  • Christopher Litsinger

    geek.menu has a number of elements not included in the PortableApps.com menu that require localization.  Thanks to Marko, German interface elements and documentation are taken care of.

    If anyone is willing to assist with other languages (UI elements and/or documentation), this would be very helpful.

      I would like to assist with translation to Norwegian.I have made a (part)translation for my own use - but i cannot seem to find all the text in the locale-file. (And I see that parts of the application is still in English when I choose French or German.)

      Full localization (with the exception of the "Advanced Options" dialog) is coming very soon (and is the reason for this request).  With the following US template, all parts of the UI with the exception of that dialog should be translated:

        Christopher,

        I can do a Dutch (NL) translation.

        I do, however, have a question.
        I noticed that in the german-de.locale there were some items that are not in the english-us.locale.

        They are:
        MENU_OPTIONS_LANGUAGE=
        and
        MENU_OPTIONS_HIDE_APPS=

        I did not check the other locale files for more differences, but I was just wondering where I can find an up-to-date english-us.locale that contains ALL possible strings to be translated.

        Should the german-de.locale be the most complete, I will use that one to make a Dutch translation.

        Just let me know.

        Kind regards,
        Bert

      I have already done an italian language pack for geek menu.
      Look at this topic

      I have noticed, some new strings, i'll update very soon

       
    • Christopher Litsinger

      when you've added a translation and I'll include it with the next update- locale adds will be a pretty quick turnaround.

      Ok, so this is the updated italian file for the latest template file above

      Hmm. I have made a Norwegian translation - but not all lines translate. (I see that parts of the Italian do not work, either.) Anything you can do?

      Example: I have
      "MENU_OPTIONS_ADVANCED_OPTIONS=Avanserte innstillinger"
      - but Advanced options still show up like "Advanced options"

       
    • Hasle

      Hasle - 2008-03-05

      Aah! Suddenly I found the latest update (1.2.5.0) - and NOW the advanced options show up like "Avanserte innstillinger". Thanks! (Is there somewhere I can put it? Er det NOEN som vil ha en norsk oversettelse?)
