List of machine translated strings

Open NeverDecaf opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

The following strings in messages.json were machine translated for various reasons: (First line is the key in messages.json, the following lines are all the locales which were machine translated.)

options_updateDelay pl popup_removedExtensions pl pt_BR popup_removedExtensionsTooltip pl pt_BR options_importExportHeading de fr ~~it~~ pl pt_BR ~~pt_PT~~ ru options_importExportInstallAllButton de fr ~~it~~ pl pt_BR ~~pt_PT~~ ru webstore_removeButton de fr it pl pt_BR pt_PT ru zh_CN

The following strings are not currently used anywhere in the code (so translation is not necessary):

options_importExportDescription de fr it pl pt_BR pt_PT ru

es-419 needs a quick review by a native speaker. (see #93)

I don't think I understand what is supposed to be done; do we need to re-translate the machine-translated strings and remove the last option_importExportDescription from the file? (btw the latter is not even present in the italian Json atm)

I made this to keep track of all the strings in one place in case more are added. If the machine translation looks fine to you then you don't need to do anything. In some cases the original translator disappeared and I was forced to machine translate new strings so having this list is helpful in case someone wants to correct the translation in the future. options_importExportHeading and options_importExportInstallAllButton are only 2 words each so I assumed machine translation would suffice, which is why I shipped v1.4.0 without asking for translation help.

If you want to confirm the machine translation is good let me know here and I can add a ~strikethrough~ to the list.

The unused string(s) is something I thought might be used later, you can safely ignore it as I'll open an issue if any are actually used. (For example, options_updateDelay was unused for months but when the option was added to the extension I already had the translations available.)

Thanks for the explanation; both options_importExportHeading and options_importExportInstallAllButton look good to me in the Italian translation.

I'm no longer maintaining this list, instead I have set the description of all MTL strings to MTL in messages.json so you can refer to the file for your locale to see which strings need proofreading.
