Subject: Language-file are in need for a bit of <3

Hey all out there.

Let's talk about 'language-files'…

Unfortunately we have currently only an up-to-date lang-file for English (master-file) as well as German. All other lang-files are outdated and this is pretty bad in term of release builds.

So what do we need? Your help!

You are able to check on of the lang-files?, so get started.
It's very very easy. Open the eng-lang-file and the one you are able to check and compare these two files side-by-side. Empty lines are missing translations and the other once should also be checked. ¡There ARE! differences for sure! (Yay lately I fixed and corrected the English file…)

We all hope for your support towards maxR to be able to release a 0.2.9 — this year Grinning

HINT: all not updated lang-files will be dropped from release build towards development (or be deleted complete depending how much is missing).

Cheers Nonsinn

We have the following unfinished translations:
  • Spanish
  • Slovenian
  • Russian
  • Hungarian
  • French
  • Catalan

But of course every other new translation is also very welcome!

In the existing translation files, all lines which need an update, are already marked with a TODO comment. So it should be very easy to update the files. For lines, where the translated string is missing, there is a "TODO: translation needed" comment. For lines where the English string has changed since the last update of the language file, there is a comment "TODO: review needed".

If you haven't GIT access, the easiest way, to work on the language files is:
  1. Get the nightly build from here: https://www.maxr.org/docs.php?id=41
  2. Update the files in the languages folder
  3. Send the modified files per mail, attach them on the bugtracker or post it as an attachment in this topic...
But you may also ask for GIT access, if you want to volunteer for becoming a regular translation maintainer Wink

@ness: We have no actual schedule, since we are suffering from a lack of man power. But we try to get the release ready as soon as possible. This can be weeks, or month. But definitely this year Grinning

Thanks for your help! Happy
