Maybe we should have a look on this : https://translations.launchpad.net/  for our diffrent translations.

just my 2/100 €.

When it comes to translation efforts, I'll say what I've said before. The first, most important step of a translation project doesn't require the Diaspora team at all. It's something the fans can do all on their own. Get strings.tbl converted into your language of choice and then I'll know you're serious.

I've said that several times in the past and I've yet to see anyone do more than a half-hearted attempt. You can find the last attempt here.

[odo2063]

its just a suggestion.

sorry for my incontinence, eh, inconvenience.

[karajorma]

It's a good suggestion actually. I just don't think the team need to be involved. The file that is needed is freely available so there's no reason people can't get started now.

[Deckard]

AFAIK, localizations fulfilled by teams of 3 per language tend to move forward quite well

Charge! Google Translater!!!

[Skullar]

What do you want to translate ? Into which language ?

[portej05]

Watch out folks, there's no unicode support in the engine. Which means you're limited to a-zA-Z (IIRC).

It's so funny to read that after yesterday's translation spree...

Seriously, no one said that the miniproject died. IM programs and PMs are enough to manage its progress - there's no need to use the forums.

[Deckard]

From 2 to 3 bilingual translators per target language should be the way, IMO.

As I've said, that's all I've seen. If there is stuff going on under the surface that's great but if no one bothers to post the slightest bit of evidence how is anyone to know that?

I agree.

Me and 134th have been proposing alternate versions of each other's edits in a reasonable way. If I was the only translator, the result wouldn't be as good as it is now. Translating strings isn't enough - the translation also needs to transmit the original FreeSpace feeling (not to mention the changes led by space constraints, Italian words are usually longer than their English counterparts).

As I've said, that's all I've seen. If there is stuff going on under the surface that's great but if no one bothers to post the slightest bit of evidence how is anyone to know that?

I don't have to show anything to anyone. You don't see me posting updates/pictures on any of the following: Celebration of FreeSpace thread, Inferno board and NTV board. I do have stuff to show, but I'm not a big fan of pre-release mystery threads, teasers, trailers, etc. etc. I don't know if my modus operandi is correct (I have doubts), but that's how I behave.

That's why you won't see anything until me and 134th are done. 

[karajorma]

Fair enough but until someone proves that they have done something I'm going on the assumption that no one has. And I'm most certainly not basing any decisions on what translations we'll have based on that kind of non-information.

[Mobius]

No doubt about that...

[Richard]

I'm starting french translations...
Not easy but... =) No probs

[Richard]

I've done the translation of string.tbl
The file is attach here.

[karajorma]

Nice work Richard. I'll pass this on the the various other mods who can also use it (Diaspora isn't the only group who can benefit from this translation) but we'll definitely be using it.

I'll contact you when we have a final script for translation into French.

[Richard]

No probs,
When Diaspora will be release I'll be more able to see if there are mistakes (or imperfections).
I'm sure this translation can be better.
pleased to helped you.
Don't hesitate if you need other help.

Uh... so... I cant translate it into something like... Chinese?

[Thaeris]

Wait... How did Komet do the Japanese Port, then?

...And, off-topic, how's the integration of the Japanese Port's features into FSO going?
