Jag gjorde en liten sökning under Information i Hjälp- och supportcenter i XP på "-knappen":
Två mönster:
1. Start-knappen
2. knappen Sök skrivare
Men INTE Sök Skrivare med versalt S i Skrivare (detta är det amerikanska skrivsättet. Är det också så i norska?).

I installed Norwegian W2K for a client yesterday - didn't find any references to buttons, but I noticed they've used capitol letters to describe progress, menu names etc. I'm not so sure if this is a good/correct translation, but keeping it close to MS translation would make it more intuitive.

I also noticed that we've skipped something;
In "Plus!\Instillinger\Lyder" there's something like this: En liste over alle lydene kan du finne i "Plus!\Send Command\Sounds" menyen..." - corrected this.

changes:
Plus!\Send Command\Sounds > Plus!\Send kommando\Lyder
Bytt knappen > Bytt-knappen
Legg til knappen > Legg Til-knappen


Søk skrivere would be the correct translation, but I feel that correct Norwegian doesn't always reflect the best translation. Our language wasn't  made to be used in the computerworld, if you ask me - It's our job to twist it around so that users would understand it with as little thinking as possible.

update: ..and here's the file (rev8.1)

Some corrections?!?

BEFORE:
[Uninstall]
Title=Messenger Plus! - Installasjon

ScreenStart=Dette programmet vil avinstallere Messenger Plus!. Hvis du installerte sponsor programmet, vil det også bli avinstallert.\n\nTrykk... osv

ScreenOK=Avinstallasjonen av Messenger Plus! var vellykket. Noen filer var låste, og vil bli slettet ved neste omstart.\n\nDu kan installere Messenger Plus! igjen når som helst - med eller uten sponsor programmet... osv

SponsorCorrupt=Installasjonspakken for sponsorprogrammet er ødelagt!\nDu får denne meldingen fordi en eller flere filer er slettet, enten manuelt eller av et antirekalme -program. Dette hindrer avinstalleringsprogrammet i å gjøre jobben sin... osv

Thank you!

Aj.
How could we have overlooked "antirekalme"?

We are currently translating for the next version now - will implement your changes.

I think "anti-reklameprogram" sounds better than "antireklameprogram", so I will change this one to.


Thanks for your input.


edit: Changed it for current version also. rev8.2 attached.

I found a lot of minor things in the Norwegian translation (for MP!3). Interested in seeing them? Do I send them to you or do I publish them here?

Yes, I know there still are quite a few things that needs modification. I appreciate any input you might have.

If you could mail them to me, that would be great.
Thanks

1:

Section: [IMWindowMenu]
Current text: Ping=Send en Ping foresp&ørsel
Fixed text: Ping=Send en Ping-foresp&ørsel

2:

Section: [IMWindowMenu]
Current text: ContactOperations=Kontakt &handlinger
Fixed text: ContactOperations=Kontakt&handlinger

3:

Section: [PrefDlg.SoundsConfig]
Current text: Title=Lyd Konfigurasjon
Fixed text: Title=Lydkonfigurasjon


Please, anyone who speaks norwegian, confirm these modifications.

Thank you,

CommandorX

I think this has been a topic quite a few times... Sometimes it is hard to find out if the word should be splitted or merged - we have had the same problem in the Danish translation a lot of times

But it seems like you have merged an corrected the Norw. version very well
