O.P. Wink  [ALL TRANSLATORS] faults in current translations for website
I've checked some translated webpages, and here are the (technical) errors I've found:

(june 13th) Fixed the list concearning the entity-use
(june 13th) Added "Deutsch", "Português" to the list
(june 13th) First update


I checked for:
  • Missing translations
  • Too long lines
  • Proper use of entities (<= many mistakes there)
I didn't check for spelling, nor gramar, nor any other language-rules.




Afrikaans
seems ok


Català
$LANG_registryt is too long to be good. The text should be on 1 line to make the hooverbar nice-looking.
$LANG_storet is too long to be good. The text should be on 1 line to make the hooverbar nice-looking.
$LANG_supportmsgplus is too long to be good. The text should be on 1 line to make it nice-looking. (maybe change msgplus! to Plus!)
$LANG_features7 has a bad entity-character: ".....atractiu l'&uacte;s...."


Chinese Simplified
seems ok


Chinese Traditional
seems ok


Dansk
$LANG_dllink2 is too long to be good.
$LANG_dlmessage is too long.
$LANG_registryt is too long.
$LANG_size is missing.
$LANG_dlbutton1 is missing.
$LANG_dlbutton2 is missing.
$LANG_forumt2 needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".
$LANG_aboutt is maybe too long, needs to be checked after $LANG_registryt has been fixed.

You need to change all the special characters to their representative entities.
This means changing characters like å,ø,æ, etc. to things like &eacute;, &agrave;, &middot;, &oslash;, etc. (see endnote for more info).


Deutsch
seems ok


Español (España)
$LANG_forumt1 is too long to be good. The text, together with $LANG_forumt2 should be on 1 line to make the hooverbar nice-looking.
$LANG_aboutt is too long to be good. The text should be on 1 line to make it nice-looking.


Español (Latino)
$LANG_registryt is too long to be good. The text should be on 1 line to make the hooverbar nice-looking.

$LANG_forumt2 needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".
$LANG_back needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".
$LANG_hide needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".

There seems to be a misplaced ";" in the beginning of the page (after the body-tag). This can't be fixed by the translators, but needs to be fixed by somebody who has access to the page itself (Guido, Patchou?)

Note about the entities:

Each character with an ascii code bigger then 160 or unicode-character must be written as an entity! Characters with an ascii code between 160 and 255 can use the entity-name format and unicode characters should use an entity numeric-format.

Lists of these entities can be found here:
http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entitiesref.asp
http://www.intuitive.com/coolweb/entities.html
http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLdocs/NewHTML/iso_table.html
http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/entities.html

The official complete list is found here:
