botmtl@gmail.com Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This has been bothering me for years, just not enough to report it. When PaintDotNet registers it's capabilities (filtypes it handles) - for the french locale (fr-ca or fr-fr), the following is added to the registry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\paint.net\Capabilities] "ApplicationName"="collaborés" "ApplicationDescription"="collaborés permet de créer et d'éditer des images et photos à l'aide d'un large éventail d'outils, les adaptations et les effets." Collaborés doesn't make sense. First of all it's not the app name but even worse it just make no sense at all. "collaborés" is the past participle of collaborate, literally "collaborated". It's been like this since the very beginning I think. I can't remember a time when there was a way to chose a default app and that paintdotnet didnt have a weird name and description in the default app section.

Zagna Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If you would like, you can create an account at crowdin, tell Rick your username and then improve the french translation. It is currently at only 98%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Yes, that would be my preferred solution Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Also, it's not enough to tell me what's wrong the the translation. I don't know French, so I need to know what the replacement should be.

If you'd rather send the resx, and that I work on that, that's ok too. Username is botmtl. If you want to make the changes yourself, this is good (changed adaptations for ajustements because that's the text used in the menu). Does the english version mentions that paintdotnet allows editing of "pictures and images" or simply images? "ApplicationName"="PaintDotNet""ApplicationDescription"="PaintDotNet permet de créer et d'éditer des images et photos à l'aide d'un large éventail d'outils, d'ajustements et d'effets."
