URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 Summary: Translator comments needed Project: Freeciv Submitted by: jcreus Submitted on: Sun Jan 16 16:46:29 2011 Category: None Severity: 2 - Minor Priority: 3 - Low Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.3 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux Planned Release: ___ Details: I have a doubt on the translation of a couple of strings in helpdlg.c (both for gtk and xaw). I have tried to display the help text where these strings show up, to see the context, but it's been impossible. Can you help me? The strings are in client/gui-gtk-2.0/helpdlg.c:116: Build: client/gui-xaw/helpdlg.c:1078 :Build: %d MP\n I suspect this Build is meant for a city, but it could also be an improvement. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of bug #17504 (project freeciv): Assigned to:None = jtn Summary: Translator comments needed = Translator comments needed for base help ___ Follow-up Comment #1: These are in the help for bases I added in patch #2049. You should be able to see them in the help for bases like fortress, airbase, and so on (Terrain Terrain Alterations Fortress, etc, in the help). They are the build cost for the base in settler-turns (that is, movement points), similar to the costs in the tables in the Terrain Terrain Alterations help topic. I'll add some TRANS comments to try to clarify this. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of bug #17504 (project freeciv): Status: Ready For Test = None Planned Release: 2.3.0-beta2 = ___ Follow-up Comment #2: I can see it now, thank you. Isn't MP for movement points a bit ambiguous for users, though? This is clear in the translator comments, but users don't see that. This is what we usually call worker-turns, isn't it? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #17504 (project freeciv): I guess Joan's point is true for most abbreviations used throughout the game (HP = hit point, FP = firepower, A = attack, W = worker, etc.). They're handy in many contexts and usually it's possible to guess the meaning, but maybe an additions help section explaining the abbreviations would make it 100% clear? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #17504 (project freeciv): Isn't MP for movement points a bit ambiguous for users, though? This is clear in the translator comments, but users don't see that. This is what we usually call worker-turns, isn't it? It is the settler-turns or worker-turns concept, but I don't think that term is used elsewhere in the built-in help (the Terrain Alterations topic comes closest with the number of turns required for one unit of Settlers or Workers to complete an activity). I'm trying to avoid referring to specific unit names to allow for exotic rulesets which may not have Settlers, Workers, or Engineers units (yes, the Terrain Alterations topic currently fails this test miserably), which leaves movement points as the only description left. It sort-of ties into the text in the Units help, although that could be more explicit. Re abbreviations: hm. Not sure about an abbreviations section of the docs; perhaps tooltips for places like this when they're mentioned? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #17504 (project freeciv): Re: abbreviations. Tooltip seems even better. Anything that would expand the abbreviation to the user, I guess. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17504 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
