Anyone in here know German or French?

[PulseDriver]

I plan to make a site in german, english and french, but I don't german and french.

Are there anyone around here that can either of them, and don't mind help me with just a few lines and words?

[Widdykats]

Find The Seer for French!

[papadoc]

You might also ask here

[ShyShy]

Or ask Mrs Mia Wallace. She's pretty busy with Uni, but, I know she would help out when she could.

[PulseDriver]

You can have a peek if ya all wants, maybe you can see the simplicity of it?

http://www.aocore.com/test/index.php?language=english

Now I try to make the language feature first, so don't expect any great looking webpage

Ah, yes Mia..

[Bilbo Baggins]

Why? Why use inferior, dying languages? We all know England and the English rule, so lets use English!

[PulseDriver]

excusez-moi

Actually I will get payed when this site is done... don't know if I will take the money cause it's a human organization for childens... I think I'll make the site for free and get payed for the upkeep only

Also here is the language file how I built it to now.

http://www.aocore.com/test/languages.xml

Think I am going to split them into each language instead so others can write other languages in just one file, and then it's only to add the file and a link to the language.

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

I can try to help you with the German, I'm not too great with the French anymore ever since I moved away from the francophone area but I can still spot some mistakes.

I can do some German translation for you although right now I'm doing professional translations the other way round for an insurance as a part time job which is keeping me even more busy than my 38 hour schedule from Uni itself (I didn't even have the time to write Bilbo all the emails he deserves - that's how bad it is! )

But just PM me since in a couple of week I most likely have more time again and I'll see how I can help you out!

Mia

[PulseDriver]

Thanks Mia It will only be a page so I have something to show to the dude I am making this site for

[gaekwad2]

I could also do the German translation if Mia's too busy.

[PulseDriver]

Wow, that's nice. Could you translate the current XML as it is now? Only a few words..

http://www.aocore.com/test/languages.xml

It's going to be more when I get ahold of the information which I shall put into this site, but for now, I am just going to show what I can, so this will be the only page, only more style (both CSS and Tables/bgcolor/font tags and so on.

And for those who want the source of how I did the language thing, you're free to use it

http://www.aocore.com/wa5/index.txt

[jerimiah40]

try Free Translations.com The translations are about 75% accurate, but if you pay, you can get ones that are 100% accurate

[gaekwad2]

I don't think there's a proper German translation of website, everybody uses the English term.

The free ones smell babelfishy.

[PulseDriver]

Um.. this document lost some information in the upload... and I might belive that this have to do that it's an UTF-8 document.. could you post the source instead.. in a post? Just for the german part?

And no worries bout the German and website, I think you're right about that they use website alot.

NM... i didn't think of using UTF-8 when it came to foreign characters

I need to find a way to translate the escaped characters then.

[gaekwad2]

Heh, my bad.
I was too used to working with a certain non unicode program that barfs on non english characters in xml.

Here's the proper version

code:
      <site_name>NAME DER WEBSITE</site_name>

      <home_loc>Startseite</home_loc>

      <menu_language>Sprache</menu_language>

      <menu_item1>Menüpunkt 1</menu_item1>

      <menu_item2>Menüpunkt 2</menu_item2>

      <menu_item3>Menüpunkt 3</menu_item3>

      <menu_item4>Menüpunkt 4</menu_item4>

      <menu_choice1>Menüauswahl 1</menu_choice1>

      <menu_choice2>Menüauswahl 2</menu_choice2>

      <menu_choice3>Menüauswahl 3</menu_choice3>

      <menu_choice4>Menüauswahl 4</menu_choice4>

      <menu_choice5>Menüauswahl 5</menu_choice5>

Thanks again

What you talking about man?
The US is the real english language; and a variant off what they say on the TV show Iron Chef "Our language will rein supreme!"

[hgnis]

Vie might be the one to talk to for French.

[Widdykats]

Vie? Our Vie?



*ya just never know>>>>

[PulseDriver]

I have now made the whole site into an example containing my first skin, and that might not be so very exciting to translate, but tell me if there are anyone in here to translate it for me.. most of the content of the site I am going to show to the one I am making this site for, is in there now, but it would be nice with the language feature when I show it off as well.

I am working on this site all the time, but if you want to have a look at it now, the URL is still:

http://www.aocore.com/test/index.php?language=english

NOTE: If you get an error or the site looks like crap, it's probably something I am working on, so just try again a little later.

Hope there is someone that could help me with french or german or both ^^

[PulseDriver]

Here is the english version of the file I want help for in German and French. Norwegain is my own language, so I'll translate that myself, and I also got a tell about using Dutch, maybe you can help me with that as well

Anyways, sorry fort he dualpost but I can't edit the attachment into the old post.

WTF.... the browser picked the wrong file...

Ah well, I am certainly not going to triple-post so here is the URL instead:

http://www.aocore.com/test/languages/english.xml

[AG]

I know Spanish and Russian.
I can help you if you have planing to make a site in multilanguage developments.

And if you need DNS Hosting for your web site I can help you too.

[siebe83]

I'm willing to help you with the Dutch translation. I must add though that I don't like Dutch texts on technical subjects myself. A lot of terms and words are not 'translatable' since Dutch has no real words for them. The text will only be harder to read. And if you translate them, it often looks weird. I wouldn't know how to translate 'frame', 'script', 'gain', etc. without making the translation very inscrutable. Everyone who knows these conceptions will know the English words for them and will understand an English text on such a topic. Besides, Dutch people are quite accustomed to reading English text in general.
Also, do realize that when you have a lot of translations, you will also depend on a lot of 3rd-parties when you want to update your site. Or you will end up with different versions (eg. English/Norwegian updated, Dutch/French not).

[PulseDriver]

Yes about the updates, I need hep from someone and I will eventually when this site is done, cause it's not going to be my site, it's going to be a site about children (don't remember the name of the organisation, I just got the scratch of it after work on friday, so I am just making a sketch to show off.

Parts that isn't translated will be shown in english, and there will also be a note where it sais that the article isn't available in a translated version (yet).

I don't need webhosting, nor DNS hosting. This site will be under norwegian domain (.no) at first.

[siebe83]

Ok, I think I misunderstood you. This is just a test to show what's possible and what you can achieve...?

Well, if you decide/want to add a Dutch translation, let me know and I'll see what I can make out of it
(no promises, it really isn't an easy text to translate, but I'll try if you want)

[gaekwad2]

Already started.

<p>I have made the volumeknob stay at the position it was before the
mute-button was pressed. This is the position will return when it's
unmuted again.

This part is a bit confusing:
Does the knob stay at its position or return when unmuted?

(Maybe we should discuss text details via pm, this must be extremely interesting for others.)

[PulseDriver]

Hehe, it will stay at it's physical posistion like on a real reciver. When you press mute on a real reciver, it don't make the volumeknob roate down to it's 0 position.

Why does it write volumeknow instead of volumeknob? It did that to your post as well as mine, Geakwad2, and I noticed that you fixed it.

[gaekwad2]

I copy/pasted it from your page (saved earlier), not the xml. Then I noticed you'd fixed it in the xml.

[PulseDriver]

I translated the german part by freetranslations.com, but did it translate corret is my question, or it's not even a question. I am sure it did translate wrong some places.

Could anyone tell me if it's very bad or not?

http://www.aocore.com/test/index.php?language=german

Would be happy if someone took the time

[gaekwad2]

A few things are quite funny (like 'Häute' for 'skins').

edit: actually the whole thing is funny as hell, like engrish

Here's what I've got so far.

[Pimousse38]

hello,

i'm a french user and skinner of winamp.
but my english and german are poor :-(

[PulseDriver]

Funky Geakwad

[PulseDriver]

Here is the URL:

[Pimousse38]

hello,

here the corrected French version

[ZOZO38]

[gaekwad2]

I think now it's ready.

I tried to guess the best translations for the technical terms but couldn't come up with anything for drawer that didn't sound stupid, maybe someone else has an idea.

[PulseDriver]

Pimousse and Geakwad.. thank you very much
