It's difficult to translate it correctly, why don't you change it from "X downloads" to e.g. "downloaded X times"?


To find the correct translation if there is no 1 to 1 translation possible is I think the biggest problem most volunteer translators face. A proper translation is not just converting a word or sentence into another language. You also need to translate the thought or intention behind it, and this may result in you preferring a totally different way of saying the exact same thing.

A good translation is not just a litteral translation, it is a translation of intention, of meaning...and writing it in a way that is customary for your language.

There's always the sites in your own language to take a peak at and see which texts are used most

In the above case, if there is no good equivalent for "X Downloads", maybe there is one for "Downloads: X" ? which is just as short and says exactly the same thing.

language redirection incorrect
Those of you not ending up at the language you expected, check the following.

Start > Control Panel > Regional And Language Options > Regional Options (1st tab) > Location (input at bottom)

I've made a mistake in "downloads" string, there's updated file. It's difficult to translate it correctly, why don't you change it from "X downloads" to e.g. "downloaded X times"?


IMO some "computer" words like download (but also for example mouse, hard disk, drive, backup, font, file, crash, etc...) are international, and doesn't require to be literally translated.
The french language is the exception (hi Ldfa  )

Eg. this is the italian microsoft download center:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=it

Download piu' popolari
Nuovi download
Ricerca download
etc...

Hi,
I find the problem.
If you have logged in, it first checks the language in your Mathon Passport. But many people do not set their language in Maxthon Passport, and then they will be redirected to the English site.

Now, I made a little change and it is fully depended on your system language.
Passport language only allows Chinese or english I first tried changing M2 language to french, no change of addons. Then I changed system to french, still no luck. Should I try deleting cookies

For What Its Worth, my system language as seen on the language bar changes to the language I choose in M2 (at least between the two languages I can apply to the system, i.e., french and English).

Russian for Addons

kukukuan,
russian file updated 3 days ago, please see the 1st page!
To all:

The site will load in the language your Internet Explorer is set to in the language preferences.


Shouldn't the language switch on the bottom feature a couple more languages? All I see is "English - English".

"Of course, Mozilla will continue to abide by our policy of only shipping software when it's ready", "meaning that we'll never publish a release that doesn't meet our strict criteria for quality, stability and performance."  - Mike Beltzner
FIXED The italian lang (post 2172) disappeared again, and also the Turkish one (post 2182).

That's a bug, to be fixed.

Dutch for addons site

Here is the Dutch translation for the Addons Site of Maxthon. I used the attachement from post #1.

Dutch translator
kukukuan:
Please download the updated hungarian language file from post #28 or #35, because I updated it and please update the hungarian addon site. Thanks.
I've saved Russian file with encoding UTF-8. Maybe this will work.

Thanks, but I reupload russian in UTF-8 some days ago in my post on first page of this topic (and I can't see it on addons site).
Please add Russian language, how many time can we expect?
