Hi Thomas, Thanks Richard, yes, the Metadata Editor strings should be there if you update to the 28 August audacity.pot. Thomas wrote: > Although translated in the language file (AND double-checked for > spelling mistakes), these two first lines in the "Welcome to > Audacity!"-box remains in English: > "Quick Help (should be installed locally, Internet version if it > isn't)" > "Manual (should be installed locally, Internet version if it isn't)" Those strings should be there too in the updated audacity.pot. Arguably there should be a better solution than translating the link text as it is, because the links go to the online released Manual (English only), which is best for the majority of users: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/ . So it would probably be more useful to translate the link text as "(English only)". When any of the translations of the Manual are complete (none are), then probably the translator should link to the translated Manual wherever it is (currently the incomplete translations are at http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ ) . If going to a translated Manual was to work from the Help Menu, this needs coding changes in Audacity I believe. Anyhow, feel free to submit what you have as long as you have updated from the latest audacity.pot. I can get it into 2.0.4 if you send it within about three hours from now. Gale |
