Better Russian language

Open SkyBuilder1717 opened this issue 9 months ago • 9 comments

Current Russian was too offset from original strings, but I am here to fix it!

Fixed several Russian translations files, also deleted several useless strings.

Commits is bit of a mess, but trust me!

Reviews are welcome. I skimmed through the strings and they seem OK. @randomei Might you be interested in having a look at it? (ping due to #692)

~~LGTM. Will merge in a few days unless there are objections.~~

I'm objecting, because naming change is not close to original: 'lexiCON', 'heliCONs' - translating to 'лексиКОН', 'гелиКОНы'. Why should Mesecons be renamed differently?

Melectronic sounds more logical rather than Mezecons. Mesecons about wires and machinery, so name Melectronic sounds good in opinion.

"mesecons" has no direct meaning in English. It contains "cons", a short form for "connections", but that's about it. "mesecons" is a name. For example, I won't think you would translate "Amazon" into "Gigantic River" - or "Greenland" into "Northern Ice Plains". I would like to have a translation that resembles the English variant in pronunciation in this case. Hence, "Mezecons".

@SmallJoker also this pr is removing easter egg at mesecons_delayer/init.lua 109, what do you think about this?

Apparently I did not pay attention at all while browsing through the diff of this PR. I personally like that easter egg. It's only one string and doesn't need a translation if that's a concern. Please revert the Lua code changes for now. Let's limit this PR to translations only.

@SkyBuilder1717 But still, the mod name and its derivatives were changed.
