I translated the game into Dutch on Transifex. I hope it is useful
Sorry that it is a bit late in the development cycle, I know The reason is that I only discovered the game one week ago... I really like it, so therefore I decided to do a translation.

I did some in-game-testing, but not too much yet. So there are probably some errors and inaccuracies left, which I intend to find and remove in the coming days...

Edit: By the way, sorry for not posting in this topic before, but during the past few days, when I was translating, the forum seemed to be inaccessible for some reason...

Hi willemS,

Thanks a lot for the translation!

I'll merge all that asap back into master so more people can test.
Don't worry, there will also be RC2 release thanks to all the feed-back received by cxong, dimproject and last but not least Akien.

Best regards,

Welcome aboard! Feel free to harass Bertram with constructive feedback ;-)

Yes there was a downtime of the forum for a few days because of a small delay in the domain name renewal.

@Akien: Do you know how I can have a look at all the active issues on a project at Transifex?

EDIT: Since we have two kinds of problems:
Errors in French & Errors in English.

After the next merge you have prepared, I'd propose us to fix all the english mistakes and push the pot to Transifex.
Then we would be able to defuzzy strings if those are only small typos and such, ...

Ok with it?

Best regards,

Sadly I'm not sure they have a "issue tracker" for those comments, or at least I did not find it. I know only of two ways:
- You should (hopefully) have gotten a notification for each "problematic" comment that was filed. You can access your notifications by clicking the boxed number next to your name when you're logged in.
- If you weren't notified, then we have to browse through the list...

Since this Transifex feature is not optimal for managing issues, maybe we could have this kind of workflow:
- Mark a string as problematic with explanations on Tx, the "issue" will be handled there
- Add a reference to the string (number in the GUI, msgid) in a tracker issue on github.
WDYT?

I guess most comments are about English strings, I might have issued a couple about French strings, but then I decided to translate it in French as I wanted, and report potential issues with the English string.

Let's do as you proposed, maybe in two steps:
- Update the pot file with changes for typos, language issues that translators would not have reproduced, etc. and unfuzzy all strings
- Update the pot file with the rest of the changes that impact the meaning of a sentence, and that require translator intervention. Then we could leave those strings fuzzy.

Oww nooes. well, my instinct told me to keep the mails. Pheww....

Fine, but just in case, only one issue about all the typo/fixes to do on github.

Ok, let me first review and merge your first pull request.

Best regards,

It is possible to get a list of active issues: in the translation editor, click the search box, and choose "Issue" and "yes". Then only the strings with issues remain in the list

Thanks a lot @WillemS!!

Dutch translation now in master. Thanks WillemS!

It will be part of RC2 and the final release.

Nice! Thanks to you for making a great game!

There seems to be a non-translatable string in the keyboard settings: Unknown key...

Edit: Oh, never mind, this is only caused by the fact that I upgraded from 0.6.0 to RC1 with the same configuration...

Hi everyone,

I just uploaded the latest pot file to transifex with all the English typos found fixed since the tests done on RC1 by Akien.

It is now also possible to skip the hide'n'seek quest at the beginning of the game by speaking to Kalya once Orlinn is gone to hide.
This means a few sentences related to this event have been added.

I'd say we're now in hard string freeze for the coming release, and I'll be unfuzzying the sentences that haven't actually changed since the typo hunt in every languages.

If you have any other fixes to push, now is the time.

Best regards,

Btw, does someone know how I can tell Transifex not to drop the older translations, so we can have suggestions for sentences fixed in English?

I just re-added the Dutch translations for the fixed sentences, and Transifex gave me suggestions containing the older versions of those sentences. So I guess Transifex remembers the old translations already.

Ah, cool.

Thanks a lot WillemS, and sorry for the small work overhead.

Yes that's the way Transifex proceeds.
So if you wish to prevent losing translations when you fix typos that would not impact the translated strings, you should use some sed magic to unfuzzy the fixed strings and push the unfuzzied translations back to Transifex.

Yeah, that's what I did the most possible.

Done it!

(see transifex)

Thanks
I'll push both the nl_NL and the it translations asap.

Oh, I should fix some strings, there are some issues in the new part of the story.

Ok. Have fun in the mountain shrine.

Fixed in master. The bad news is that I'll have to update the pot file again, so there will be up to three sentences to re-translate afterwards.
The good news is that we have a nice Dutch translation for the game now.

The village center script is the nastiest piece I have ever wrote.
Georges dialogue wasn't updated unless you left the village center and went back to it. It should be fixed in master.
I should have seen that one, eh. Sorry.

Best regards,

I found already translated string 'Yea... Yes, here it is.' as 'Unfortunately... Yes, there is one...'
To translators: please, check a string 'Yea... Yes, here it is.'

For me, those strings are different:
