Nos ayudan a traducir, por favor (Help us translate, please!)

Posted by kemitche

For a while, the listnook admins had more pressing concerns than keeping up to date on translations (such as keeping the servers up). Now, we've still got the occasional server hiccup, but we've also got the manpower to handle accepting help with translations again. In order to reboot that effort, I'd like to announce a new sublistnook to act as the place to go with questions about translating listnook, and offers of assistance: [/r/i18n](/r/i18n). See a minor spelling error in the Italian translation? Interested in helping translate the [new features](/r/changelog) we've been adding? /r/i18n will be the place to go to help out. For the ambitious among you, I also encourage you to directly dive in to the [listnook-i18n](https://github.com/listnook/listnook-i18n) git repository. If you know about git and po files, you should have everything you need to get started. If not, start asking questions in /r/i18n.

Ayúdennos* a traducir. You said "You help us translate". Edit: I've been told that kemitche's phrasing is perfectly acceptable, especially in Latin America it would seem. I assumed it was a command instead of a question. I'll stick to French-English translations in the future, guys =p

I knew I had it wrong, but I couldn't remember what I needed. P.S. You're now required to help out

I'm a native Spanish speaker, English is my second language and I would be happy to translate. I have lots of free time too. (Assuming you need help with a Spanish translation)
12
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +9
We need help with all translations! We've added a number of new features (with corresponding text), such as flair, that need appropriate translations.

I would be glad to assist with the task. My native language is Spanish as well.

[deleted] Nov 16, 2011 +2
Will do! Although as you can see below, I may have to leave the Spanish to the natives so I'll stick to translating French once I get the hang of this github thing.
2
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +2
Awesome! I'm here to help out, so ask away in /r/i18n. If github's not your thing, we'll find another way to get the file-edits in place.

Hola, estás usando mal los signos de interrogación. Ese "por favor", debería ir dentro de la pregunta. Lo correcto sería **"¿Nos ayudan a traducir, por favor?"**. Si no querés que esté dentro de la interrogación, algo también válido sería: **"Por favor, ¿nos ayudan a traducir?"**

Hey, don't let this guy give you a hard time. You may have forgotten the question marks (yes, *both*) but that was actually perfectly cromulent español. La gente habla así todo el tiempo, al menos en Centroamérica.

Or just put it between question marks. "¿Nos ayudan a traducir, por favor?" = "Will you help us translate, please?"

i18n is "internationalization" shortened (18 is the number of letters between the 'i' and the 'n').

Haha it looks like it's quite possible, but not guaranteed! Wikipedia points me to [this W3C glossary entry](http://www.w3.org/2001/12/Glossary#I18N), which says it was "coined at Digital Equipment Corporation in the 1970s or 1980s". Well, was it 70s or 80s??!? The olderness/youngerness of people born near to that decadal boundary depends on the answer!

We have one! Like most of our translations, it's a bit out of date, so any effort to update it would be excellent.

Find any 'z' that isn't at the start or end of a word, replace them with 's' and you're 90% of the way there.

Well, if you must know, there wasn't a standardized spelling at the time of the Revolution. When spelling was later standardized, the Brits added the "u"s to make the writing look more French, which they thought was sophisticated, while the Americans didn't give a damn about that Continental claptrap and took the phonetic route.

Irn Bru is for Scottish English. Guinness is for wacky irish-american.

Something tells me if listnook's finances were more transparent everyone would have a totally different idea of what listnook is and how it was run. Also these crowd sourcing efforts would look a little douchey. Listnook never directly says it, but there's this big front like listnook is a little indie shop, which it may have been once, but it is anything but now. With the sort of traffic this site generates it must generate millions or it's being poorly run. The big clue-in there is the fact that it was bought by Conde Naste, companies generally aren't bought out unless they generate millions per year in income.

Meades_Loves_Memes Nov 16, 2011 +7
This is the most important fact. We're no fools, we understand that Listnook has evolved from small time, a while ago at that. Yet we like Listnook, so we will combine our efforts to see it continue. The day I stop helping Listnook and tell it to fix it's own problems because "it has enough money" is the day I can't complain about this free site being down.
7
[deleted] Nov 17, 2011 +1
That's silly, this website isn't "free", nothing is free. Someone is paying for it, and that would be advertisers, gold members, and swag buyers. You're paying for this site by being a statistic to show potential advertisers. You're paying by absorbing the culture and becoming a target demographic. I am too. We all are. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I just think it's short sighted to believe the front that has been put up that this is some smalltime operation that "needs" your free labor.
1
Meades_Loves_Memes Nov 18, 2011 +1
>I just think it's short sighted to believe the front that has been put up that this is some smalltime operation that "needs" your free labor. Remember that part where I explained that we knew this? Also, Listnook doesn't put up the front that it is small time, this idea of Listnook is completely made up by Listnookors themselves. While yes, Listnook might use that to their advantage, it is only a logical business decision, and it also keeps Listnook running *free to browse*. We don't pay for Listnook, or anything that makes up Listnook, yes, we pay for our internet service, but if I didn't pay for internet service, Listnook would still exist. I understand Listnook needs visitors, but, lets not kid eachother, you need Listnook as much as it needs you, now. To be honest on all fronts here, the facts are: Even if Listnook were a pay-to-browse website, people would still spend their time helping them improve for free. Listnook doesn't express "Hey, we're small and need help" but they do take advantage of that idea that they are.

arof Nov 15, 2011 +14
Out of curiosity, is there currently any way for sublistnook moderators to set up different sidebar texts for different translations? Would be more work for translation crews, and the sublistnooks would have to set it up themselves, but it seems somewhat useless to have the rest of the site translated but leave those large blocks of text in English/whatever other default language the sublistnook is in.
14
kemitche Nov 15, 2011 +15
There is currently not, but that's an interesting idea.
15
Sachyriel Nov 16, 2011 +2
It might be better if the Sidebar just linked to an imgur picture of the translation of the sidebar? I mean, most of the sidebar in English but after the sidebar's english there could be links to a translations to a language with only a minimal space needed to say "French" or "Spanish" of the above. While you can't highlight words in images it would be a step in the right direction.

I have volunteered to translate a total of 5 times in the last two years. NEVER heard back. Glad to see this is finally being looked into.

kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +5
Very sorry about that! The requests sent previously were shamefully ignored for far too long (of course, the admins at the time did have important issues on their hands, such as making the site not crash completely). I plan to be much better about it.
5
[deleted] Nov 16, 2011 +8
Una sugerencia a los usuarios de Listnook: Que los que escriban las traducciónes sean hablantes nativos de su idioma ya que sucede que generalmente existen personas que cometen problemas pequeños pero que para un hablante nativo pueden ser vergonsos u objeto de burla. (Ej: Decir ''cerveza es bueno'' es incorrecto, pero decir ''la cerveza es buena'' es correcto) ----------------------------- I think that the people that works in the translations should be native speakers because generally there's people that make little mistakes but for native speakers they can be embarrasing or a reason to laugh. BTW I don't want to work on translations because I'm lasy sorry :P
8
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +3
Native speakers are, of course, preferred. But non-native speakers are still valued, for example, when we don't have a volunteer for that language, or as a way to get preliminary translations done and then have a native simply verify/correct

Baukelien Nov 16, 2011 +5
The Dutch translation is awful but can't really be fixed by users. It says stuff like "Reden een listnook aan te maken 11" i.e. "Reason a listnook to make 11" of course I don't know what 'reason 11' is so I can't offer you a better translation except tell you that the current one is just idiotic.
5
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +3
The original intent of those strings was for the translator to make up their own reason (there's no need for 1:1 translations on them; just something suitable that sounds good in that language). Funny that the current Dutch translation took that literally.
3
Guybrush_Threepwood Nov 16, 2011 +2
If you really want people to get involved into this, you should do it incredible easy to help. For instance set up a page where you choose a language and then it throws random strings that need translations and a box for writing the translation. Finally make it export a .PO with all the translated strings that got more than 5 (?) equal translations. Doing said page shouldn't take long, there are lots of people around here that will volunteer including me for writing it. tl;dr: if you want people to get involved in a massive way, copy Re-Captcha model.
2
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +3
Clever, I'll consider it! I do want to make it easy, but I'm also playing this by ear. Based on the usage of the "volunteer to translate" link, the bottleneck is most likely going to be the amount of time I have to put into it, not the number of volunteers. Your suggestion, of course, helps both sides.
3
[deleted] Nov 16, 2011 +2
I don't care for this one bit. I absolutely hate it when sites or software automatically go to a version that is in butchered German. Americans, Brits and other native English speaker, please! leave your stuff in English or do it a 100% (that usually means letting native speaker do it and adjusting the layout to fix the different text sizes)
2
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +2
We don't have any plans to force a language on you automatically. The default will continue to be English, and we'll continue to offer the option to, if desired, use a different translation - and here I'm simply promising that if you find an issue with a translation, I'll get it corrected.

kemitche Nov 15, 2011 +4
Complete fluency isn't necessarily required - much of our UI is simple phrases. You probably need to know more than just a handful of words, of course.
4
aPriest Nov 16, 2011 +7
I understand what you're saying, but saying fluency isn't required for your TRANSLATORS defeats the purpose. Google translate becomes a good alternative at that point, and certain nuances of the language are missed, e.g. your title, lol.
7
kemitche Nov 16, 2011 +3
Fluency, yes. "Complete" fluency, not necessarily. It's a fine line, but it's hard for me to judge when you say "I'm not /fluent/ per se".

I agree with what others have said. Listnook is a big profitable site. Hire your own Danny translators and stop skeezing your customers for free labor. Who's idea was this anyway? First bullshit listnook gold (which is craps btw, I had it for a month and didn't even know the difference). All I see listnook doing with its users is take take take. All that great content? It has nothing to do with listnook or its employees. Mark my words, another site will come soon and eat Listnooks lunch. Then listnook will really need some free labor.

**Vayanse al infierno.** Este sitio es propiedad de una corporación. Pueden pagar traductores sin problema ninguno. Que ponga más dinero Conde Nast si quieren expandir el sitio a otros demográficos. Este sitio puede sobrevivir perfectamente bien con la lectura de los angloparlantes; pues es uno de los idiomas más hablados del mundo. Que reciba más o menos del presupuesto anual no es relevante. El día que el sitio no sea rentable o no genere lo suficiente para pagarse, o Conde Nast lo apoyará y destinará más fondos, o lo venderá. El hecho, es que sigue siendo financiado por una corporación. Cáguense y paguen a traductores.

For a long time my pocket english reference was like: "Estoy hecho bolsa" = "I'm made bag". "Sos boleta" ="You are ticket" . "Que cara está la cebolla" = "What face is the onion!". "Pase nomás y tome una silla" = "Skip no more and drink a chair". "Los porteños son todos putos" = "People from Buenos Aires are very kind".

Spanish= Un rato, las administraciones de listnook tuvieron preocupaciones que más apretando que manteniéndose al ritmo de fechar en traducciones (como mantener los servidores arriba). Ahora, nosotros todavía hemos conseguido el hipo ocasional de servidor, pero nosotros también hemos conseguido la mano de obra para manejar aceptando ayuda con traducciones otra vez. Para reiniciar ese esfuerzo, yo querría anunciar que un nuevo sublistnook para actuar como el lugar para ir con preguntas acerca de traducir listnook, y acerca de las ofertas de ayuda: /R/i18n. ¿Ve una falta de ortografía secundaria en la traducción italiana? ¿Interesó a ayudar a traducir las nuevas características que hemos estado agregando? /R/i18n será el lugar de ir a ayudar. Para el ambicioso entre usted, yo también le favorezco a zambullir directamente en al depósito del imbécil listnook-i18n. Si sabe de archivos de imbécil y po, debe tener todo que usted debe empezar. Si no, comienzo que hace preguntas en /r/i18n. French= Un peu, les administrations de listnook ont eu inquiétudes plus des de presse que maintenir se dater sur les traductions (comme garder les serveurs sur). Maintenant, nous avons obtenu toujours le hoquet occasionnel de serveur, mais nous avons obtenu aussi la main-d'oeuvre pour contrôler acceptant l'aide avec les traductions encore. Pour redémarrer cet effort, j'aimerais annoncer un nouveau sublistnook pour servir du lieu pour aller avec les questions de traduire de listnook, et les offres d'assistance : /R/i18n. Voit une erreur d'orthographe de mineur dans la traduction italienne ? Intéressé dans aider traduit les nouvelles caractéristiques que nous avons ajouté ? /R/i18n sera le lieu pour aller aider. Pour l'ambitieux parmi vous, je vous encourage aussi directement à plonger en au listnook-i18n dépôt d'idiot. Si vous savez des dossiers d'idiot et po, vous devriez tout avoir vous avez besoin d'être commencé. Si non, commencer à demander des questions dans /r/i18n. Chinese= 一陣子， listnook 管理員有更緊迫的關心比保管最新在翻譯上（例如保持伺服器）。現在，我們還得了偶爾的伺服器打嗝，但是我們也將人力送到了再接受在翻譯方面的幫助的把手。若要重新啟動那種努力，我想宣布一新 sublistnook 充當跟關於翻譯 listnook 的問題一起去的地方，協助的提供：/r/i18n. 看到在義大利轉換中的一個次要招致錯誤？有興趣幫助翻譯我們一直在加的新特徵？/r/i18n 將是地方要去幫助。對雄心勃勃在你中間，我也鼓勵你直接全心投入到 listnook-i18n 的澆鑄溝倉儲。如果你瞭解澆鑄溝和 po 檔案，你應該有一切你必須開始。如果不，在 /r/i18n 中提出問題的開始。 German= Für eine Weile haben die listnook Admin dringendere Angelegenheiten als gehabt aufrechtzuerhalten, auf Übersetzungen (wie zum Beispiel Behalten der Diener auf) zu datieren. Jetzt haben wir noch den gelegentlichen Dienerschluckauf erhalten, aber wir haben auch die Arbeitskräfte erhalten, zu behandeln, nehmend Hilfe mit Übersetzungen wieder an. Um zu laden, wieder jene Bemühung, möchte ich einen neuen sublistnook ankündigen zu handeln als der Ort, zu Fragen um Übersetzen listnook zu passen, und Angebote der Hilfe: /R/i18n. Sieht einen Minderjährigen Schreibfehler in der italienischen Übersetzung?

Für das strebsame unter Ihnen, ermutige ich auch Sie direkt, zur listnook-i18n git Quelle hineinzuspringen. Wenn Sie um git und Podateien wissen, sollten Sie alles haben, das Sie angefangen werden müssen. Wenn nicht, Anfang stellend Fragen in /r/i18n.

I'm learning Spanish right now, so it would be beneficial for me to check out that listnook, but beneficial to others who are also learning :) I'm no expert for translations though, just occasional tips. For example, instead of "Nos ayudan" it should be "Ayúdennos", which is a subjunctive conjugation vs a present-tense conjugation. *EDIT* I meant I could help others and contribute, but not much.

For a while now, I've being studying my German. I've been meaning to ask the translation for "What's new" is "Was neu ist?" I'm fairly certain that is completely wrong unless this happens to be a valid sentence formation to emphasize "neu". Though I doubt it. Same thing for "Was ist beliebt?". Since Im here might as well ask any natives what they think..?
