#518 Wrong German translations in the recover dialog

[Stefan Willinger]

The "Recover Dialog" contains some wrong German translations. These translation errors are dangerous, because they tell the user, that some files are not going to be overridden, although they will.

Now, the English word "override" means "überschreiben".
The used German word "überspringen" means "do not override" in this context.

So, the German translation tells the user the totally contrary of what will bee happen with his files.

recover.alwaysoverride.label
en - Always override existing files
wrong de - Vorhandene Dateien immer \u00fcberspringen
should be - Vorhandene Dateien immer \u00fcberschreiben

recover.neveroverride.label
en - Never override existing files
wrong de - Vorhandene Dateien niemals \u00fcberspringen
should be - Vorhandene Dateien niemals \u00fcberschreiben

recover.askoverride.label
en - Ask before overriding existing files
wrong de - recover.askoverride.label = Nachfragen ob vorhandene Dateien \u00fcbersprungen werden sollen
should be - Nachfragen ob vorhandene Dateien \u00fcberschrieben werden sollen

recover.overwriteifnewer.label
en - Override existing files only if the recovered file is newer (based on last modification date and time)
wrong de - Existierende Dateien nur \u00fcberspringen, wenn die wiederhergestellten Dateien neuer sind (verwendet Datum des letzten Dateizugriffs)
should be - Existierende Dateien nur \u00fcberschreiben, wenn die wiederhergestellten Dateien neuer sind (verwendet Datum des letzten Dateizugriffs)

recover.existingfiles.label
en - This directory is not empty; existing files may be overriden during recovery
wrong de - Dieser Ordner ist nicht leer. Bereits existierende Dateien werden \u00fcbersprungen
should be - Dieser Ordner ist nicht leer. Bereits existierende Dateien werden \u00fcberschrieben

Hello!

I'm new with Areca, but I dont fully agree with the (corrected) translation.

The noun of OVERRIDE has a different meaning than the verb means.

So my suggestion: Keep it simple! :-)

• If some file (content) is to be replaced by other, let's talk of OVERWRITE.
• If (existing) files should be "ignored" (= not overwrite), "SKIP existing files" is the clearer wording.

What is your opinion on my proposal?
