be inportant.
hope that you all know what i'm talking about
greetz,
( i know in the beginning greetz was © WhiteShark but i haven't seen him around lately 
)
thnx for moving fraise

Might be that this amount of words somehow corresponds to the amount of Dutch people involved in the translation. Just a hunch!

I've seen that a LOT in the old translation... didn't really check this one tho... it's kinda annoying and unprofessional. 
* Mippo is going to check this version as well some day...

Post edited because Mippo is too lazy 
Post edited again because my text was still too long.

However, I don't agree with your first edit... I doesn't make it clear that there's a new update 
RE: Dutch: text doesn't fit by Dutchwall on 11-04-2003 at 09:42 PM
oke edited the Nederlands.ini file. we only have to wait for next update of Messenger Plus! now. The fix will be included there
greetz,

This is exactly why I think the translators beta versions of Plus! should allow browsing through all of the Plus! windows without having to trigger them like a normal user....
I had a problem with that window as well because it's so hard to trigger... The problem wasn't with the text length, but with the text direction/alignment, which only Patchou can fix. Oh well.
Greetz.

That would be very useful, because we'd be able to check our translation better, without doing other things

Well, My answer to all this (I'm one of the translators), check your versions first before posting
It was already updated in the new translation (v2.51.68): This is the text in this version (there was no need to change it!)
Text1=De update is volledig automatisch. Klik op "Downloaden" om de benodigde bestanden te downloaden. Er wordt een bericht weergegeven als de update klaar is om geïnstalleerd te worden.
Message=Er is een update beschikbaar. Het is aanbevolen dat je de software update om gebruik te kunnen maken van nieuwe en verbeterde functies, en een grotere stabiliteit.
And in this version there are NO texts anymore that are too long (I've check this with ResourceHacker, dialog extraction and moddification, before sending Patchou the last update)
BTW: From now on (v2.51.68) I've included a version number on the first comment line of the translation, you can reffer to this when making suggestions....

EDIT
agreed with sock and Choli (now I do this with Resource hacker...)
