The aforementioned problem also appears in 'Theory' -> 'Name intervals'
exercises.
When f.ex. training 'thirds' and pressing 'new' and then pressing
'third', you see '... third' even though you had the line
'interval|third' translated into something else (in this case into
'terssi'). When you make a correct answer, you get the 'terssi' along
with the translation of 'Correct, the interval is a' showing in Finnish
as expected.
So, the translations of interval|x and notename|x don't seem to work in
all instances.
Also, the buttons in the 'New training set editor window' and 'Ear
training test printout editor' do not show the translations ('Export'
and 'Create sheet' being the only exceptions) but instead the English
titles.
I am not a programmer so I have no idea if using Vista has something to
do with these issues (some program features do not work with Vista) or
whether it is me screwing up or maybe just a bad weather. Since most of
the translations are being shown as they should, this seems not a top
priority issue but maybe better said than unsaid.

Hi and thanks for the quick reply,
Tried already this:
notename|b -> h
notename|bb -> b
notename|bbb -> bb
notename|b# -> h#
notename|bx -> hx
Isn't this the way it is supposed to be if we want to get all the
exceptions correctly?
Only the 'Id tone' config window shows 'h' - the 'Id tone' Practise
window as well as all the windows in 'Identify tone' show 'b'.

I believe you can get the notenames you want by translating the
strings "notename|b" and similar in the .po file. Let me know if this
is not good enough.
I hope you have read http://solfege.org/Solfege/TranslateSolfege

Greetings from Finland,
I am about to finish the Finnish translation and there is one quite
important question concerning which I would hope to receive some
guidance.
In schools we use the German notename system in which notename 'b' is
'h' (for the other exceptions check the bottom of the message).
Translating the notenames to this system does not seem to work fully:
For example Id tone config window shows 'h' but even in the same
exercise the Practise window always uses 'b'.
Most people I've played with speak about 'b' instead of 'h' so this
would not be such a major problem for most rockers but since I have
found Solfege potentially promising tool for the children beginning
classical training at the conservatory, I would be prone to think
that
the more traditionally oriented teachers would greet the software and
use it with even more enthusiasm if there was no notename mismatch
between the software and their books. Thus getting the German system
work would be recommended.
The best possible solution would be that the user could set the
notename
system from the Preferences.
I'm not totally new to Poedit, but while translating Solfege it seems
not to have compiled the .mo -files correctly - some translations
that
are there on the .po-file need to be cleared and copy-pasted again to
the same place (and saved immediately) to make them work in the
.mo-file. Anyhow, this does not seem to be the problem with notenames
since I've tried the same correction that works with other lines of
translations several times and the conclusion is: other lines
work when
re-entered, notename lines work only partly (as mentioned in Id tone
example).
So... any help/guidelines would be much appreciated. If most
people just
want to kick out the German system for good I will accommodate
with the
opinion and go on with my life (slightly bitter though ;) but it is a
point to consider first.
Kind regards,
Tuomas
