French Translation

[qwerty800]

BTW,

Gnou, Kroc, and Morosara, I need your mails AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

[gnou]

About "ADAV", qwerty is right.
"Poussée vectorielle" is another technology that increase break-angle, EF2000 et F22 have it.

About "Hover",
we can keep "propulsion sur coussin d'air" for technical description.

About "twin",
"jumelé" is the correct translation, but "coaxial" is most used.
"Coaxial" refers to point on the same axis, not necessarly the same weapon, you can have a cannon with a machine-gun "coaxiale".

Assault Gun = Canon d'assaut
Assault Cannon= ?

Good question Moro... man say "sulfateuse" too for rotative gun.
I prefer keep "canon d'assault" for "assault cannon".


@ qwerty,
I did one mandate for the KFOR, I don't mean man can speak about "veteran".

[qwerty800]

Okay but WILL YOU GVIE ME YOU E-MAIL
(I rlly need it. I MUST send it to launch pad and I need to put your names and mails in the po file)

[MoroSqua]

@ gnou:

LOL. "Sulfateuse", yes. But maybe too slangy ( don't know why but when I read this word I remember old movies as Les Tontons Flingueurs ) 

Don't know if here coaxial actually matches what we see in-game. I often heard this word used when talking about the (internal) machinegun embedded in a tank turret, as secondary weapon beside the main gun (on main battle tanks).

Jumelées:                                           Coaxiale:



PLZ:

Mitrailleuse.


- "propulsion sur coussin d'air" for technical description / Yes.
- keep "canon d'assault" for "assault cannon" / Yes.

@ Kroc:

About "mitrailleuse double" : OK, but the original french translation is not the holly bible.

No need to launch your game if you wanna know how "assault canon" was translated. Check your warzone2100.wdg file in WZ root directory.

Who is Alex ?
Who is Louise ?

@ qwerty800: my eMail (G.W.) already in PO file, check the headers.


 

[qwerty800]

my eMail (G.W.) already in PO file, check the headers.

So that's you Vincent Laviron? (I just want to be sure)

[Althalus]

I am Vincent Laviron. For MoroSqua's e-mail, check the Last Translator string in the po file. Since I don't use poedit to do the translations, I usually forget to change the headers.

[gnou]

Yep Moro, "sulfateuse" is not a young term.
But it is more proper to "Prédator" than "Les tontons flingueurs"... ^^

About "coaxial",
2 things parallel are "coaxiales".
"2 mitrailleuses coaxiales/montées en coaxial" is equal to "mitrailleuses jumelées".

[qwerty800]

So... We have My (Nicolas "qwerty800" Roy-Renaud) mail, the #Edited#Jérôme "Gnou" Hauser#/Edited# one, the Vincent "Athalus" Laviron one, the Guillaume "Morosqua" Wilhelm one and the only one missing is the Kroc one...

But I wonder if he still goes on the fourm... (2 days... It's long )

Anyway. We willl process without!

P.S: I joined the file I sent to Launchpad
Edit: I updated the file: the gnou name figure in it.

[gnou]

Jérôme "Gnou" Hauser... for the posterity !  ::)

I am doing a campaign on 2.1r1, actualy mission 8,
with one save after each mission.
So, it's easy to see error & mistake in briefing...

[qwerty800]

Ummm... Does anyne know how to proprely upload a file on launchpad?  :-[(How I love this smiley)

[MoroSqua]

I began to work this way: launching the game with the latest PO/MO file loaded, und correcting errors or adding missing translations at the same time, checking everything -briefings, weapons, researches,...-. Hell , how boring it is !

But there is another problem here, e.g. the way I translated:

#: data/messages/strings/cam1strings.txt:6
msgid "Establish a base, then search for a Pre-Collapse structure."
msgstr "Construisez une base, puis recherchez tout bâtiment Pré-Apocalyptique."

#: data/messages/strings/cam1strings.txt:7
msgid "This structure contains technology vital for the success of the Project."
msgstr "Ces bâtiments abritent des technologies vitales pour le succès du Projet."

I used the plural form, because there are several Scavengers bases to eradicate. However I know that the 'Pre-Collapse structure" refers to... a cyborg factory - I watched the FMVs. So what to do ? As we do not have the vids, must the translation refer to what we actually see or refer to what the game could be with the FMVs inserted ?

---------------------------------------------------



So we make a choice ?

"Jumelé(e)s", "coaxiales(aux)", "Double" ?

"Chenilles", "Chenillé(e)(s)", "sur Chenilles" ?

--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: I got a huge RTF file (around 300 pages) which seem to contain the "original" (I can't be sure of that) translation... Gonna post a few strings, later. Maybe some guys who have the original french game will tell me if this is a fake or not...

Ask it to Madmarc ;D

[Althalus]

"Chenilles", "Chenillé(e)(s)", "sur Chenilles" ?

If you are referring to the translation of the "Tracks" string, I vote for "Chenilles", because I think it would match the english version (tracks, not tracked) : names are supposed to be understood as "turret" - "body" - "propulsion", not as one global name. Besides, there is still this feature that allows you to change the name of any of your designs, although I don't think anybody uses it.

For the whole bunch of predefined names and for "Tracked propulsion", though, it makes sense to use another translation, more specific.

I used the plural form, because there are several Scavengers bases to eradicate. However I know that the 'Pre-Collapse structure" refers to... a cyborg factory - I watched the FMVs. So what to do ? As we do not have the vids, must the translation refer to what we actually see or refer to what the game could be with the FMVs inserted ?

My opinion is that we should adapt our translations to the current project, which doesn't contain FMVs, so the plural is good.

I have the original game but i can run only the original movie.
Possible i have somewhere all the text but.. where?

[gnou]

Having unit "correctly named", according gender & plural, by the game is not "light".
A few check with if nested...etc

Models like can be an alternative:
"[String_weapon] sur [String_chassis] à [String_propulsion]"
with:
String_propulsion[] = {"roues", "semi-chenilles", "chenilles"}

but there is a problem for hovercraft and VTOL...
One check would be needed and change the model as:
"[String_propulsion] [String_weapon] sur [String_chassis]"

?

Moro,
there is no problem for me with your text.

p.s.  I always rename my units
