Missing Blank Space in spanish installation by warmth on 03-26-2008 at 04:24 PM

I don't know since when this error has been there but I have just noted it when I was installing latest release of MP!L at my office...

check the SS and you will see what I mean...

I haven't seeing the installation in other language but I think there is a problem there or seems to be...

Another think I don't like is the blank space before the word "Nota"... but I don't know if that is a standard...

This has been discussed before, i believe on the beta forum. It's the way Windows displays the text. The spaces are there like they should, Windows just makes it look weird (when you spend too much time looking at it :p).

It is no space before the word Nota:
It is just the way text is alligned to center.

And sometimes, it displays it as if there is a space when there isn't actually. I think that is Windows (XP)'s Clear Type text bug/problem. Because while I was checking my translation on software, I saw a wrong space in a word but when I checked the file there wasn't (yeah, warmth, you could check the Spanish file for this  too :) )and when I cancelled Clear Type (which is under "Display Properties>Display>Effects" on XP) and the text was displayed correctly without spaces.

Thanks for the report, but as MenthiX said, it's a problem with Windows displaying the text. If you look at the translation file, you'll notice that it's written correctly:

code:
LblInstallNote=Nota: Messenger Plus! Live se integra en Windows Live Messenger. No hace falta ejecutar un programa aparte.
The spaces are placed correctly.

Ok Choli... don't worry... maybe the text box must be bigger so...

... in my opinion, it's the clearest translation for we all hispanic users ;D

I may agree with the suggestion of "ningún" instead of "un", Felipe; however i don't agree with "integra a" in place of "integra en". I think that the prepossition "en" is the correct in that place, apart that it sounds better :P Back to "ningún" vs "un", keep in  mind that maybe we put "un" because "ningún" made the sentence longer os it didn't fit in the space :)

Anyway, thanks (as always) for the comments. We'll take into account for the next translation.

maybe there should be a version of MP!L in spanish for spain and a version for latin america :P!!!

RE: Missing Blank Space in spanish installation by Choli on 03-27-2008 at 06:06 PM

That was in the old days of Messenger Plus 2.x and 3.x; but all of us (translators and Patchou) thought that it was better to unify both versions and create a single spanish version. At the end, the language is the same so it does not deserve it to spend time creating a duplicate. :)

I know I know... was just kidding :P
