So, just to clarify, what new strings have been added in the last month?

Nothing as far as I know, karvanit did some changes to the translation system but I think he kept everything synced, you'd have to check with him.

I have made some changes that enable translating complete some complete sentenses. Also changed some code to use count-depended code.
I have placed the strings last in the file, based on original language content (see commit 7433e2).

The following now have a '{1}' marker where the actual craft name will appear:
STR_EQUIPMENT_FOR => STR_EQUIPMENT_FOR_craftname
STR_SELECT_SQUAD_FOR =>STR_SELECT_SQUAD_FOR_craftname

The following have many forms, based on the value of n: The suffix "_0" means the form will only be called if n is 0, the rest are language specific. All can handle a '{N}' marker that will be replaced with the actual value.
STR_n_UNITS_IN_EXIT_AREA
STR_n_UNITS_OUTSIDE_EXIT_AREA

There is also a STR_ABANDON_GAME_QUESTION, which only the Spanish translation should care about (because it needed to have the extra inverted '?' at the front).

Ok I've tracked down and compiled all the changes.

These strings need reviewing (see this thread for explanation):

STR_DAY
STR_EQUIPMENT_FOR_craftname
STR_SELECT_SQUAD_FOR_craftname

Excellent work, SupSuper.

Now, with the feature freeze happening, has there been any new strings?

added three more

STR_GROUNDED
used to describe UFOs/Craft that are on the ground on the geoscape, seperate from items on the ground in battlescape.

STR_LIVING_QUARTERS_PLURAL
used in the base information screen to describe how many of that facility type you have operational.

STR_ENEMY_WEAPON_LEVEL
used in the "new battle" menu to describe what level of equipment the enemy will have (pistols, rifles or heavy plasma)

This should use the translation's ability to provide different forms (like the STR_DAY_* strings), so we can use the proper forms from different languages.
I'll look into it.

They're two strings used in different places, not a pluralization.

Yes, but we should still use the translation's support, because different languages have more than one plural form, depending on the actual number referenced.

It's for the base stats menu. Hangar has "Hangars". General Stores have "Stores". We needed one for "living quarters" because in some languages, the best term for the building might be singular, yet we still need a plural or generally differing term to apply in the base stats menu. In my case (portuguese) I translated living quarters as "Bloco Habitacional" (which is singular) but translated this new base stats screen living quarters as "Habitações" (which is plural). Other languages could also use an equally plural term but require a completely different word. This is why we needed a new string here.

Karvanit, whenever you have the time, please show up on IRC. There are a few new strings which I feel they also must be added regardless of pluralization rules.

Well since warboy broke the camel's back I might as well add a tiny little thing. :P

Quote
STR_DISPLAY_FILTER

Also I have reviewed the Advanced Options english text based on user feedback, check if it affects your translations.
