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_storet is too long to be good. The text 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.


Français
seems ok


Korean
$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?)


Norsk (Bokmål)
$LANG_dlmessage is too long.
$LANG_linkst is too long.
$LANG_registryt is too long.
$LANG_aboutt is too long.
$LANG_forumt2 needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".
$LANG_back needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".

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


Português
$LANG_size is too long.
$LANG_forumt2 needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".

You need to change all the special characters to their representative entities.
This means changing characters like ç,ã,í,é,á,à,ã,etc. to things like &eacute;, &agrave;, &middot;, &oslash;, etc. (see endnote for more info).


Türkçe
$LANG_dllink2 is too long to be good.
$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_forumt2 needs to be translated too, although it must say "English".

You need to change all the special characters to their representative entities.
This means changing characters like ü, ç, etc. to entities like &uuml;, &agrave;, &middot;, &oslash;, etc. (see endnote for more info).


Valencià
$LANG_dllink1 is too long to be good.










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:

RE: [ALL TRANSLATORS] faults in current translations for website
er.. I can't find the special characters not changed to their representative entities :-/ Even the apostrophe " ' " (&#39; , not changed in my translation) is not on the official list.. And I don't think it's very useful to change it, but if i have to..

for example: ä, ö, ß, etc...

My mistake, sorry people :$ :$ :$
I've made a very stupid error in my quickly-slapped together program (It used a function that converted the entities back to the characters)
* CookieRevised slaps himself around from corner to corner...
:$

List is updated...

The apostrophe " ' " is ASCII 39, this is lower then 160. Characters below ASCII 160 don't have a entity (except a few ones), so you will not find it in the lists...
The reason why those special characters need to be changed to entities is because not all browsers can read those special characters, but they can read the entities, in other words to be conform to the W3C standard...

Thanks

I've changed most of your suggestions, but I can't see how
$LANG_dlmessage is too long. Looks fine here - I think ;)
