Re: [Audacity-translation] Status-report from the hungarian translation

[Cleber T. <fot...@cl...>]

Hi M=E1rton!

Hello from Brazil,

In the brazilian portuguese version we've had the same problem: things li=
ke
"snap-to" which have only 7 positions in english are translated like
"antecipa=E7ao em", which is much longer.

You will have to test the translated strings, because sometimes you can
place a long string in place of a short english one, and there are spaces
(notably the status bar and menus) that you will have to do something to
make it shorter. (Like I did in the "snap-to off" case, that is translate=
d
in the status bar as "Antec. Desl.")

That's it, in Brazil we use "working like a camel" :)

Hugs,
Cleber.

  Greets to the entire translation-team!

  I'm M=E1rton Bal=E1zs, who is currently "working like a dog" (copyright=

John Lennon) on Audacity's hungarian translation. At this moment, I've
done about 20%. But the hardest part is still back.
  I need to face the fact, that hungarian is a very long language. I
mean, if an english sentence contains 10 words, this sentence can only
understandable to a hungarian, if we use 15 words... Well, not always,
but most of the time. I want to be exact, but not complicated.
  I'll be back soon with a few technical questions to the developer
team.

  I wish a good work to everyone:
