Hallo,
I have just downloaded Messenger Plus! 3 and I am using the greek Interface.
I have realised that almost 50% of the strings are not translated.
What is going on????
Thanks for any answer.

Mike, there is no need to post pics, just select the language in your Messenger Plus! and see for yourself...

panos78, indeed, but most parts (I say most, because there are still some not translated) are in fact translated. But the big error that the translators made is that they left big chunks of the English language in their translation-file. And because the English chunks come before the Greek chunks in the file, the English ones are read out and the Greek ones are ignored...

Example:
[SomeTopic]
ButtonLabel=This is the original English line
[SomeTopic]
ButtonLabel=Dit is de verteelde versie

The translated version of ButtonLabel isn't read out because the original is still there and comes first, and thus is read out instead of the translated one....


I left a message in my overview-thread about the translations because of this:

For Mike2:
I don't need to upload any pics because you can check it very easily on your own.
Thelo na xrisomopoio ta ellinika akoma kai an ksero ta agglika arketa kala. Tin eikona pou exeis deiksei tin exo dei kai to sigkekrimeno thema einai sinexeia ekeinou.

For Choli:
The percentage was just an estimation. No matter what, there are too many strings that are not translated.
I don't have a problem being a translator for greek. What should I do to join the team?
Thanks for the

I just checked the lang_greek.ini file and I haven't found any as the example you wrote:
Example:
[SomeTopic]
ButtonLabel=This is the original English line
[SomeTopic]
ButtonLabel=Dit is de verteelde versie

Can you tell me where did you find such strings?
Thanks

so who is the greek translator?

if panos is guna take his place

could i fire him

I don't want to take anyone's place.
I just want to be member of the  translation team

From the first look, I have found the following errors in lang_greek.ini file:

I removed this messages because it was making this thread unreadable.

panos: just a suggestion: don't write those long texts in greek in the forums because we see it as γέ etc... it looks really messed i suggest you put it in an attached file

This is the current Greek language file stripped from all the English parts...
(maybe you can use this as a base to start your corrections )

Sorry for the inconvience!!
Here is the correction in a text file zipped:
Thanks CookieReviesed for the Stripped file.
It is really helpful.

Cookie i didnt understand what that stripped file was

Thank your for reporting. The greek translation will be removed. When you'll have completed your update and do some tests, please create a new thread with your file so that it can be reviewed by others (check out the translation guidelines document at http://files.msgplus.net/data/TranslationGuidelines.doc).

Thanks!
