HELP: Windows Installer translation completion
« on: February 26, 2024, 08:32:55 pm »
Hi guys,

the windows installer is missing a single translation in many languages... maybe we can change that?

https://app.transifex.com/openxcom/openxcom/installer/

The string is "Installation folder is not portable." or if that's hard to translate then you can also describe it as "The installation folder doesn't support portable installation."


Missing languages:

Arabic (ar)
Bulgarian (bg)
Chinese (China) (zh_CN)
Chinese Simplified (zh-Hans)
Chinese (Taiwan) (zh_TW)
Croatian (hr)
Danish (da)
Estonian (et)
Finnish (fi)
French (Canada) (fr_CA)
Hungarian (hu)
Icelandic (is)
Indonesian (Indonesia) (id_ID)
Norwegian (no)
Portuguese (Portugal) (pt_PT)
Serbian (sr)
Spanish (Latin America) (es_419)
Swedish (sv)
Ukrainian (uk)

Did my part for the Dutch language.

Opted for a bit more of a descriptive translation since that felt more natural.

Funny though, when it comes to openxcom (and software in general) my natural language feels kinda ... alien.

I'm french speaker and it seems good for fr-ca too but i will ask a professional fr-ca translator to take a look. Idk if he will check but well, cost nothing to ask, he already gave me advices to translate XCE.

I noticed some typographic errors in fr translation, idk if i can fix them ? It's mostly things like "Game Files" -> "Fichiers du Jeu" that should be translated to "Fichier du jeu" (caps shouldn't follow the translation after the first one)

I'm not sure about French conventions, but I did this for the Polish version.

We have typo conventions clearly defined in books and websites, and quebec (ca-fr) have also a website dedicated to rules about how to translate to french. I try to stick to ca-fr rules for fr translation without being to strict with anglicisms.
