Hi there,

if someone already started to do a German translation of CE, I probably didn't search hard enuff for a thread about it.
However, I'm going to do that now. I think I can do about 200 lines each day, so I'll be finished in a few weeks Wink

German is my mother tongue, (my marks in German class were indeed bad at school but that's just because I sucked at interpretations) and I speak English very well, too. Plus I use CheatEngine since years so I should know what I'm about to translate.
I've already translated other software from English -> German, for example one of the previous Auslogics Disk Defrag translations (which they then destroyed with a fucking bad one).

I use poedit to do everything.

I post in here if I finish the translation (or cancel it and post the done part then).

Greetings,
Pac-Man

Nice, and as far as I know you're the first one working on a german translation (And the first translation that I can actually confirm it's valid instead of believing it in blind faith as I do know a few words of german Smile

)

Great!

I "already" finished 10% after an hour. You'll hear from me soon.

I copied numeric strings today and now have 55% translated together with the other stuff.
Tomorrow I'll copy all the 1xx translation for "OK" and "Close" which will probably give me another 5% Wink

Here's a tip about .PO translations that might help a little.

Lines with # are ignored and lines with no accompanied translation are also ignored

So, this means that if there are 100 lines of OK and Close (all the same case) you only need to change one of them.

It does cause a problem with some stuff (Like the "Delete" key which might have a different term instead of the normal "Delete" for files), but shouldn't bee a too big problem.

Yeah well I'm using Poedit anyways, so I don't have to deal with the text file directly. It lists all the real strings in the left column and the translated ones on the right. Looks like this:

Here's a screenshot of the current progress. Still much stuff missing, like the option window (only the navbar on the left is translated there yet). Sometimes it's hard to find well sounding, but also fitting strings since German words are often longer than the English ones:

You may notice "Werte: 0" in the main window. Actually it would be "Gefunden:" but that's simply too long. And "Fund:" sounds a bit stupid (it's like the result of finding something)... well maybe it's better than "Werte" (= "Values" though Smile

I will go over the GUI when I finished the po-file. For example, it says "Schützen" in the memory viewer where actually "Geschützt" would be correct. The English word I translated could mean both.

Just let me know when you encounter those size problems.
I've already taken care of the "Found : count" text for next version (the number will be placed after the text instead of a fixed position)

Great! I once tried to set up my GUI to use variable sizes everywhere, it was a complete mess afterwards (even with .NET localization features), so I don't ask for fixing the "Beschreibun" string in the "Adresse hinzufügen" window now (a "g" at the end cannot be seen due to the textbox) Wink

I think everyone can understand what is meant with "Beschreibun" though.

Sorry, at the moment I have to pause translation progress, but I will return to it later Wink
