Re: [14966] Translation and GoBD issues
by
OpenBig, Thorsten Vocks
Hello,
"Change" with "Wechselgeld"
... good example. I guess it was automatically matched
with other translated terms from module "account" or
module "mail", where the translation may fit.
The one you mentioned is in "website_portal" and
it was corrected in August 2016 for V9. To my opinion Odoo
should allow to report such serious translation issues
as bugs under a specific category to force quick correction.
For acceptance as a bug the bug report should point to
the term in transifex.
Your example is also good as it shows clearly the
limitation of transifex from the Odoo point of view.
You have to know where to find the term.
There is no possibility to search for a term in the project,
f.e. in Odoo v9, or did i miss something ?
Secondly: The review process must be massively improved.
I agree. It is time intense to review, in addition to creative, non
consistent or out of context translations it is not seldom simply
false or clumsy german if we talk about full sentences in
reports, email templates or help text. It could be discussed
if there is a chance to priorise the terms to translate.
I mean "back to the roots" by removing or separating
contextual help, wizards, tours and other time intense
terms to translate and review. I have no idea if that's possible
to separate but it could help to focus at first on menus,
field names in forms and reports. Voluntary community
translators could focus on essential work. All other less important
stuff should be moved into the enterprise edition as enterprise
features, or apps in the store. For sure also more qualified
resources are required.
As Odoo most probably will go ahead with Transifex, we should adapt our procedures accordingly.
Yes, but it is worth to discuss about improvements.
Transifex is far away from being the perfect tool for us and i can
imagine OCA and / or Odoo developers could work
on improved tools and better processes (bug tracker, inside Odoo translations,
"own" platform for sharing and colloboration).
Best regards and for sure thanks for your collaborations on german
translations.

The problem is that it would be a lot easier if one could translate right in the backend an push the translation to the platform underneath. > I'd prefer to have a flavor such as missing sz than translating the > term "Change" with "Wechselgeld" on the website contact page. 100% Agree > The comment feature should be used by reviewers to give feedback to > translators (for example why a translation does not get a positive > review). > > Just my 2 rapps from the alps :-) i am fully in line with you.
