Typo in Czech translation of the desktop context menu item

Open AsciiWolf opened this issue 1 year ago • 10 comments

Windows Terminal version

1.20.11781.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use latest, fully updated Windows 10 system with Czech locale and latest version of Terminal installed.
  2. Open the Start Menu and search for "Terminal" to confirm that the launcher is correctly translated as "Terminál".
  3. Switch to the desktop and right click to open the context menu.

Expected Behavior

"Open in Terminal" in the desktop context menu is translated as "Otevřít v aplikaci Terminál".

Actual Behavior

"Open in Terminal" in the desktop context menu is translated as "Otevřít v aplikaci Terminal" instead of the correct "Otevřít v aplikaci Terminál" one.

Context menu item in File manager (Explorer) has the same typo.

I did not test this on Windows 11, but I suspect that there will be the same typo there too.

@zadjii-msft Any news? Did the localization team look at this? Thanks!

Reported internally as GCS-716551.

@lhecker

Thanks! Here's another possibly incorrectly translated string:

Can you explain what's wrong with the AppDescription translation?

lhecker avatar Sep 11 '24 13:09 lhecker

Sure. It just does not sound correct. :-)

The original string is "The New Windows Terminal". It at least should be translated as "Nový Terminál Windows" (correct grammatical gender because the word "Terminál" has a masculine gender in Czech).

See the Google Translate output for this string (ignore the lowercase "terminál", that's incorrect).

It is still unfixed! Terminal instead of Terminál.

Only the second problem got fixed.

@DHowett @lhecker Please reopen this ticket.

Any update?

Reopened the localization issue internally because it wasn't properly fixed by the localization team.

lhecker avatar Oct 03 '24 15:10 lhecker

@lhecker Any news about this? It's just one incorrect character in two strings (contained in four resw files). It should hopefully be fairly easy to fix. :-)

It should hopefully be fairly easy to fix. :-)

You say that, but you don't know our internal processes. 🥲 They translated it to Otevřít v &amp;Terminálu in this PR: #18031 Does that sound right to you?

lhecker avatar Oct 21 '24 14:10 lhecker

Does that sound right to you?

Yes it does! :-)

Thanks!
