Hi Christian, The French translation is (nearly) done. (the .po is in the import queue)
Here are some tips for the next release... - When you ask translators to translate an app, the relative app should be in a kind of "string freeze". You should not change the .pot, except to fix typos. This is to prevent translators to go mad when they notice that what they translated yesterday no longer exist. - You should avoid at any cost this kind of strings: https://translations.launchpad.net/qt-shutdown-p/qshutdown-trunk/+pots/qshutdown/fr/142/+translate Because, you know what? There is (at least) a typo in it. "configurationfile" should be "configuration file". So, when you will correct this, translations of this whole and huge string will be invalidated for all languages. I hope you see the problem... (that's why I did not translate this string yet) - Some strings are strange. For example: https://translations.launchpad.net/qt-shutdown-p/qshutdown-trunk/+pots/qshutdown/fr/110/+translate and https://translations.launchpad.net/qt-shutdown-p/qshutdown-trunk/+pots/qshutdown/fr/111/+translate Why couldn't you just use something like "The file "%s" is not writeable" ? (but, please, don't change it now. These kind of changes should be for the next release, see my first point) - I don't know if this is qshutdown-specific, but nothing is displayed when a string is not translated. I mean, usually the English string is used when the translation is not available. This is not the case in qshutdown: a blank is displayed. So, because of this, you can't include nearly-done translations. So there is a bug somewhere here... About qshutdown iself: A checkbox to set if another checkbox should be checked by default? Really? Well, I'm not a designer but is this necessary? You could just save the last state of the checkbox. The same goes for the "Keep proportions" and the "Logfile" options in the menubar. Put them in the settings, it should be enough. More generally, the UI seems quite complicated for such a simple app... (well, ok, this is out of topic ;)) Cheers, Nicolas _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
