  • [backintime] Translation request - Text about attracting users as trans

    From c.buhtz@posteo.jp@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 30 23:40:02 2023
    Hello,
    I'm upstream maintainer of "backintime". To approach my users as
    translators I have a dialog that pops up after the first 10 starts of
    the application and informs about the translation platform (Weblate)
    etc. Like a donation banner on Wikipedia.
    So my intention is to get the text used in that dialog translated into
    all languages (46 currently) languages of my application. I don't know
    many languages does this mailing list contain.

    The original text and all current available translations are accessible
    and editable (without having an account!) on the translation platform <https://translate.codeberg.org/translate/backintime/common/fo/?checksum=0d2c8ba7eb3bcafb>

    Beside that I do provide the original source text here. Please do not
    translate "Back In Time" as the application name and keep the
    placeholder variables and keep the newlines between paragraphs.
    Thanks in advance.


    Hello

    You have used Back In Time in the {language} language a few times by
    now.

    The translation of your installed version of Back In Time into
    {language} is {perc} complete. Regardless of your level of technical
    expertise, you can contribute to the translation and thus Back In Time
    itself.

    Please visit the {translation_platform_url} if you wish to contribute.
    For further assistance and questions, please visit the {back_in_time_project_website}.

    We apologize for the interruption, and this message will not be shown
    again. This dialog is available at any time via the help menu.

    Your Back In Time Team.

    Hello,
    I just want to give a short update on that request and experiment.

    The text is translated in some languages. The current state can be seen
    here:

    <https://translate.codeberg.org/search/backintime/common/?q=hello>

    Feel free to take a look and review existing translations of that text.
    And feel also free to add new languages.

    Languages that are still missing:
    Bulgarian
    Czech
    Esperanto
    Estonian
    Basque
    Persian
    Finnish
    Faroese
    French
    Galician
    Croatian
    Hungarian
    Icelandic
    Bokmål (Norwegian)
    Dutch
    Romanian
    Slovenian
    Serbian
    Thai
    Vietnamese
    Traditional Chinese

    We plan to release a new version of the application in the next days. So
    the rolling release distros will pick it up via there update channels
    (based on Debian unstable and Arch). I'll let you know how the users do
    react to such an "please translate" dialog. I'll hope the translations
    will increase from that point on.

    Kind
    Christian
