Default Greetings Cards Postal System - Translation Help Required
Since the Postal System is there to allow others to make cards, I think it's a worthwhile one to try to get translated. These are the languages I would like to get translations for.
  • French - provided by pixelhate (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • German - provided by Scissor Look (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Italian - provided by Numenor (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Spanish - provided by -_Elyon_- (now part of uploaded object - 22Feb2010)
  • Dutch - provided by leesester (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Russian - provided by Love321 (now part of uploaded object - 22Feb2010)
  • Portuguese - provided by ABCRic (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Danish - provided by Sims2pigen (now part of uploaded object - 22Feb2010)
  • Swedish - provided by satinn (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Norwegian
  • Finnish - provided by kagemusha (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Polish - provided by Beata125 (now part of uploaded object - 16Jan2010)
  • Thai
  • Czech
  • Hungarian
  • Brazilian Portuguese - provide by Nandonalt (now part of uploaded object - 22Feb2010)
  • Japanese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Korean

Given that English is the only spoken language I can really lay claim too (I know lots of programming languages but they don't really help me on this one!) I would be most grateful if there were any of you out there that were able to provide translations for me. I will give credit to any people who help, in my object thread posting.

The text strings that need to be translated are as follows:-

Which is the better of the two choices would you say:-
"Envoyer Noël à Morag"
"Envoyer Un heureux évènement à Morag"
*OR*
"Envoyer une carte de Noël à Morag"
"Envoyer une carte de Un heureux évènement à Morag"

i.e. going without it or adding the "une carte de" to the "Envoyer & à"? You've given me the former - can I assume that is the least bad?

Russian version will be a total mess if you insert a card type instead of *&*

Also some words in Russian translation posted above are incorrect

I can provide corrections if you can change the sequence of words.There should be *Send Card &* instead of *Send & Card*

Of course - changing the order of words will be perfectly fine. The & is there for me to indicate there is an insert and for you when translating to indicate when the insert goes in the new text. If you can do it like that it would be perfect. There are other languages already that did exactly that. Grammer is different everywhere!!

Thank you so much.

Default Czech translation
Hi, I wanted to help you with the Czech translations, but I'm having a bit of difficulty with the card inserts. Our language is weird (compared to others) and complicated, so "Send & Card" (or "Send Card &") will not fit every insert. That's why I wanted to ask, if you are able to make different action strings for some of the inserts?

And I wanted to ask, how is "Send & Card" displayed? I haven't had the chance to try your mod out yet. Is it like Send "Mother's Day" Card or Send Mother's Day Card or something else?

Call me Dana. :)

There is only one string with "Send & Card", but we can take some liberties with the insert - we had to for French because some were masculine nouns and some feminine (??).

There are no quotes - although if it helps - we could have them on the Czech inserts. Alternatively, would "Send a Card of type &" work better for Czech? Or something similar? Given the restrictions of one Action string, and many inserts you can change the text around as much as you need.

If this means you need slightly different inserts for the "Send Card &" versus the "Buy Greetings Cards..." that is also fine - we had to do that for French. I had originally hoped to only have one set of insert strings in the two objects, but couldn't make it work, and then French had the requirement for them to be different so that was fine in the end.

Get back to me if more help required or if I'm not making any sense!

Cheers
Mog
