I must have missed that part.


No, but why make a scene about it??

I could understand if I had deleted your name or maked it shorter, BUT I DID NOT, and my name in the About box is only "A. Madsen", and your name is <removed>, you see the difference?

In my opinion, translating only 2 sentences does not give you the right to add your name to the credits. The official translator team are who should decide who is going to be on it.

----------------

But still I have to go back to:
* Why did you update the translation file without contacting the current team (you know - I still put my name on that file and if you change it into a piece of crap I - well – let’s talk in lowercase: GET PRETTY ANGRY.

* And again – we’ve spoken to you about being a translator - is it that difficult to understand that we aren’t recruiting?

* And don't you get the point? (if not: The point is not only that have you modified the file and added your own name, but what do you thinks happens if everyone changes the file and sends it to Patchou? - I really, really, don't care what you have added (except your own name - that pisses me of), changed etc. but for God sake; modifying your file and using it yourself is okay but sending it to make it official is crossing the line.)

I don't want to discuss this futher - Go outside - play hide and go f*** yourself

I did't contact you, cuz' I really did't think that people could be SO angry, and cuz Patchou did't said anything about we should contact you; and i did not turn it into a piece of crap!

I understand it completely, but still, i am a translator according to Patchou, which i think is the only to choose.

I really dont think that Patchou will accept every translation, do you?

It doesn't make the problem any smaller that MarZie didn't change anything but the requested lines, and that he didn't corrupt the file or its "credits"-text. Patchou said, originally, that:

"I need two things to be translated for the next minor update and I don't want to bother the official translators for that. Please post the translation for this line in your language (and do not post for anything else, it will help be update all the files faster ). Thanks!"

Notice the term "official". If MarZie understands English he'll know that this indicates that he, though he might be a translator (according to Patchou and the definition), is not an official one.

(Patchou doesn't say whether MarZie WILL BE an official translator though.. since the "official translators"-bit is a reference to a group existing before the brief translation - but if he had meant that MarZie (like any other who translated those few lines) was to BECOME an official translator, I think he'd have mentioned it)


I don't think few lines makes a person eligible for the "credits", and I'm having a hard time believing that MarZie should be of another opinion himself; though a doubt might exist - Since the first name doesn't appear.

By the way - I am a member of the Danish translation team. And on a personal note, I'd like to, additionally, thank MarZie for not molesting our .ini, for not kidnapping our families and, finally, for not filling the streets of our cities with napalm - since Patchou didn't tell him not to, and since it's reasonable to believe that it wouldn't piss us of. We shouldn't focus on the negative issues alone..

There'll be a final reply shortly; an ending statement from the translation team. Then it'll be closed :)
