Dutch translation not consistent

[Henk Bangma]

Hi,

I noticed that in a lot of cases the dutch translation is not consistant.
For instance:
When I add a note tab I will see the following translations:
Notes -> Notities
Home Notes -> Startpagina berichten
All notes -> Alle berichten
Add a note -> Een bericht toevoegen
So the first translation is OK, but 'berichten' is wrong.

Another one:
In Add New Features I can choose 'Onderdelen' but on the next page there is talk of 'functies' instead of 'onderdelen'. Both are possible, but this is not consistent.

I can change this for my own site, but it would be nice for the dutch community if this would be corrected in the default template. I am prepared to help on this.

Regards, Henk

Hi Henk,

Thanks for letting us know about this. We don't currently have a formalized way to let you participate in the official translations that we offer, but one thing you can do is to create a group for Dutch network creators and share your translations there.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Thanks for this quick reply. Nice to point at the group facility. I had not noticed that.

But back to the issue. For my own site I can change the translation, so that is not a problem. The issue is to correct the translation you offer. So we can discuss this matter in a Dutch group, but without a formalized way to be participant in the dutch translation I do not feel much for putting effort in this. No offence! ;-)

Let's say I make a large number of changes to the transaltion on my site, is there a way to offer this translation to someone else by export/import? Or would this just be a matter of hard labour? Hate that!

Hi Henk,

You can export your translation, provide it as a text file, and another network creator can import it to their network, so there shouldn't be too much hard labour involved ;-)

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Wendy,

That is a lovely reaction! Here my answer:
Well, not all instances. Only when it concerns the Notes tab.
Because for instance in case of email; 'message' is rightly translated into 'bericht'.

I checked the translation file and guess that the following texts have to be changed:
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f1'] '%2$d-%3$d van %1$d bericht'
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f2'] '%2$d-%3$d van %1$d berichten'
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f3'] ''
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f4'] ''
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f1'] 'Het bericht %3$s van %4$s is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f2'] '%1$d berichten van %4$s zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f3'] ''
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f4'] ''
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f1'] 'Uw bericht %3$s is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f2'] '%1$d van uw berichten zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f3'] ''
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f4'] ''
$a['Y_ADDED_X_NOTES']['f1'] '%2$s heeft een bericht toegevoegd'
$a['Y_ADDED_X_NOTES']['f2'] '%2$s heeft %1$s berichten toegevoegd'
$a['X_NOTES_FEATURED_BY_Y']['f1'] 'Een bericht van %2$s is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['X_NOTES_FEATURED_BY_Y']['f2'] '%1$s berichten van %2$s zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['X_NOTES_FEATURED']['f1'] 'Een bericht is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['X_NOTES_FEATURED']['f2'] '%s berichten zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f1'] '%2$d-%3$d van %1$d bericht'
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f2'] '%2$d-%3$d van %1$d berichten'
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f3'] ''
$a['FROM_TO_OF_N_NOTES']['f4'] ''
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f1'] 'Het bericht %3$s van %4$s is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f2'] '%1$d berichten van %4$s zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f3'] ''
$a['NOTE_S_WAS_FEATURED']['f4'] ''
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f1'] 'Uw bericht %3$s is in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f2'] '%1$d van uw berichten zijn in de schijnwerpers gezet'
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f3'] ''
$a['YOUR_NOTE_WAS_FEATURED']['f4'] ''

bericht -> notitie
berichten -> notities

And on the Notes tab:
Home Notes -> Startpagina notities
All notes -> Alle notities
Add a note -> Een notitie toevoegen
Couldn't find them in the text file

I guess we covered most of them??

Groeten uit Amsterdam :-)

Hi Wendy,

That is good news. Therefor I consider thsi as a closed item.

Nevertheless I'll open two other discussions, concerning respectively Events and the Manage tab: /main/admin/manage/
