Subject: Re: German translation - msg#00019List: video.tvtime.develAwesome! > There were a few things I didn't know the correct translation for (I > don't think there's a german term for "2-3 pulldown inversion") Try looking at high-end home theatre equipment websites, I am sure there is a term. Looking at www.sony.de, it seems like the term for pulldown is simply 'pulldown', at least when you look at the "Technische Daten" it lists "2-2 Pulldown : Ja" ;) (2-2 pulldown is the equivalent feature for PAL as 2-3 pulldown is for NTSC). > or simply didn't know about (what's SAP or XDS?), but the rest > translated pretty well. SAP and XDS are specific to NTSC so it might be more difficult to determine if these have proper German terms. Again I recommend looking at the technical specs for the most expensive data projector or multi-standard television that you can find. > And then there is a little feature request that's closely related to > the internationalization stuff: My xmltv-grabber (tv_grab_de_tvtoday) > stores both the german and the original title for foreign movies > (<title> vs. <title lang="de">).

I don't know if I will have time to do it (and I would have to fake some data to test with, which might be a pain), but if you want to drop by IRC sometime we could talk about how to do it or work through it.... Some quick comments just looking over your translation: > msgid "Full rate: %.2f fps" > msgstr "Volle Bildfrequenz: %.2f Hz" Is using Hz appropriate for framerate?

However, I'm dropping those features since they were never finished and won't ever be, so it's OK :) > "\n" > "tvtime is Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003 by Billy Biggs, Doug Bell,\n" > "Alexander S.

Would you be willing to update? It should be pretty easy. Thanks again, -Billy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Previous Message by Date: click to view message previewGerman translationHi there, I've created a german translation file for tvtime-0.9.12. There were a few things I didn't know the correct translation for (I don't think there's a german term for "2-3 pulldown inversion") or simply didn't know about (what's SAP or XDS?), but the rest translated pretty well. And then there is a little feature request that's closely related to the internationalization stuff: My xmltv-grabber (tv_grab_de_tvtoday) stores both the german and the original title for foreign movies (<title> vs. <title lang="de">). I'd like tvtime to prefer the language that matches the current locale setting or, even better, show both titles. I'm willing (and probably competent) to write a patch myself, but I won't be at home for about four weeks. So, if nobody else feels motivated to approach that problem I'm gonna send another mail some time next month.

That's easy to translate to "Zweikanalton". I still don't think there's a term for XDS.

"Blende" is, among other things, the mask you put into cinema projectors to cover those parts of the picture that aren't meant to be seen.

The only translation I found is "Überzeichnen", which on the one hand is pretty accurate but on the other hand sounds a bit strange to me because it has several more common meanings: Over-subscribing (a stock value) or using overstatement as a stylistic device. > > "\n" > > "tvtime is Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003 by Billy Biggs, Doug Bell,\n" > > "Alexander S.

It should be pretty easy. Sure, but I will not read my mail between 7/17 and 7/31 and I won't be able to actually test any new translations before 8/8. Hope that's not a problem.
