Reporting Localisation Issues in Windows Publisher Beta #384 (#376 #371)


Recommended Posts

German .384

Xor sounds weird. Should be "Überlappung ausschließen" or "Überlappung entfernen". Same for English, other languages not checked.

@Joachim_L Xor (the mathematical function name for "Exclusive OR" ) is the name for this in all languages now.

Exclusive OR sounds not appealing or self-explanatory in my ears. But I can live with that. ;)

The help file is still out for translation (sorry) but this thread can be used to report anything you see in the software.

As the help files are now close to completion I start to add some more findings to the german version.

I'll start with a lame one:

"Die wichtigsten Features > Designhilfen > Fantastischer Zoombereich". Instead of 'fantastic' it would perhaps be better to name the range in actual numbers like '1% to 1000%' to make it a little more technical precise. 'Fantastic' sounds a little 'trumpish'.

Same topic:

"Die wichtigsten Features > Designhilfen > Konfigurationsoptionen für die Magnetische Ausrichtung". Better: 'magnetische Ausrichtung'.

"Personas > Info: Personas". The first highlighted box (pencil icon) is not translated:

'The Designer Persona and Photo Persona come directly from Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, respectively. As such you need to have one or both apps purchased and installed to take advantage of that Persona. The options are unavailable otherwise.'

Further down the page:
'Find out more in the AffinityLink to Designer Persona topic.' ist not translated.

Further down the page:
'Find out more in the AffinityLink to Photo Persona topic.' ist not translated.

Further down the page:
'SIEHE AUCH:
AffinityLink to Designer Persona    <<  'to' is not translated
AffinityLink to Photo Persona'    <<  'to' is not translated

"Personas > Designer Persona" and "Personas > Photo Persona". Both lack the complete translation to german.

"SIEHE AUCH:" Links below the same as in my post above.

"Erste Schritte > Speichern": The first paragraph has an english leftover:

'Wenn Sie Ihr Dokument speichern, bleiben alle Projektinformationen erhalten, sodass Sie das Dokument jederzeit auch später noch bearbeiten können. The publication is saved as a single file with the extension .afpub.'

"Erste Schritte > Ändern der Zoomstufe": there are some Mac keyboard shortcuts but the Windows modifier keys are missing:

Further down it seems the Mac keyboard modifier keys are missing:

Whew, that was only three out of 21 sections in the help file. I'll call it a day for now.
Cheers,

In the Spanish version, there is a line left untranslated in Preferences > General. This would be an option:

Documents open in a new floating window > Abrir documentos en ventana flotante

All languages?

E.g. "Auswahl beim Ziehen ausblenden" (German) or "Hide Selection While Dragging" (English) is the wrong popup description in my opinion. When this feature is activated and I drag a box, not the selection = the box is hidden, but the handles / outline of it.

Well, while the missing parts are translated now some things hasn't change in 1.7.1 :(

Ther are still the Mac modifier keys, the inconsistent syntax (Strg+ 2, Strg +3 etc, but Strg0, Strg1), Missing space characters (Strg+ vs. Strg +) and the broken keyboard shortcuts (Strg + > and Strg + < etc)

(Shouldn't this thread be pined? It would help people post in there instead of creating new threads)

French errors:

Épaisseur de police: Graisse
(no need for "de police")

Largeur de police: Chasse
(no need for "de police")

Remplissage du texte: Couleur de texte
(unless at some point we can add textures or patterns, but for now it's only colours)

Tons clairs (???? light tones!): Couleur de fond (or) Surlignage

Typographic vocabulary is very specific and precise, it would be simpler to stick to QXP or ID translations to avoid errors.

 

Another main error is the automatic use/replacement of straight quotes and apostrophes by single chevrons:
