Examples of punctuation inconsistencies? Consider where they are actually used in-game.

Probably some dirt on my screen when I was looking at something. I thought there were more.
Some of the buttons above the score board are title case ("Next Page") whereas others are not ("Switch to local scoreboard"). For the latter example, I think "Switch to" is unnecessary (kinda like "Go to" in "Go to next page," if it were worded that way).
"Hovering a beatmap will change to it after a short delay." -- Isn't it "Hovering [the cursor] over a beatmap..." ?
"Leaving the song list will make it snap back to the active beatmap." -- When I first saw this in-game I thought it meant hitting "back."
/me goes to sleep, hopefully.
Just leaving this here for pure awesome.

I like lippy a lot too.
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 think some translation can be a group? Like Add to Favourites A and Add to Favourites B.In case that two different kind of translation be approved.>_>
Please standardise Chinese into either simplified or traditional - or we can do two separate files, I think that would be better.
Thank you for this system peppy. I have corrected / wronged / revised all dutch strings already to

The highest rated will be used.
And what about comments? They would be useful to discuss shades of meaning, explain mistakes...

korean has already translated a year ago (in casual writing)
Even though, should we translate it for FAQ too?

Could you add all the possible translations for each language, even the tips? That could be useful.
I have a doubt: With some translations, the text get out of bounds (e.g. the selection options menu). Can somebody help me? (I speak spanish as my native language).

The osu! UI is still not really ready for other languages due to bounds problems and such, but considering the nature of the game and limited amount of screen space, it may be hard to ever allow for this to be perfect (unless the size is to be reduced automatically for longer sentences).
I can make Polish translation as one I saw in osu has quite a lot mistakes.
All of them are fixed on pTransl, but somehow not in osu!.mateusz1996 wrote:

When will the new translations be updated? There are new changes of the translations in osu!
(BTW, the system should be updated, too.)

pTransl seems to be warning about deprecated lines. The interface also is dragging me into a corner every time I submit a change.

Right now I would assume he's concentrating on .osz2 or other gameplay-related things, so this is probably further down on the to-do list.
But like he said, just hold out.

Things should be back in working order, with some new text up for translation. More to come this week.
Yay! Now I just gotta find a good translation for "Beatmap"
Topic Starter
Leave it as beatmap. Anyone playing osu! should know what a beatmap is (and if not, they will figure it out pretty damn fast).
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.

Topic Starter
Full stops? If they are in the original text then add them, else don't. Simple enough, right?
peppy, there are actually some issues with Russian translation, especially concerning numbers. For example, in "{0} maps will be deleted", russian translation for "map" will be slightly different when map count is ending with digit 1, digits 2-4 and digits 5-0, and form for "5-0" is also used for numbers ending with 11 to 20, including 11 to 20 themselves. It's not THAT critical, but looks quite... funny when done wrong way.
Also, thanks for fixing registration issues

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:

.Should we add Korean as well? They're among the largest and the most active user groups around here.

Peppy we have to accept only two translations and it's done!
Check everything once again before posting, some accepted translations in our section were... weird <.< Anyway, yes, we're almost done with it.Bass-chan wrote:

no Turkish language 
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.
(P.S.: Now polish is incomplete again. Sorry. )

Yelling is actually quite appropriate. He changed every language without first checking with anyone. I already removed all his translations.
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.
2 There're too many different words between Simplified Chinese and Traditionmal Chinese, especially some words appeared these years. Why not separate them?

Wait, wait, Korean Game Rating Board censors and rates every games sevices in Korea,(Yeah, that's law, what a foolish law.) And as I know the criteria of servicing in Korea or not for international games which can access in Korea is offering Korean translation or not.

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 it gets to that point I can easily remove the translation, or bundle it separately.
I finished correcting it (spanish) :/
now, who decides which translation is better? users?

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:

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:

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:

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.

The point is that everyone does what they can, if they contribute a single correct word in a sentence then that's good, someone else can correct any mistakes that the former person made, and it goes from there until you get a complete correct translation.
Most of the english words does not have a literal translation, like "spectate", as you say @Leeg. But with creativity I'm sure we will find a good word. In my case, I suck at this U_U , but I'm still trying.
Just trust in the community and do your best. If the translations are wrong, mark them wrong and try to correct them. I've seen your work and it's fine (few mistakes, but we're here to correct them).
P.S.: I take the opportunity to say I posted the translations on all languages just to save you the work in case you accepted my suggestion. Sorry, it won't happen again. ^^;

To sum up, people just looks at english version and if it hasn't been translated literally they mark it as WRONG.
LOL-
Not sure what can be done about people clicking wrong when they're not supposed to, that's probably something peppy or someone more experienced will need to solve.
The system seems very open to people being douchebags or people who think they're right when they're actually wrong.

Hey ppy i want to translate the osu strings to Bulgarian language.Where do i get the base file?
Great stuff peppy!
just a suggestion,
please add a "Flemish" language,
there's a flemish person posting numerous flemish stuff under dutch, which has nothing to do with dutch and looks silly.
time to set them free like they have their own country too
(i am joking of course, did a lot of revisions so far, but still...)
