How to translate the titles Dr., Mr., Mrs., Miss. and Ms. in BusinessResources.resx?

Dr., Herr, Frau and ...?

I'll just leave the Engligh ones...

avatar

Dr. = Dr.

Mr. = Herr

Mrs. = Frau

Ms. = Frau

Miss. = Fräulein (outdated) / Frau (new)

best regards

Yes but then the Dropdown (if it is one?) would look like:

Dr.

Herr

Frau

Frau

Frau

avatar

then the developer must check on duplicated entries. (I hope they do)

I would translate the english entries and wait for the release and open then a bugfix ;-)

best regards

Is it OK to translate "Session Script Tools" as just "Sitzungs-Scripts" (leaving out the tools)?

imo "Sitzungs-Script-Tools" is too much dashes :)

And in German the normal way is to write words together, so the orthographically correct way would be Sitzungsskriptwerkzeuge, but I'm not a friend of that. I like to keep some English words intact as they sound stupid in German.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Session Script Tools with be changed in the next version for Macro/Script/Tools

On a lot of occasions in the MsgResources.resx there are messages in the form of:

"Unable to X the Y"

Unable to connect to the VPN

Unable to delete the file

Unable to find the template

etc.

there are lots of them. All of which you typically don't want to read :)

And it's translated like:

"Es ist nicht möglich Y zu X"

("It is not possible to X the Y")

but imo better would be

"Y konnte nicht X werden."

("The Y could not be X")

I changed a lot of these occasions until I realized that there are still so many left, and I would propably spend hours with this.

Sorry to leave you with unfinished work but that's too much for voluntary work :/

In the Logs panel in the filter section there's a drop down with "Original time", "Local time for this machine", "UTC time"

I suppose "Original time" means the local time on the session client?

Maybe write "Local time for session client" or so?

avatar

Hi,

Your suggestion is interesting but what do you think of "Original local time"?

David Hervieux

avatar

well it's not necessarily local.. I don't know I'd say "client time", "local time" and "UTC"

avatar

I like Client time

What's the "Open shortcut session silent" in advanced options about?

also what's "Force Non-destructive backspace"?

edited by alphanimal on 10/6/2012

Open shortcut session silent: it's used to disable the ShowMessage when you open a session from a desktop shortcut. All the console messages are redirected in a message dialog

The other is used in SSH/Telnet to treat incoming destructive backspace characters (7F) as non-destructive backspace characters (08)

In, UIResources.resx, where's lblDesktop, lblDesktopProtocol located?

I think those need a fix

avatar

Hi,

This is used in the VMwareView add-on. In the configuration dialog.

where's lblTo = "To"

It either means something like a recipient ("Mail To") or a region ("From ... To").

In German it's either "an" or "bis"

I noticed it's used in the Port Generator boundaries, where it should be translated "bis", but I don't want to break other uses...

avatar

Hi,

We use the lblTo for the boundaries. We will create another label if it's for a mail to

avatar

Hi,

I have verified and the translation is missing. I will make sure to add it for the next version.
