Hi Wladimir,

may I ask who's responsible for the German translation of the new version of Adblock Plus? It seems to have vastly improved compared to former versions, so I'm curious.

And, I have to admit, I'd like to propose a slight improvement for the naming of the contextmenu entries. So is there any chance to get in contact with the current translator?

Thanks,
Oliver

Thanks for the praise, I'm doing this translation myself

There is some discussion on the naming of menu items here: http://www.firefox-browser.de/forum/viewto...p=231314#231314

Ups, dieser Beitrag war mir entgangen...
Ich möchte natürlich ungern noch weiter zur Verwirrung beitragen (oder in irgendwelche Fettnäpfchen treten).
Ich hoffe, es ist ok, wenn ich trotzdem eben (unverbindlich ) die wenigen Punkte nenne, zu denen mir noch was eingefallen ist? Eigentlich Peanuts...
Wie gesagt, im Gesamtbild finde ich die deutsche Fassung ja gelungen.

1. Kontextmenü
"Adblock: [...]..."
Das war schon immer eine schwierige Geschichte, da "Adbock" im Deutschen nicht als Verb dienen kann, klingt aber sehr komisch.
Wie wär's mit etwas wie
"Adblock auf [...] anwenden..."?

2. Optionen-Menü
a ) "Statusleiste" schreibt sich in Fx DE durchgehend ohne Bindestrich
b ) Die "Blockierungsknöpfe" für Flash und Java
Nach dem Lesen des Forenbeitrags weiß ich jetzt um den Hintergrund. Aber der "Knopf" ist schon sehr seltsam in dem Kontext. Spontan (wenngleich auch nicht ideal) schießt mir sowas wie
"Tab zum Blockieren von Flash und Java anzeigen" durch den Kopf. Ist nur unwesentlich länger, aber näher am Original und dennoch beschreibend - und bedient zudem alle, die es so gewohnt sind. Hm.... Was denkst du?
(Übrigens: Laut Duden ist "Tab, der" zumindest mittlerweile als "deutsches" Wort eingeführt )

3. Einleitender Text zu Filtern:
Dropdown-Liste = Auswahlliste?

4. Einleitungstext unter "Über"
Die Satzstellung ist etwas "krumm" nach meinem Gefühl.
Vorschlag:
"[...]. Sie brauchen nicht mehr die ganze Werbung herunterzuladen, wenn Sie sie nicht sehen möchten - Adblock Plus regelt dies für Sie!"
"Adblock Plus macht es für Sie" klingt, als ob es die Werbung entweder für mich herunterlädt oder für mich ansieht.

Das war's auch schon, vielleicht kannst du ja dem ein oder anderen Vorschlag etwas abgewinnen...

PS@all:
Sorry for this German interlude, but it felt somewhat strange to write in English here when talking about a German topic to someone who knows German.

[Edit]
Oops, used the wrong account to write this reply. Sorry for any confusion this might cause

Auch im Rumänisch kann man "Adblock" nicht als Verb nutzen. Für meine Übersetzung habe ich das einfaches Verb hinzugefügt (z.B. "Adblock: [...] blockieren").

[Wladimir Palant]

ultravioletu: That's three translations (de, ru and ro) that do it this way then: "Adblock: block image". And a few dropped the word "Adblock" from the context menu alltogether. I think the first should be the prefered way of translating the context menu and the other translations need to be adjusted (unless "Adblock" really can be used as a verb in the language).

[Wladimir Palant]

hit the wrong button, sorry

Mmm...
Just as example, I also excluded "Adblock" (as noun) and used the word as a verb, because in the Italian language isn't so much logical to read "Adblock: block ****"
So, in order to use however the name of the extension, may I invert and interpret in the Italian localization the position of "Adblock"?
Practical example: Block *********** with Adblock Plus
Please, let me know
Thanks

[Wladimir Palant]

I was considering leaving this "Adblock" out completely but ReinekeFux objected that users should see where these context menu items come from - and I think he is right. Guess "Block *********** with Adblock Plus" would do as well.

[Luana]

Exactly, I used your same initial concept

Guess "Block *********** with Adblock Plus" would do as well.

Good thing
Well, later I'll "improve" the existing Italian localization present in the WTS

[Wladimir Palant]

Well, with Adblock Plus 0.6.1 released there is no hurry
(waiting for AMO to approve the release)

[Teboga]

pt-BR translation released, it seems a little late though

I hope the access keys are working at least

Great extension, congratulations
Teboga.

[Wladimir Palant]

Well, they are working

I uploaded a single-language build for pt-BR (see http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/installation_localized.html), it should hit the mirrors in a few hours. However, it is too late to update the multilingual version.

Thanks for translating.

An Italian proverb says: "make hay while the sun shines"
So, before I forget that I had to improve the localization (it could happen ), I did it

Italian localization now is 'complete', it can be grabbed from the WTS

[asteko]

Turkish (tr-TR) translation has been released.

I hope Adblock 0.6.1 is updated with up-to-date translation.

[Wladimir Palant]

I've uploaded 0.6.1+, this was only to synchronize my CVS with WTS - no string changes there yet. Btw, how is it usually done - should I upload a current development build whenever I do some string changes or is it better to upload before an actual release when nothing will change any more?

A few languages are shown at 99% now despite of full translations - is it because some strings are same as for the English version?

@asteko: I've updated the single-language build (http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/installation_localized.html, will be on the mirrors in a few hours). As to the multilingual download - this will have to wait until the next release.

[Wladimir Palant]

I uploaded what should become Adblock Plus 0.6.1.1 soon. Translation-wise there are only the following changes in global.properties:

extensions.{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}.description - that's the localized description for the extension. Now "ads were yesterday" might be difficult or awkward to translate in some languages. For that reason I chose "Say 'no' to ads!" for the Russian translation - I think that can be used for other translations as well where the original phrase can't be used.

status_disabled_tooltip - now advising to middle-click (that probably will be "click with the middle mouse button" in all languages except English)

toolbar_active_tooltip and toolbar_disabled_tooltip - new strings for the toolbar button tooltip. toolbar_disabled_tooltip should usually be the same as status_disabled_tooltip.

[pirlouy]

I chose "Say 'no' to ads!" for the Russian translation

I choose "les publicités, c'est du passé !" without discussion so it could (should) change.
translated by 'ads, it's past time" with a little effect of rhyme.

But, this is Jojaba who will decide when its connexion problems ends.

[Jacen]

Slovak (sk-SK) translation has been updated.

[Wladimir Palant]

@Jacen: I think you should copy text from toolbar_disabled_tooltip into status_disabled_tooltip - other than that looks good, thanks.

[Akilles]

I updated the Finnish locale. Can be grabbed from WTS as usual.

Edit: I also used this kind expression in description: "Ads are in the past!"
