Dandelion Sprout Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've made a 100% completed Norwegian translation of Paint.net (inside the attached ZIP folder), which I'm hoping could be included in the next version of Paint.net, unless you guys think that I need to make any changes to it. In the meantime (before the update in which this translation would be applied), I guess that curious people (presumably Norwegians) can also download the file for manual use.

Zagna Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It would be good for you to create an account at Crowdin so when this gets uploaded there, you can easily update it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Sprout Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I do have an account on Crowdin (DandelionSprout), though I didn't find out that Paint.net could be translated there until after I had finished translating the .resx file. But of course it'd be nice to get to update it casually in the future, so I guess I can be added to the Crowdin project for Paint.net, then.

Rick Brewster Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If you send me the RESX (or just post it here), I can upload it to Crowdin. I'll also need your Crowdin user ID so I can add you to the project. By the way, if no one maintains the translation, then new and updated strings will be handled with Machine Translation.

Dandelion Sprout Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ah, okay. Here's the RESX file (in the attachment). And the Crowdin ID is https://crowdin.com/profile/DandelionSprout. Norwegian translation RESX.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Okay this is looking good on my side, although I'm a little confused ... the ISO language code for the RESX you gave me is using "NB" which is "Norwegian Bokmål". However, "NO" is "Norwegian". Which one of these should I use? Crowdin is currently set to use "NO".

Dandelion Sprout Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 They are for almost all intents and purposes synonymous, since 90% of Norwegians write in the Bokmål literary standard, which is a combination of Old Danish and the greater Oslo dialects. There is a subset of Norwegians, around 10%, and especially on the south-west coast around Bergen, that instead uses the Nynorsk literary standard, which is based on rural farmer dialects. There are therefore some purposes (mostly internal to Norway, though also in the cases of huge programs like VLC, WordPress and Windows) where Bokmål and Nynorsk versions should be differentiated. But since it after all took more than 10 years before Paint.net has got this Bokmål translation at last, and that a Nynorsk translation could very well never be made, it'd be 100% fine to call it simply Norwegian, as is done on e.g. Blu-Ray movie covers. Additionally, if the scenario occurs where someone makes a Nynorsk translation of Paint.net, people would be mostly understanding of Norwegian and Norwegian Nynorsk being two options in the language dropdown menu. So I'll leave the decision to you, as it's virtually just as fine either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ok, thanks! "NO" it is. I'm looking to push out 4.1.1 very soon, so this helps me get that done 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...
