Hi,
I've been assisting with a translation of Therion into Simplified Chinese together with Zhang Yuanhai of the Institute of Karst Geology in Guilin. I've got a few questions about some of the text
[ignoring most of it as I don't know the answers]
therion: \nerror opening therion.log file\n What is '\n' ? Some translations have /n instead - is this a mistake or are they different?
\n is a (C language representation of a) newline character. /n would be wrong SFAIK.
therion: Undo %s What is '%s' ? Is the space before it important?
%s is the C language representation for 'insert string here', so yes the space is importat as it will get converted into "Undo delete point" or somesuch (%s gets replaced by "delete point" in this case)
therion: To set file encoding, type encoding name and press <Change> button I can't find a corresponding text for the Change button. Which is it?
Ah you mean that if "Change" is a button in the UI, then it should be translatable text?
therion: theme basic-symbols therion: theme passage-fills therion: theme speleothems therion: theme equipement How are these used?
And if that's english why is "equipement" spelt Frenchly? Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
