Depends on your language. The English base doesn't use quotes at all, though, so if your language permits it I would leave them out.Olinad wrote:

I dont quite think you understood, O mastah. mateusz's post was about checking as in copying the stuff somewhere into osu! config~BagnoGamer wrote:

Well, they both translate to the same in English. It's just that both of them are written different.mattyu007 wrote:

You either updated your post after I replied, or i missed the image because of your STUPID signature (which I took the liberty of removing). The seems like a typo; the full stop should not be there in that case.Galkan92 wrote:
Yay, it's opened again! Thanks peppy! But my question: What's with dots? Add them or not?
Like here, for example. Only at spectator list showing option is a dot, but at the other options, there is not.
Don't tell me my xf miniprofile distracted you so much that you did not notice the image.peppy wrote:

Notice: Take this just as a suggestion, but I would like to add to every translated "Select Language" string the message in English in order you can revert the changes but you don't know really well the language (this would work specially with non-latin languages):
Example in Spanish: "Seleccionar Idioma (Select Language):"
I actually did it on all languages, but if you disagree you can vote down or post here so I can rollback this.

It was a suggestion, not a must-do thing.Wait, wait, Korean Game Rating Board censors and rates every games sevices in Korea,(Yeah, that's law, what a foolish law.)

Should we add Korean as well? They're among the largest and the most active user groups around here.
That's really reasonable handling. At this point there are not that much Korean playing osu relatively to other online games, so they simply don't know this. (Online games are really popular in Korea.)peppy wrote:
If it gets to that point I can easily remove the translation, or bundle it separately.
I just want to point out that it's a total overkill and nobody sane would use that, especially in languages which have declination and stuff - for example, in Polish you would have to translate every word seven times (different forms), and then pay attention which one you are using.pokedigi wrote:
1 Some words has its own special translation. How to deal with them? If the system is for the small-group topic translation, why not to have a special words translate? It is separated from other translation and once they're changed, all the thing with the words will follow them. Like "Slider", "Filter" or something like that. Just let them be the special words and add something like <slider> <fliter> in the translation.
That would be work for some languages. Chinese characters are ideogram so it might not be affected by that. (Unfortunatly I don't know much about that, anybody can confirm?)Matma Rex wrote:

Users vote on the translation they feel is the most accurate, once it reaches 3 green votes it becomes accepted and at that point it's probably close enough. If a user feels it's wrong even after it's been accepted they can mark it as wrong and then revise it to something better.Leeg wrote:
I finished correcting it (spanish) :/
now, who decides which translation is better? users?
And what happens if users don't vote? D: anybody looks at it?Feno wrote:

I doubt it has to be 100% perfect, just good enough not to cause confusion.
Could they knock-knock peppy to remove Korean translation? It sounds VERY weird.lepidopodus wrote:

Am I serious? Of course, they censors every games, even flash games, indie games, fan-made games, non-profit games, everything. They even tried to intervene steam to force censorships. (Though it seems they are cancel or postphone to do that, what a relief.)
If users don't vote, they are either too lazy to do the checks or they don't know if it's correct form (should be revised or not)Leeg wrote:

They already done that (not exatly knock-knock) to some (One good example is webgame named Tribal Wars, which was blocked to access from Korea cause they didn't recieved any censorships in that time. Soon it get rated (this costs a lot) and open an official game service in Korea.) and tried to do that to valve's steam. (Exactly what you said, that foolish board wanted to force to remove Korean translation from the site and the program.)Galkan92 wrote:

Mark as wrong - revise - discuss this with your community.Leeg wrote:

Also lots of passive mode are used in English, but not in Spanish, but people feels it's ok, when it does not sound as spanish...
Yeah, if you're sure it's wrong then mark it as wrong, don't ignore it.Galkan92 wrote:
