Hello,
I'd like to ask if there are any translators out there who would mind translating some strings for my recently updated script.

It shouldn't be too much work I don't think... and credit will be given to any translators.

I've already got Spanish done

Kind regards,
- Mark

code:

---

langSettings[0] = "_Live Event Log";
langSettings[1] = "About";
langSettings[2] = "To HTML";
langSettings[3] = "Hide";
langSettings[4] = " has played: ";
langSettings[5] = " by: ";
langSettings[6] = "Count";
langSettings[7] = "Song Name";
langSettings[8] = "Artist";
langSettings[9] = "Configuration:";
langSettings[10] = "Change Language >>";
langSettings[11] = "Delete Song Database >>";
langSettings[12] = "Reset";
langSettings[13] = "Created By:";
langSettings[14] = "More Info:" ;
langSettings[15] = "Website";
langSettings[16] = "Special Thanks To: ";
langSettings[17] = "Contact Music History: ";
langSettings[18] = "by ";
langSettings[19] = "Page Generated Automatically by ";
langSettings[20] = "Your top ";
langSettings[21] = " most played songs are: ";
langSettings[22] = "Logged by ";
langSettings[23] = "An update is available for ";
langSettings[24] = "There are no songs currently logged for this contact!";
langSettings[25] = " - played ";
langSettings[26] = " times";
langSettings[27] = "Created at: ";
langSettings[28] = "<no data>";
langSettings[29] = "Click here ONLY to confirm this action!";

Translating a software program with only the original language strings available will result in crappy translations.

When you translate software the most important factor is the context, and you can't know the context if you don't have the working program at your disposal.

eg: string 26 "times"... what 'times', is that plural for 'time'? do you mean "multiply by"? Is it the name of a Magazine? etc...

You can't translate stuff in that way. People need the program to know what the strings are used for (not to mention to know how long they can be).

blahblahblah... I didn't realize you posted a link to the program... I'm very slow today

I'll update this post with Dutch translation to make it up

---------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE (Dutch):
   langSettings[0] = "_Live Mediageschiedenis";
   langSettings[1] = "Over...";
   langSettings[2] = "Opslaan als HTML";
   langSettings[3] = "OK";
   langSettings[4] = " speelde: ";
   langSettings[5] = " door: ";
   langSettings[6] = "Aantal";
   langSettings[7] = "Titel";
   langSettings[8] = "Artiest";
   langSettings[9] = "Voorkeuren:";
   langSettings[10] = "Taal veranderen >>";
   langSettings[11] = "Mediageschiedenis >>";
   langSettings[12] = "Wissen";
   langSettings[13] = "Gemaakt door:";
   langSettings[14] = "Meer informatie:" ;
   langSettings[15] = "Website";
   langSettings[16] = "Speciale dank aan:";
   langSettings[17] = "Mediageschiedenis: ";
   langSettings[18] = "door ";
   langSettings[19] = "Pagina automatisch gegenereerd door ";
   langSettings[20] = "Je favorieten ";
   langSettings[21] = " meest gespeelde liedjes zijn: ";
   langSettings[22] = "Opgeslagen door ";
   langSettings[23] = "Er is een nieuwe versie beschikbaar van "
   langSettings[24] = "Er is momenteel geen mediageschiedenis voor deze contactpersoon!";
   langSettings[25] = " - ";
   langSettings[26] = " keren afgespeeld";
   langSettings[27] = "Opgeslagen als: ";
   langSettings[28] = "<geen data>";
   langSettings[29] = "Klik hier om je mediageschiedenis te wissen."

but, all the stuff said below makes it that it is impossible to make a proper Dutch translation for this script...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT 1:
- Your script is very buggy. Things don't work like they are supposed to concearning the interface (the logging itself is fine).
- There are things which aren't translatable (eg: "version:")
- There are things which are translatable but not updated when the language changes (eg: "thanks to")
- There are things which revert back to English (eg: /xsonghist)
- Extremely many translated lines will not fit in your interface.
- Your script detects media changes, these can be things other than songs. Thus don't use 'songs' in your texts. Or: make a clear destinction between media and songs (also in the translation).
- Many code in your script can be optimized or be done with a plus function (eg: instead of grabbing the registry key for the script path, why not use MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath)


EDIT 2:
This goes in general, thus for everybody who wants to translate their scripts:

1. Make sure you have enough space for the translations! English is a very very very short language and most other languages need far more space.
   
2. Take in account different syntaxis in other languages. Not all languages have the same grammar syntax as English.
   eg: not in all languages the syntax is:
      "played x times"
   in some languages the verb must come after the count number (eg: in dutch: "x keren afgespeeld")
   In other words, try to keep to be translated words/sentences as a whole, do not split them up in seperate things to translate. Use tags if you need to. eg:
   instead of:
      langSettings[25] = " - played";
      langSettings[26] = " times";
   do:
      langSettings[25] = " - played %s times";
   
   In dutch this could be solved by using:
      langSettings[25] = " - ";
      langSettings[26] = " keren afgespeeld";
   but this wont be possible in every language

Thanks very much guys for your translations Much appreciated!
I've updated the .plsc on my website containing the new strings.

Cookie: Thanks for the comments, I'm aware of the limitations of the translations but at the moment it'll do.

As for the code... I'm sure it is quite buggy! I pretty much converted it all from C# while I had some free time so it's a bit of a rush job and a working progress.

EDIT: if you want i can make a luxembourgish translation too but i dont think that it'll make any sense cause im the only luxembourger on this forums

Thanks, you guys are throwing them out faster than I can update the file!!

Don't worry about the Luxembourg translation!

i found something that sux a bit in your script...i use a-patch an the option to reverse the normal "song - artist" from wlm into "artist - song" from a-patch. but now your script shows the artists as song and the songs as artists

Well thats a bit silly isn't it!!

Erm, prob quite easy for me to fix actually... PM me with your MSN address so I can investigate further.

Translation isn't the best right now, because i haven't been able to see all contexts yet. Also the structure of strings doesn't allow to use the most appropriate formulation. I'm going to update this translation at some time later.

updated version

now all the words will fit, except the "about" button (because there is no other way to say it), so can you please stretch it until everything fits? (for all languages)

also on ur website in the template it says: Play Count/Song Title/Song Title instead of artist

and also on ur website u should list all the translations included

and if you havent noticed, the count/artist/song in the main window doesnt change with any language

last thing: other people need to revise their translations in order for them to fit

Supersonicdarky:
Thanks for the updated translation, I'll update it shortly.
1) The template on my website is from an older version of MLP.
2) All translations are listed on my website... look at the bottom on the main page.
3) I actually don't know how to change the column header text on the fly yet... as soon as I do I'll update the script.

Cookie is right, I don't expect people to update their translations to make it "fit" that's my job to actually update the interface!
