Translations for nPVR and GBPVR

[sub]

How about the right click menu (when watching media) and the Settings dialog, is it possible to translate them?

No, not at this stage. I've only added support for translating the main UI.

I could probably make the context menu and settings screen translateable in a future release though.

And what about changing values, like pre and post padding, showing "1 minute" and "x minutes". There are strings in MixMan's TL file, but those don't work any more the way they are. (plain "minute" and "minutes" strings). I took a wild guess and tried "% minute" and "% minutes", but as expected they didn't work out. What is the reference for variables?

Usually for this type of thing I try pre-translating the translateable parts of the string. ie, I'd explicitly ask for the translation of "minute" and "minutes" prior to building up the string that displays as "x minutes".

That said, I only use english myself, so its not always clear if there are certain places in the UI where I've forgotten to do this. If you find specific fields that dont do this but should, then let me know and I'll fix them.

So far I met two of these.
The 'minute'/'minutes' strings when you initiate a recording (Pre-Padding/Post-Padding).
The 'min' string everywhere where program duration appears (ie: double click on a program in the guide, or in the Recordings section)

The weather plugin also have these problems, but I guess that's not your table.

Other than that, I'd like to point out another issue. At he moment, the same string ('Cancel') is used to stop a recording and giving negative response in context menus. Could you consider changing 'Cancel' to 'Abort' at recording? (From the translation viewpoint, it would be way better and might fits better in English, too.)

Are you running 2.1.4? Both of these examples you give are translatable in 2.1.4. ie "min", "minute" and "minutes"

Yeah, you'd need to talk to the plugin author about this one.

I'll consider it, but its unlikely. I can understand the reason you want this, but I'm used to it the way it is.

Yes, my version is current. I must be doing something the wrong way. I tried all possible combinations of leading and trailing spaces, but none of these helped:

Code:

<Translation original="minute" translated="perc"/>
<Translation original="minutes" translated="perc"/>
<Translation original="minutes " translated="perc "/>
<Translation original=" minutes" translated=" perc"/>
<Translation original=" minutes " translated=" perc "/>

It only works like this:

Code:

<Translation original="2 minutes" translated="2 perc"/>
<Translation original="3 minutes" translated="3 perc"/>

...and so on.

What do I do wrong or have I forgotten about?

Can you see if this patch fixes it?

Can you see if this patch fixes it?

Yes, it does!! And also fixed most issues in the Weather plugin - thank you.

Let me grab this occasion to post another TL related request.

On the main screen there are time and date information on the top right corner. Would it be possible to display those in the 'local' order? It's not crucial, but would look nicer when your eyes expect the local order for the local language (We use reverse order, like, for example many Asian countries - from bigger quantities to smaller ones: year, month, day)

Hi,

I may have found a line that is put together before checking for available string translations. Here's the extract from translation.txt:

Code:

<Translation original="Unable to locate capture filter: WinFast PxDTV2300 H BDA Analog Capture (#1)" translated="Unable to locate capture filter: WinFast PxDTV2300 H BDA Analog Capture (#1)"/>

Sorry, error messages like that are probably always going to be english. They're generated in lower level code that doesnt have visibility of the UI translation functionality.

I see.

Here's another, copypasted exactly as it is in translations.txt:

Code:

<Translation original="***Recording service not running at recording time

Top Gear (angol autós magazin, V./43. rész)" translated="***Recording service not running at recording time

Top Gear (angol autós magazin, V./43. rész)"/>

Top Gear (angol autós magazin, V./43. rész)" translated="***Recording service not running at recording time

Top Gear (angol autós magazin, V./43. rész)"/>

The error part of this is translateable in the next release. ie "Recording service not running at recording time"
