Ok, the translation team is perhaps only me, I don’t know how the progress is for other languages, but the Swedish translation (as of today) is roughly 95% finished. I’m trying to check the new releases and translate the new tags as often as I make time. Normally, a new release include just a handfull of new tags or changes, so doing it often is for the most time quick and easy. However, some feedback to Team Radiant from us (me?) who tries to translate it:
I know @sdee has “promised” me to get rid of this before, but… I can still see text formatting tags within the text. And it is not only the old ones, we got some new in the house building updates. I’m not fond of it at all Examples:
This one is not a big problem (like the mess above ;))…
…but in ~5 other places, it looks like this:
Ok, next up. How to split text in different blocks. This could work well for a language like English. And perhaps for others as well. But when you force us to do like this:
…it might be tricky to translate. Perhaps this one is not a big problem to translate to Swedish (I don’t know for other languages), but if possible, try to avoid it. Since different languages build sentences in different ways than English. It is also done in:
…but should be easy enough for most. If you keep doing this, please keep it as simple as humanly possible.
One last and minor thing (for now): changing text. Of course this is needed, and I check for changes every time I start with a new file, but if possible try to avoid planned text changes. The reason for saying this is:
"plains_1" : "Plains",
"plains_2" : "Plains",
"foothills_1" : "Foothills",
"foothills_2" : "Foothills",
"mountains_1" : "Mountains",
"mountains_2" : "Mountains",
"mountains_3" : "Mountains",
"mountains_4" : "Mountain Peak",
"mountains_5" : "Mountain Peak",
"mountains_6" : "Mountain Peak",
"mountains_7" : "Mountain Peak",
Perhaps you have some other uses of the different types of mountains (like resources hidden within?), but still want the name to be the same? I don’t know. But from a text point of view it feels like these will either disappear or get new names. If you would change the name for “mountains_6” to “Snowy Mountain”, it might be easy to miss.
Ok, that’s all for now. Thank you and have a good day
