Translator's Questions

[uli-on]

Translating both terms, Appearance and Interface with Aussehen leads to confusion. Interface is Benutzeroberfläche, and if too long can be shortened to Nutzeroberfläche, or simply Schnittstelle. Not as speaking as my first proposal but better than the current term that doesn't let users differentiate.

There's this menu item "Installieren" (English origin is probably "install", in the Quick Access section). It opens an endless list of images, though. Is this translation correct/misplaced, or can it be improved? How?

How to proceed with further findings, post here and rename the topic? Open new issues for each? Contact the translator?

[TranceLove]

@uli-on You can help improve the translation via transifex.

Is the German translator active still? (Conflicts foreseeable in that case.)

Remaining:

Is this translation correct/misplaced, or can it be improved? How?

[TranceLove]

@uli-on Not sure if the original translator is still actively working on it, but I think you can still provide your suggestions. If there is no opposition we may integrate them into our codebase.

Thanks.

But please: Re the - in my opinion - wrong string for installieren/install, there's no fix/proposal/opinion/hint, yet

No one should use the same word twice, you should change the current translation.

Guys, I've just registered to Transifex, logged in and tried, and it's a true mess, this software. Never seen seen such b...t! I'll never again blame s.o. for faulty translations. Honestly!

[VishalNehra]

Is there an issue? Are you not able to translate there?

[uli-on]

Not on a Mobile (no mobile theme, 25% font size), not with a black theme (not editable). I would have had to shift the page around which lead to incidentally tapping wrong fields/strings... and registering my mail cost 6 open browser windows.
But I'm now at my desktop PC and it's better, I'll find my way. I'm used to Crowdin, sorry.

[uli-on]

OK, I've also finished all open strings now, except for one (ftp over ssl connection) where I've asked a technical question.

[uli-on]

I'd like to point to something that looks like a structural/organisational problem, see screenshot from Transifex. It's about the translation of "Images", but similar might have happened elsewhere and in 77 languages. Please read from bottom up.

"Bilder" is the correct German term for "Images".
"Installieren" is the German term for the verb "install", BTW.

[uli-on]

Heads up, guys, two questions in one post!

1 - How should I handle NEW questions re translation, ask here (after renaming the topic to e.g. "Translator's Questions") or open a new topic each time? I'm asking because:

Over at xda there's been a question that points to a translation issue in German language.

2 - Hence: will the menu width (one file selected > three dots menu) grow automatically or will I have to abbreviate?
