Suggestions for soure language translation (en)

[scootergrisen]

Here i will write about suggestions i have for the avidemux_en.ts file which i would belive is the file the other translations are based on.

[scootergrisen]

Do the following strings really need to be in the translations?
Are they not always the same in all translations?

Code Select Expand

000000
0
XXXX
00:00:00
(0 track(s))


Maybe:

Maybe remove " version" from this string and maybe needs to start with big character?:

Code Select Expand

use QT4 version
>
use QT4
Use QT4


Maybe these two strings should be the same style? One or the other.

Code Select Expand

00:00:00/000
00:00:00.000


Some strings ":" with space before like:

Extra data :
And some strings use without space:

Maybe good idea to make it consistent, one or the other.
I think in my language it should be without space but im not sure if the same is the case for english.

Some strings have double space like:

Code Select Expand

Cannot select FLV1  codec.
Do search for "  " and correct them.

Seem to be a "Â" that should not be there in this string:

Code Select Expand

ÂÃ,°
>
Ã,°


Maybe ")" should not be in this string?:

I found these strings that might to be written with incorrect big/small characters and my suggestions:

MKV

mpeg

mp4

Mjpeg

MJPEG

Mplayer

jpg

OpenGl

Instead of having the translators translate the name of the program (Avidemux) multiple times in the translation maybe it would be better to use a placeholder like "%s" if that is possible
If "Avidemux" should be translateable then just have it translated in one string.

Maybe these strings should be written with big K and mybe big B depending on whether it is Byte og bit.

kbps
kbit/s
kb/s
kb

Ok but i'm not good at stuff like that.

I've just added the string to avidemux_da_DK.ts file. // I meant, I added it to the patch in http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16565.msg76130.html#msg76130...

Maybe:

"Is it running ?"

"Is the server running ?"

"i have"

"Avidemux have"

Maybe translate the keyboard shourtcur names like (Space, Left and so on in the menus). Maybe this can be taken from QT translation.

Should "X11" be showed when using Avidemux in Windows?

Maybe change the following to something like "Save as"?:
