O.P. RE: Dutch Translation (2.51.68) [MessengerEvents]
Ok, noted... May I just reply to all this also:


-> "the longer ones are more clear".
Well I think it is just the opposite. often (almost always) you CAN'T see the whole line in the eventslog-window. (especially when name-changes occure).


->"the shortest one doesn't even tell you what is going on anymore"
Sure it does... First when something is added to the eventslog-window it IS because of a change. Second you have to see the whole picture, not just the lines above... In the eventswindow you have also a column with the contacts name before the eventcolumn... It IS clear enough...


-> "the other ones seem so cold + distant"
No arguments there... (although I like the "cold" -I call it SHORT- look for the eventslog -only!, cause for all the rest it's nice to see "friendly" explenations-)


-> "The longest is most easy to understand"
Maybe in the case of "Naam: %s", but that can be "Nieuwe naam: %s" for that matter. All others seems very clear enough for me...
Remember that an eventslog is all about changes...!


-> "it will be nice and visible in the log file of the Event Log Viewer."
Outch... Have you ever seen the logfile? I always have to scroll at least 1 window to the left in notepad to see what's going on... (screenres: 1024x786 and normal fonts!) And if I set wordwrap on, it's just a complete mess.... Remember that most contacts have very long names which already take up a whole screen when viewing in notepad (or any other texteditor for that matter).


So IMHO, the arguments are not solid or thoughtrue. Only KnightieBoy had a good argument. But it is a matter of opinion what you like, so... I'll change nothing for the release, but I will use the shortest one for personal use then...
(PS: It just seems like everyone is affraid of change -errr... never mind this- :p)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT
But what about the "shorter" one then? a compromise between the two. Only "Contactpersoon" -the subject- is removed which makes the lines shorter but -using the arguments- still keeps them understandable? (IIRC, one of the previous translation had this also)
