I18N progress 2.0

This ticket introduces a switch of VirtualBox GUI from the Qt Toolkit verison 3 to version 4. In particular, this means the following:

1. The primary translation target is the Qt4 GUI. The current location of NLS files for it is http://virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls/. Note that one day the VirtualBox4 directory will be renamed to just VirtualBox after the current VirtualBox directory is renamed to VirtualBox3. The Qt3 GUI will go away from binary distributions in VirtualBox and stop receive any official support from Sun so the only reason why Qt3 NLS may change in the future and therefore need an update from the translator is either a bugfix of the 1.6 product branch or a contribution to the Qt3 GUI from the community.

2. The tool that needs to be used to work with .ts files from the VirtualBox4 directory is Qt Linguist 4 (you can download the Open Source version of Qt 4 for your platform here: http://trolltech.com/downloads/opensource).

2.0 NLS Ready to Translate

The new 2.0 release is expected next week. Please note again that VirtualBox 2.0 and following versions will ship the VirtualBox GUI that uses Qt version 4 and therefore you need to update the Qt4 NLS files, not the Qt4 ones. See comment:1 and also make sure you have read the Translating document once more since there are some important updates.

All VirtualBox NLS files (VirtualBox_*.ts) were copied from the Qt3 directory and then syncronized with sources. It means that all existing (and not changed) NLS string should remain intact in the .ts files for Qt4.

However, the situation with Qt4 NLS files (qt_*.ts) is little bit different. We cannot synchronize them with Qt4 sources at the present time and therefore we took the existing files from the official Qt release version 4.3.3 and put them over the ones in the VirtualBox4/nls subdirectory in SVN. The following files were put over:

• qt_ar.ts
• qt_de.ts
• qt_es.ts
• qt_fr.ts
• qt_iw.ts
• qt_ja_jp.ts (renamed to qt_ja.ts)
• qt_pl.ts
• qt_pt.ts
• qt_ru.ts
• qt_sk.ts
• qt_sv.ts
• qt_zh_CN.ts

Maintainers of the respective translations should check these files and make corrections if necessary.

The contents of the rest of qt_*.ts files were replaced with the contents of the new qt_xx_YY.ts file that represents an untranslated NLS template for Qt4. Maintainers of these translations will have to translate them from scratch (probably using translated strings from Qt3 version of the .ts file opened in a separate window of Qt Linguist).

2.0 NLS update

There are some last minute updates to the translation files. Please checkout the latest revision using svn & continue the translation work on this new files.

Updates to the Romanian translation are merged to SVN. alexef, thank you, and as far as I see, you (correctly) translated the Qt4 (aka VirtualBox 2.0) version, so I don't see the reason for 'sorry'.

2.0 NLS last minute update

There are some more minor corrections in the .ts files, please feel free to update.

Currently Korean translation is being updated, and current status is about 90%. Do you know the exact release of VirtualBox 2.0?

* exact release date

Replying to peremen:

* exact release date

The exact release date is today, the build is closed already. However, there will be 2.0.2 very soon, so your contribution is still highly appreciated.

I think it is too late, but here is Korean translation file.

I was sorry because I only translated VirtualBox.ts file, not also qt.ts. Maybe in the future, we can use qt.ts from Qt, not our own?

Replying to alexef:

I was sorry because I only translated VirtualBox.ts file, not also qt.ts. Maybe in the future, we can use qt.ts from Qt, not our own?

There is no qt_ro.ts in the official Qt 4.x distribution. If you have one (e.g. contributed to to Trolltech by someone else), you can use it for VirtualBox too provided that the license of that translation is compatible with our (MIT) license.

Swedish translation updated. Please add my mail address to the list, po@danielnylander.se

Already translated the missing strings for VirtualBox for pt-BR. I should be sending an update later tomorrow, after I finish the QT4 strings and proofread them.

BTW, I found the following typos in the en-US strings:

in VBoxGLSettingsUpdate: "When checked, the application will periodically connect to the VirtualBox website and check whether a new VirtualBox verison is available."

in VBoxVMSettingsUSB: "When checked, enables the virtual USB EHCI controller of this machine. The USB ECHI controller provides USB 2.0 support."

now that's a sexy controller... :)

docca: Thanks for the typo hint. This is corrected internally & will appear in the public svn soon.

Here's the full translation for both VirtualBox and QT4. I proofread it, and everything appears to be in order.

poetzsch, could you place me (or all the translators here, for that matter) in the CC field? I'd like to receive email notifications whenever the ticket is updated, if possible.

docca, I would not recommend that because the cc: field of a ticket is public visible. There is an internal cc: list. The easiest way to get on this list is to post a comment here. If someone is familiar with trac, ideas on how to do this better are welcome.

I know it's off-topic, but perhaps this Trac plugin could be of use? The group notify feature seems to be just what is needed.

Just an update, as you haven't heard anything from me since I said I would do the Danish translation. It has taken more time than expected, and the Qt3->Qt4 transition also made it take a bit longer, but I'm currently around 70% done with the VirtualBox.ts file. I will post it when I'm done with it.

Hi again!!

Is is possible to have SVN privileges so that we don't have to live the hassle of zipping the files?

Sincerely, Joaquín

Greek (Hellenic) translation 5% done

Updated Swedish translation (100%)

VirtualBox3 (Qt3) translation update (1035/1188)

I attached a latest Qt3 translation update. I'll no longer update this translation.

Fully translated Virtual Disk Creator Wizard + typofixes (960/1068)

Replying to dmik:

Maintainers of these translations will have to translate them from scratch (probably using translated strings from Qt3 version of the .ts file opened in a separate window of Qt Linguist).

Qt4 Linguist have a little trick: you can open the Qt3 ts file by Phrases -> Open auxillary source, and select a Qt3 .ts file. It doesn't modifies it, just open, and shows a matching translation (if found) between the Source and the Translation part of the editor stuff. I used it well with VirtualBox3-VirtualBox4 migration.

Replying to jd:

No, it isn't possible, sorry.

Replying to hron84:

Qt4 Linguist have a little trick...

Thank you for the hint.

Updates to the Swedish, Spanish, Hungarian translations are merged to SVN.

yeager, please use the Qt4 Linguist application! By using some raw XML editor to update the .ts file you a) break the standard indentation every time (which appears as too many meaningless diffs the maintainer needs to review when checking your update) and b) risk to break the translation by accidentally breaking the markup (HTML entities, extra spaces, line feeds and so on)!

ozzii, your Serbian updates don't merge clearly with the current version of src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls/VirtualBox_sr.ts from the SVN: please perform a merge on your side, resolve any conflicts and reattach here.

jose1711, the same applies to your Slovak translation. Looks like you took VirtualBox_sk.ts from the VirtualBox directory instead of VirtualBox4. Please take the right file and re-attach.

epimitheas, thank you for your will to contribute the Greek translation, but you didn't provide all necessary details about you (full name, e-mail) and didn't license your translation so we cannot accept it right now. Please read http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Translating#Submittingthetranslation and follow the instructions there (and read the rest of the document if you didn't do that yet).

dmik: I used Kbabel 1.11.4 earlier but have saved the files using Qt Linguist 4.4.2 now. Hope the files are better looking now. Regards, Daniel Nylander

Replying to yeager:

dmik: I used Kbabel 1.11.4 earlier but have saved the files using Qt Linguist 4.4.2 now. Hope the files are better looking now.

Ok, great. But please use the current version of VirtualBox_sv.ts from SVN each time you update it and attach here (or use the SVN client to update this file for you as described in the second comment of this ticket) -- there were a few fixes missing in your last attached .ts (don't worry about attaching it again -- just take the current SVN version and continue on it).

dmik: I can't find any missing strings in the SVN copy of VirtualBox_sv.ts. There are two empty strings for country/language, which I guess I shouldn't translate

Replying to yeager:

dmik: I can't find any missing strings in the SVN copy of VirtualBox_sv.ts. There are two empty strings for country/language, which I guess I shouldn't translate

I said "there were missing fixes" meaning that I already fixed that when merging it to SVN so it contains the correct version now which you should take for further translation. Two empty country strings are indeed do not need to be translated in your case.

update of Slovak translation

Updated Czech translation to be compatibile with VirtualBox 2.0.x (fixed by Radek Vybiral)

New catalan translation based with softcatalà style guide

epimitheas, thank you for the start! However, I don't see anything translated in VirtualBox_el.ts, it even lacks your name. I've added your name and the language name myself but keep in mind that the translation won't be added to the distribution until the amount of translated items reaches the 50% limit (note that you must take both .ts files from SVN and continue your work on them, not on your local copies!). Also, you didn't provide us your email which is a requirement too.

jose1711. I will repeat. The files you attached are kind of wrong: they are from the unsupported Qt3 version of the VirtualBox frontend (i.e. from the src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/nls directory). You need to take them from the src/VBox/Frontends/'''VirtualBox4'''/nls directory (simply download using these links: http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls/VirtualBox_sk.ts and http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls/qt_sk.ts if you are unable to work with SVN)! I've merged them to the Qt3 directory though since they belong there. But keep in mind that these updates will not appear in the VirtualBox4 directory, you will have to put them to Qt4 .ts files manually.

Pau, I've merged your update however could you please comment on what are the other two archives attached by rbuj after you?

rbuj, thank you but first please tell what did you attach and why and who you are :) The Catalan translation is maintained by Pau Iranzo now so you should coordinate your efforts with him. I left your files untouched so far.

Updates to the Greek, Slovak (Qt3), Catalan (but not ca_2 and ca_ES), Romanian, Czech and Chinese are merged to SVN.

2.1 NLS Ready to Translate

The new 2.0 release is expected by the end of next week. Please note again that VirtualBox 2.1 and following versions will ship the VirtualBox GUI that uses Qt version 4 and therefore you need to update the Qt4 NLS files, not the Qt4 ones. See comment:1 and also make sure you have read the Translating document once more since there are some important updates.

Here's the updated translation for version 2.1.

translation for VirtualBox4/nls/*

Hi, I've just realised that "rbuj" attached two files of Catalan translation. I haven't had any notice about rbuj, but I'll try to contact him (is there a way to find out which is his e-mail?

Thanks

Replying to Pau:

is there a way to find out which is his e-mail?

Not that I know of. He didn't present himself to us yet.

Update for VirtualBox_ca.ts (Qt4), catalan

Slovak language

adding (slightly) updated Slovak translation. hope it's okay now. joe

Ukrainian language - started translation

Updated pt translation, although not final.

updated Slovak translation

Updates to the Catalan, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Slovak, Swedish and Portuguese translations are merged to SVN. Thank you very much everyone!

jean-jacques, please note that your latest update has not been accepted because it doesn't merge cleanly with either of the VirtualBox versions (Qt3 and Qt4). Looks like a Qt3 translation file with some partial updates from the Qt4 sources. Note however that the Qt4 version of the French translation was updated by Sun people (Michael Thayer) and is ready for the 2.1 release. You may contact Michael if you have questions.

Updated Slovak translation

I'm working on Thai translation.

Updated Czech translation for 2.1.x

Updated Slovak translation

Updated to svn trunk, some translations added (934/1097)

Mr. Victor Wang, I found some flaws in your translation. 1. Some words and phrases are not translated. Do you think they don't need to be translated or the translation is just incomplete. If it's the latter case, the progress should not be 100%. If the former, well, it's really a problem. 2. Some translations are not appropriate. They are either lengthy or confusing. Wang, I want to make further disscusion with you. So you can contact me(my email address is guoguy@gmail.com) or give me your email address if you are glad to.

VirtualBox Turkish translations updated against svn head.

Hi all, my name's Vincenzo and I'm a member of the KDE Italian translation team. I'm interested in maintaining the Italian translation. Ciro, the previous translator, agreed on the maintainership takeover.

This folder is not accessible anymore. Normal or not? http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls

So I can't check for the langage update.

Thanks for the good question, ozzii. Here is the important update.

We discontinued the support of the Qt3 frontend a while back and now we removed the source code of this frontend located at src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox from the repository. After that, the src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4 directory was renamed to just src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox.

In other words, now the directory src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox contains the sources of the active Qt4 frontend. The NLS files you need to maintain are located in the http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/nls directory.

It appears there is a problem with the Swedish translation. I get the following messages when I open Settings (Inställningar) if I have LC_MESSAGES=sv: --- Qt WARNING: QString::arg: Argument missing: du har tilldelat mindre än <b>1%</b> för grafikminnet vilket är den minsta mängd som krävs för att växla den virtuella maskinen till helskärmsläge eller sömlöst läge., 7 MB ---

Hello, I would like to ask WHO is responsible for submitting translation to SVN? I've updated Czech translation for 2.1.x 31. 12. 2008!!! But this update NEVER appears in 2.1.x versions. Why? Whats wrong with this update? Right now there some untranslated strings specially in Wizard sections. So if a BFU starts to use VirtualBox and wants to help with Wizards, there are some English strings, WTF!? Thanks

Some fixes for the Catalan translation

Little question: Why when I download the Serbian ts files from the virtualbox servers a lot of sentences are "untranslated"? But the translation is complete!

Please update the link in the first comment (history) http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/nls/ does not exist anymore

Taiwan translation Updated base on 17256

Merged the Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Turkish, Finnish, Catalan, Italian, Swedish translations to SVN.

kedar1: Sorry for the delay.

yeager: I can't edit comments. I will delete this one, cause all is described in the wiki.

hile: I have updated your changes, but please ask Jarno Kiuttu or Timo Jyrinki if this is ok, cause this two maintaining this language set.

fei: Please ask some of the former maintainer if it is ok to merge your changes. You have to release your changes also under the MIT license. See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Translating for a description.

Thanks to all for your work. I will inform you about the upcoming release soon.

ozzii: You file doesn't cleanly merged. So I couldn't import it to svn.

poetzsch: hile's changes to the Finnish translation are ok both now and in the future.

Corrected the error. Normaly now it's OK for merging.

Virtual Box haven't seen an update to Polish translation for a long time. Actually, last SVN log entry that mentions Polish translation is dated 2007-11-27.

If nobody objects, I will update this translation soon.

Re SirYes: Adrian Łubik or Dawid Wrobel is this ok for you? SirYes please see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Translating for how it works. You have to release your work under MIT.

Merged Italian, Serbian & Chinese translations.

Merged the Italian translation. Thank you smart2128.

2.2.0 NLS Ready to Translate

We are in preparation of the next upcoming major release (approximately released in a week). I have updated the nls directory with the latest NLS changes. You are welcome to update your translation.

The files to translate are located in SVN as usual. For the detailed update process see the Wiki.

Thanks in advance.

Updated Korean translation according to 2.2.0.

Current status for Polish translation is that only about 100 strings out of 2033 are missing. In 24 hours it will be finished and (hopefully) proofread by me and another person.

The old translation was badly outdated and poorly translated. Basically I'm doing it almost from scratch, using 40-50% of the original material. Be patient, it's going to be worth it.

Updated Czech translation for 2.2.x

Full archive of Polish translation files (including original and modified versions, as well as .diff files) can be found at: http://ics.p.lodz.pl/~wiktorw/vbox/2.2/

I have merged the updated Korean, Italian, Czech, Polish & Japanese translations to the svn.

Thanks for your work.

khem: You have to release your work under the MIT license. Please have a look at the Wiki for a how to.

Correction for wrong "(IO APIC)" hint on Advanced VM Settings page. I must have used incorrect suggestion in Qt Creator, the one regarding ACPI instead.

I am the former polish translator for virtualbox. I am sorry for not updating the translation for virtualbox since the time being, but I was (and still am) busy with my master's thesis research. I came here to say thank you to my successor, as I noticed that starting with version 2.2 polish translation has different maintainer. I am however disappointed (to say the least) by what SirYes? says about the quality of my work and the fact he rewrote 40/50% of it. I've spent countless hours on this translation, doing my best to make particularly those very long sentences clear and understandable by anyone (not just tech-savy people) while trying to figure out correct nomenclature and to stick to it over different parts of program. By the diff SirYes? supplied I can clearly see that the very most of the changes are _only_ cosmetic, so PLEASE, SirYes?, don't make fuss and publicly insult my work by saying it was "poorly translated" (as I am sure it was not ) and that you rewrote ~half of it (as you clearly did not). You may have altered that many lines of the translation but did not rewrote that much - and it makes a huge difference.

It was simple enough to just send me an private email asking if you can handle the translation on yourself, without making up the reasons for overtaking the translation on a public forum.

Anyways, I can see the changes you've done are for better so I wish good luck with translation.

I apologize, your analysis is right. I *felt* like rewriting the translation, because of the need to touch so many strings in a coherent way. And even though the changes may seem minor, they were numerous. I've spent a good portion of my evenings for last three weeks to get the thing updated on time. Some new phrases were so complicated that I needed to contact other Polish translators from Aviary.pl team to agree on the wording (for example: "appliance").

I apologize once more for not contacting you privately, but I was unable to dig out your address like I typically do (.po files encourage pasting e-mails in the header, for example), and I asked here first for permission on 2009-03-13. I hoped that after commenting here all translators would get an e-mail to their mailboxes. Since there was silence I assumed both former translators became MIA and started to work on my own. If you feel insulted then I publicly say I am terribly sorry for the whole situation - and I truly am.

I'm not trying to overtake anything, I know how [we] translators feel pride of the work. Please contact me: siryes(AT)gmail(DOT)com for further communication, so this channel would stay clear.

Hi

I don't know why, but the Catalan translation is actually the previous version of the last one that I attached here one month ago. Did something go wrong?. Thanks!. (On the other hand, I had no time to translate the 2.2 version :(...)

SirYes? - OK, it's fine, I just didn't want the developers of Virtualbox to have feeling that I my translation was poor, that's all. Your changes really seem better to me and make more sense and more professional (however I really did my best on translation). Never mind, and good luck! :)

Hi again

I would like to ask the language administrator if it is possible to update the language files when a minor VirtualBox update is published (for example on 2.2.1). Some languages like Spanish, Portuguese, Basque or Catalan have not been updated on the last release and it is so "ugly" to see English sentences on the menus or explanations when using VirtualBox on our language.

Of course it was our fault to not have translated the files on time, but I think it's not very difficult to add them on minor updates.

Thanks! (I've just attached the Catalan translation)

Taiwan translation Updated for 2.2.0

Merged Catalan, Swedish, Italian & Polish translations. Thank you very much.

re cromo/SirYes: please see comment:59, where I asked for acknowledgment. Maybe I should have wait I little bit longer. Sorry for the confusion.

re Pau: It seems I simply forgot to include your changes. Sorry. Your updated translations will be included in the next minor release. About the updates of minor releases in general: We have a separate branch for the minor releases beside the trunk. So its not that easy to keep the translations you do for the trunk in sync with that branch. But I will try to backport as much of your changes as possible.

re fei: Sorry, I can't include your changes because the former translators doesn't acknowledge this step & you haven't agreed to publish your translation under the terms of the MIT. Please see the Wiki for the steps necessary to get the translation included. bluebat would it be ok for you when fei updates the zh_TW files also?

Replying to poetzsch: Thank for your help. and this translations release in MIT.

Italian translation of comments in *.desktop files, for VirtualBox 2.2

Hi there, I made bulgarian translation of VirtualBox from the current SVN files. I hope it will be added officially to the VirtualBox package soon :) It's translated all strings for the interface. Info for the translators:

Stoyan Marinov <neter/moyat.net>, Moyat.NET

Best regards!

Merged Catalan, Czech, Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Bulgarian & Serbian translations.

Thank you very much for your fast & excellent work.

Some little fixes. Nothing special. Thank you for the including of the Bulgarian translation in the official release.

Hi, I would like to take over the maintenance of the dutch language file since it seems that it is maintained no longer, and is very incomplete? Also the current translations in the qt_nl.ts file are often far from correct.

Hi

It seems that yesterday, the first beta of VirtualBox 3.0 was out. What about translations? Are the ts files on nls ready to translate?.

Thanks!

No, we will update the NLS files short before the final release.

The reason is that there are still some GUI / NLS changes pending.

Hi!

I translating again VirtualBox, but I see a changes on http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Translating page.

So, the questions:

• I need to send email to info WORM virtualbox.org even if I was an active translator?
• A guy joined to me and helps in translation. Need he send a comment with MIT license, or enough if I'm a leader and I submit the translated stuffs?

I'll upload hungarian files tomorrow...

@poetzsch:

Since it's been over a month now and I haven't seen a reply from Alexander I went ahead and translated most of the file already, especially with the upcomming 3.0 release in mind. I still need to complete a few things and then test the file on my local installation. when that's done, I think, mid-nextweek, I'll attach the file to my next message if that's ok?

Updated translation file. Needs SVN resync

VirtualBox_hu.ts: Translated: 1224 of 1257

Updated Bulgarian, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian & added Ukranian translations. Thanks all for your work.

Re hron84: You haven't to relicense your work. To be on the save side it would be nice if your collage would also add the statement about releasing his work under MIT her in the defect. Also adding his name to the ts file would be nice.

Re Jeroen: ok, I will change the ownership to you when you uploaded the files.

3.0.0 NLS Ready to Translate

We are in preparation of the next upcoming major release (approximately released in a week). I have updated the nls directory with the latest NLS changes. You are welcome to update your translation.

The files to translate are located in SVN as usual. For the detailed update process see the Wiki.

Please note that I updated the qt_*.ts files to the Qt version 4.4.3 also. Maybe you should have a look to the corresponding language file as well.

Thanks in advance.

Updated Italian translation for 3.0.0 (VirtualBox_it.ts 99% qt_it.ts 60%)

Hmm... just a question: the string Phonon::GStreamer::MediaObject->"A required codec is missing..." from the qt file seems to be missing a "%n" marker according to QT Linguist. Is that correct? Where should we put it?

Replying to docca:

Hmm... just a question: the string Phonon::GStreamer::MediaObject->"A required codec is missing..." from the qt file seems to be missing a "%n" marker according to QT Linguist. Is that correct? Where should we put it?

The complete string sounds: "A required codec is missing. You need to install the following codec(s) to play this content: %0" So, you must put %0 to the correct place.

Accidentally I changed some strings in the ts files which shouldn't be changed. I corrected the corresponding strings in all files. If you already checked out the files please to a update again. Nothing else have to be done from your side. Sorry & Thanks.

smart2128: I already merged your last changes. Thx.

@poetzsch: I have uploaded the updated Swedish translation, which lacks the latest changes. Please commit and update with the latest changes and I will update the translation asap.

I updated ukranian tranlation for 3.0, but someone may explain me what does «bucket» mean?!

Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR) translation for VirtualBox (updated for v3.0)

Alright, here are the updated files for pt_BR.

@Wiseacre: "bucket" refers to a virtual storage unit on a cloud-based bulk data storage service, like Amazon S3. Translating it directly may sound a little weird, specially if in your country people already use the term in English for lack of a better translation. Perhaps you should leave it as "bucket" as well?

Perhaps. Anyway, thank You for explaining.

The Hungarian (hu) translation attached here by George Hron and Tom Evin ( aka hron84 and evin ) is published under the terms of the MIT license.

Updated Swedish, Ukranian & Brazilian Portuguese. Thx for your work.

Bulgarian translation of VirtualBox (updated for v3.0)

Here are the updated files for the Bulgarian translation (bg_BG) of the latest SVN files. I suppose these files are for v3.0. Please, tell me if I'm wrong.

Updated Italian translation for 3.0.0 (VirtualBox_it.ts 100% qt_it.ts 63%)

Hungarian translation - marked for 3.0 release

Fully translated VirtualBox, initial upload of Qt VirtualBox_hu.ts: Translated: 1309 of 1309 qt_hu.ts: Translated: 1012 of 1202

Updated Bulgarian, Italian, Serbian, Hungarian & Catalan. Many thanks for your hard work.

Updated Czech translation for 3.0.0

I'm going to maintain the translation to my language (Dutch) since the current Dutch translation only has 2 words translated.

re Domokun: please see comment:86, comment:88, comment:95 & comment:97. I guess Jeroen has started to working on a new translation for Dutch already. Maybe you could both work on it and share the work. Please make sure that you proper sync your work. The instruction for translating VBox are here. Thx for your interest on contributing to VirtualBox.

re kedar1: merged your changes. Thx for your work.

@poetzsch, thanks for that, I forgot to read the previous comments (silly me). I will contact Jeroen about it.

A separate ticket for NLS mistakes/suggestion has also been created (#4503). Please subscribe to the ticket to monitor new reports (add a comment to do so).

This will encourage people to report problems in a single place so you don't have to monitor all new tickets.

Thank you.

100% has done for ukranian translation of VirtualBox.

And other attachments (VirtualBox_uk.2.ts & VirtualBox_uk.ts) may be removed.

Replying to poetzsch:

re khem: Added Khmer to VBox as official language. Thx again for your work.

@ poetzsch: I have tested Virtualbox 3.0.2 and I see Khmer included already. but there is a problem with translation that need to be corrected. The translation in preference --> language --> Choose Khmer language. I have corrected the translation and I want you to help add the updated translation to Virtualbox as official language. Should I attach as new for updated translation again?

Thanks,

Update Khmer translation for 3.0.x

Merged Khmer & Ukranian. Thanks for your work.

Re epimitheas: I didn't found the statement that you release your work under the terms of the MIT. Can you please do it (or do it again in the case I missed something). Thanks.

Hi!, I would like to update the es (Spanish) translation, it has many strings untranslated, some typos and misspellings for the current translation archives in svn (r21916). I don't find a email to contact Joaquín Duo to ask him if he is currently working in this language. You can contact me at pico.dev/gmail.com. I can start the translation update in one week or so if I don't get answer? Thanks.

Long time no see. Korean translation of VirtualBox_ko.ts, version 3.0.4. qt_ko.ts is work in progress.

Updated Italian translation for 3.0.0 (VirtualBox_it.ts 100% qt_it.ts 70%)

Japanese translation for 3.0.x

Merged Catalan, Korean, Italian & Japanese. Many thanks for your work.

re pico.dev: I wrote Joaquín an email, that he should contact you. Thanks for your interest on VirtualBox.

Ls.

I've completed the Dutch translation.

Added Galician. Thanks for your work.

Re geertseb: I can't add the Dutch translation, cause you didn't release your work under the terms of the MIT license. Also see this instructions on translating VirtualBox. Alexander L. de Goeij would this Ok with you?

The Dutch (NL) translation attached here by Ebel Geertsema is published under the terms of the MIT license.

The latest attachment is not syncrhonized with current svn, so wait until i send the new one. Cheers! Joaquín

I checked it and it was a typo fix already fixed on the version sent. So the attachment is OK to go. Cheers! Joaquín

Replying to Tenzer:

Just an update, as you haven't heard anything from me since I said I would do the Danish translation. It has taken more time than expected, and the Qt3->Qt4 transition also made it take a bit longer, but I'm currently around 70% done with the VirtualBox.ts file. I will post it when I'm done with it.

In agreement with Tenzer (jeppe@tenzer.dk) I'm going to assume responsibility for the Danish translation of VirtualBox.

Updated translation to fixed source strings (no translation change happened)

Hi,

I'd like to take over the Greek (el) language translation, since it has not been updated and is incomplete. I have made other tranlations of applications for quite some time now. Who should I contact, or anyone can contact me at [gumstic@gmail.com]

Regards, Andreas

updated Slovak translation

updated Romanian Translation.

Merged Dutch, Spanish, Slovak & Romanian translations. Thanks for your great work.

Re geertseb: I added you as the new maintainer for Dutch but I'm a bit confused who is working currently on the Dutch translation. According to comments 86, 111, 112 there where more people requesting for this job. Would be nice if you could coordinate your work & inform me about the status. Regardless of this thanks for your work.

Re gumstic: As Spiros Vlachos doesn't work on Greek in the last year & the translation file is almost empty I assume its Ok when you start working on it. Please see this instructions & don't forget to release your work under MIT when you first upload something.
