Mistake in Dutch translation

    Slashtiger - 2020-12-11

    Just wanted to point out a quite significant mistake in the Dutch translation of Jamulus. It's mostly apparent on Windows, because of the way ASIO4All works. If a Windows user goes to Settings, there'll be a Device selection, and an Input and Output Channel selection.

    Input channel mapping is correctly translated as Invoerkanaal mapping.

    But, for some strange reason, Output channel mapping is translated as Uitvoerkanaal in kaart brengen, which is utterly wrong. I would most certainly like to see this corrected, even though I run most of my systems in English. It just pains me to see this mistake on systems which I cannot run in English...

    I fail to see how any translator would fail to see an inconsistency like this. Just goes to show how important proofreading actually is, even for software translation.

        Hi,

        Could you do this on my behalf?

        You can use the text below as a guide:

        Describe the bug
        There's a quite significant mistake in the Dutch translation of Jamulus.
        It's mostly apparent on Windows, because of the way ASIO4All works. If a
        Windows user goes to Settings, there'll be a Device selection, and an Input
        and Output Channel selection.

        Input channel mapping is correctly translated as Invoerkanaal mapping.

        Output channel mapping is translated as Uitvoerkanaal in kaart brengen,
        which is wrong.

        It should have been translated as: Uitvoerkanaal mapping

        To Reproduce
        Steps to reproduce the behavior:

        1. Set Jamulus up to work in the Dutch language on a Windows machine using
          the ASIO4All driver (to ease reproduction; the mistake is likely there on
          all platforms).
        2. Click on Instellingen (Settings)’
        3. See error

        Expected behavior
        Output channel mapping should be translated as Uitvoerkanaal in kaart
        brengen

        Screenshots
        If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

        Desktop (please complete the following information):

        • OS: Windows, MacOS, Linux (GUI)
        • Version: 3.6.1

        Unfortunately, I cannot provide screenshots of the bug, as it doesn’t occur
        on my personal configuration (MacOS with standard sound chip; no
        multichannel capabilities). The bug is easy to reproduce on Windows by
        using the steps I described.

        Regards,

        Coen

        PS > The link you sent me points me to forms for filing various issues with
        the Jamulus website, whereas this is an issue with the software itself.

          OK sure I'll put that in the Jamulus software issues.
