Haai, weet iemand wanneer we kunnen beginnen met vertalen voor MSN Plus! 3 en moet 't weer helemaal overnieuw, want 't krijgt toch een nieuwe look ofzo? Naja, xie wel. Alvast bedankt!

Hey, does anybody know when we can start translating MSN Plus! 3? That's about it, okay see ya!

Patchou will be again asking for volunteer Msg Plus translators soon after he finishes all things he wants in Plus! 3, in my opinion...

There is still a month or two before releasing

he is finished he closed the thread, and soon he will be asking for translators and testers


note to patchou : PICK ME

now what? Posting Freak rank says he's finished, Super Mod says 1-2months remaining!

yes i see now... the thread is really closed
but my question remains unanswered: Old translators remain (if they want to) or they are disposed and it's place for new generation ?

Of course old translators would be picked (well, that's what it should be) but Patchou can still ask for translators for new languages.

I still got a lot of work to do for Plus!3, I'm not finished at all . As for translators, I'll use the latest translator database (the onie I used for the Plus! 2.54 update). If some extra translators are needed, I'll let you all know in this forum.

Pssssst: Patchou, could you please anwser my e-mail.... i want to make some changes to the translators database system... i'd like to start working on it this weekend (starting friday).

Most off all i want to add something that enablers translators to communicate with eachother easier, and maybe something that enables them to hange their email adress themseleves if the got another adress... stuff like that... ideas are welcome, but i need access first 

and maybe for testers to

I think he meant you should make such a thing for the beta testers too....


Anyway, I personally don't care much about these improvements, as there's only one other person who helps me translate (he reviews my translation and suggests improvements), and I talk to him via MSN Messenger.

MenthiX, with last Dutch translation, there were a lot of people who said they would like to translate, but they didnt translate anything! They said the already send a "I dont want to translate anymore" email to you/Patchou, so could you please change your Database system, so we can add/remove translators. Thanks

Good point, i'll se what can be done about that.

However translators deleting other translators and new translators adding themselves (or being added by existing translators isn't a good idea i think. But translators deleting their selves if they do not want to translate anymore is at least an option.

Need to translateeeee.... I would even translate C++ into Spanish if it was going to compile that way...

I am no admin or other major dude like that, but let me explain my view about this translators deleting others stuff.
Hungarian language is currently updated by two guys: one translates, its me, and when major changes come, the other man reviews it (both names are included in the language file). I don't  think that more than 2-3 people are needed to maintain a language. After all translating MsgPlus is not so large work to do: i did it in a matter of hours, and updating is even less. No need for a whole group of people. Two are in charge, and if the translation is buggy or late, it is clear who has to work a bit more. So my point is: a few people who have been active so far should do the language, and if they wish to quit then the empty post should be refilled. No need for a bunch of people per language, small teams should be more efficient and argue less.
As I said previously, this is only an opinion, I tried to be constructive.

Why don't we use some open source CVS System, I'm sure there are some ready-to-use packages. In this way It could be updated and logged very efficiently. Don't you think?

well, maybe the translation responsability should be earned each time so the problem that Choli describes would be no more

I've already said many time to translators that when they think someone should be removed, they tell me. I then email the guy and if I dont get any good answer, I remove him from the list.
