Localization into French

[Olivier]

This Beta version is almost fully localized (90%) into French. While this is not the final translation yet, I would appreciate feedback on the translation and any suggestions you may have to improve it.

Thanks !

Olivier.

[Bob]

There is a new French Translator?

1st glitch: Modifier -> Edition or Édition.

[Rick Brewster]

This is for the official French translation that is being included in 3.0.

[Olivier]

Thanks for your suggestion Bob; I'll look into it.

Olivier.

[Skro]

Oops, didn't see this subject.

So, to be not completely uselesse, here is my contribution to the "not translated yet" part.

Clouds effect:

Clouds: nuages

Scale: Taille (échelle?)

Roughness: dureté

Blend Mode: mode de fusion

Random Seed: génération aléatoire

Reseed: regénérer

[all the text stuff]: Pour changer les couleurs de l'effet nuage, il vous suffit de régler les couleurs primaire et secondaire dans la fenêtre correspondante (Couleurs)

Hi Skro,

thanks for your input. For the sake of completeness, I'm down with 66 strings left to localize. These strings are:

• ; Paint.NET Palette File\r\n; Lines that start with a semicolon are comments\r\n; Colors are written as 8-digit hexadecimal numbers: aarrggbb\r\n; For example, this would specify green: FF00FF00\r\n; The alpha ('aa') value specifies how transparent a color is. FF is fully opaque, 00 is fully transparent.\r\n; A palette must consist of ninety six (96) colors. If there are less than this, the remaining color\r\n; slots will be set to white (FFFFFFFF). If there are more, then the remaining colors will be ignored.

Hi Skro,

thanks for your input. For the sake of completeness, I'm down with 66 strings left to localize.

I've taken them and I'll see what I can do with it.

I'll get you py PM when I've something consistent to bring you back.

Hi Skro,

thanks for your offer for help. Please don't worry too much about these, as I've started working on them already.

Input we are looking for is of course bug reporting, in terms of functionality, in the product, independant of any language, and then, in regards to languages, whether we have inconsistencies (something called X here, and the same thing called Y there), typos, truncations, duplicate hotkeys (I'm sure I've tons of these , gender mismatch (for instance, I had "couleur/palette principal" at the beginning, because the noun and adjective were different strings, so lack of context), controls overlapping, etc...

Thanks !

Some little things seems still "odd" (french:"bizarre", no offense) to me, I will made a complete report in 2007.

Now it's party time!

[Olivier]

Good morning Bob,

please send me your report when you have a chance, and I'll take a look at it.

Thanks ! And happy new year 2007 to everyone !

Good morning everyone,

we are quickly approaching the final release date (ETA=Feb. the 1st). If you have feedback on the quality of the translations (or the product in general as well), please post it as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Good morning everyone,

Thanks!

Wow!

First of all (and first impression), when you change the language to french, you don't say "tenue en compte", mais "prise en compte" in the dialog box (yes, I use Pdn in english, basically for plugins reasons)

Then, I hadn't anything which burst into my face, except one question: Why in the Color window The Hue/Saturation/intensity is translated NSV while in the Adjusment menu, it is translated Nuanc/Saturation/Intensité (which would be NSI, not NSV)?

Oh I almost forgot: in the Rotate/Zoom dialog box, there is a problem in the "Deplacement X" and "Deplacement Y" libelles: we only read "Déplacem".

That's all I see for the moment. Be back when I find out something else

Regards,

Skro

Quick and Dirty:

Affichage > Grandeur réelle : Taille réelle sounds better.

Remplissage (Paintbrush toolbar) > Pourcentage xx: xx%

Effets > Détection des contours : détection des angles, des cotés, ... so it cannot be confuser with the Contour (Outline) effect.

E > flou Transversal: Flou radial

E > Lumière : Halo

E > Déformation > Torsion : Twist sounds funny

Colors Window > More > N{value slider} : HSV is generaly traducted in TSV (Teinte Saturation Valeur)

See wikipedia : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue_saturation_value

ResamplingAlgorithm.SuperSampling - Superéchantillonage : suréchantillonnage (always wikipedia:http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersampling)

ResizeDialog.ResampleMethod.Bicubic Bi cubique : Bi-cubique or Bicubique

HistoryForm.FastForwardButton.ToolTipText Répéter tout (avance rapide) : I think you can delete (avance rapide), it does not really make sense in French

ZoomConfigWidget.Error.TooSmall Le zoom doit être au moins 1% : Le zoom doit être d'au moins 1%

[Olivier]

Thanks both for your feedback Skro and Bob; much appreciated!

I'll work on it tomorrow, and let you know how did it go.

Thanks again,

[Olivier]

• I don't have any "tenir en compte" in my resources, but only "prendre en compte" (in the palette files, and in the change language dialog indeed); remember to use the latest version of the beta always
  Good catch on HSV: I followed Bob's recommendation and changed "hue" to "teinte" (and the accronym as well, to TSV)
  Truncations: escalated for (may be) a fix in the dialog itself (there are more than 2 in this single dialog)
  Grandeur réelle -> taille réelle : change implemented
  Pourcentage xx - >xx% : change implemented
  Détection des contours changed to détection des bords, so be consistent with Vista terminology
  Lumière changed to éclat, to be consistent with Picture it and Digital Image terminology
  Déformation -> Torsion: I'm keeping this as-is, unless the English terminology changes
  Super échantillonage and bi cubique are one word each now (no more space)
  I'm keeping "avance rapide", given that I have the others there as well (pas à pas)
  au moins changed to d'au moins
  

This is very good feedback and it improves the quality of the product.

Thank you !

[Skro]

I use Pdn 3.0 beta 3 though...

Screenshot to prove it:

Of course, this can be an artefact from an older version, as I used the automatic update...

I've also seen something else in the shortcuts. 'Shift' should be changed to 'Maj' (e.g. for the "Paste into new layer" option, Ctrl+Shift+V => Ctrl+Maj+V).

Not a big issue, but 'Maj' looks more familiar to frenchies

Regards,

Skro

[Olivier]

Hi Skro,

you're right, the latest install still shows up with "tenir en compte", which is unfortunate (I've fixed this on 12/22). Same for shift, there's not a single one left in the French translations on my machine, but the latest drop still has them.

For anyone interested in getting the latest beta French resources to test them before the next drop (next drop is the 19th), please send me an email at olivier_guinart@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

[Bob]

!important

you messed up "move layer up" and "move layer down".

[Olivier]

Good catch Bob. I've just fixed that.

Thanks !

[Olivier]

Hi all,

you probably saw Rick's announcement on upcoming v3.10 version. Below are the new strings (tab separated) and their French translation as of today. Don't hesitate in letting me know if anything is not correct or could be improved.

Thanks !

Latest localized (in French) resources file, working with the beta of Paint.NET 3.20 Alpha 2, can be found here: http://cid-7a77f1a922f9d9dd.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Paint.NET.

To install, copy/paste the above file in your Paint.NET folder, replacing the one installed (backup the one installed before, of course).

A couple of resources might show up unlocalized, but I've only found these during setup.

As always, feedback and comments much appreciated.

Enjoy!

Hi Olivier,

I'm working with PdN 3.30. I have not found translation error but one bug (i'm not sure about it) : Effects menu, there are both Render items ; Render AND Rendu (English AND French).

Plugins problem or translation error?

Thank you for your great job!

[Olivier]

Hello zisworg,

the bitmap you linked doesn't display (and I don't have a login for the hosting web site).

I'm guessing that you might have an extra plug-in installed that might be loading? I've 3.30 still installed on my machine and I don't see two render menu entries, I only have one Rendu entry and it displays 3 sub-menus:

• 
  [*:k17p2xcj]Fractale Julia
  [*:k17p2xcj]Fractale Mandelbrot
  [*:k17p2xcj]Nuages...

What do you have on your side?

Thanks! I'm glad you like the translations!

[zisworg]

Ok, this is the bad Render menu:

And the good Rendu menu:

So, the plugins are:

* Borders N'Shapes: pyrochild v.1.6

* Dither, Lattice and Textile: Ed Harvey Effects v.3.30

BUT Weave is also Ed Harvey Effects V.3.30 :?:

[muntealb]

I can confirm that there are 2 Render submenus (one localized, the other in english) and a Color menu (untranslated). This appears regardless of the language chosen for the interface, with the exception of english (where the Effects menu has a single Render submenu, as it should be). I am using PDN 3.31 on XP SP2. The installation is an upgrade from PDN 3.30.

Later edit: I have unistalled PDN and the reinstalled it. The duplicate menu does not appear anymore and also the Color menu does not appear. It seems that in PDN 3.30 the Ed Harvey effects were included in the installation and they caused the localization problems. In PDN 3.31 they are not installed by default.
