Translators still needed !

Post by John - Tracker Supp »

Hi,

we are still looking for volunteers to translate the PDF-XChange product line to numerous other languages.

If you don't see a localization for your native language - we would welcome your help and support to extend those currently available.

As an incentive - we will provide a full free License for any PDF-XChange product that you translate!

To download the tools to do so (they include a full help file and are very simple to use) please go here :

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/translation_tools

You may wish to check if your language file is already in progress first by emailing us at usrfiles@tracker-software.com

Thank you !
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Hi helvib,

Please do, and once ready do send your translation to support@pdf-xchange.com
We will then make sure to Thank You in the way John promised in the first post!

And if you have any troubles, or are not sure of the use of a particular phrase or it's context you could always write to us in support, or open a new topic in the forums - lets keep this topic clear.

Hello there,
Firstly, thanks for this great software. I've been using it for a long time, and I am really thankful for all your efforts, keeping it such neat and clean - in the free version, too. I am currently in the academia and doing my best to promote xchange viewer to as many fellows as possible. This is a god-send software for those in the academia, dealing with all sorts of pdfs, so thanks again (sorry if this sounds too much, but this is my fist post and I just wanted to express my gratitude in this first post- really! :) )
So, I'd be more than glad to translate it into Turkish, if you like, please let me know.

All the best,
Umut

Hello
I found some little errors into the italian file and i have corrected them.
The only problem is that the file is very huge and i haven't enough time to check it for all the errors and adding the new lines.
Any cooperation is appreciated.

We will now include your updated translation with the next build.
As for the help and cooperation, we are relying on you our users as none of us is natively speaking Italian (or quite some of the other available languages).

HI again Aeolis,

it seems the Brazilian Portuguese translation has not been updated in a while so you are more than welcome to take this on.

Look here for the translation tools: http://www.docu-track.com/translation_tools and look in the install folder for the current brazillian Language file. The default installation folder is C:\Tracker Software\Tracker - Language Tool V2\ and you'll find the language files in sub-folders of this directory.

There is included documentation.

good luck,
Best regards

Dear Paul,

I have started the translation process. But it will take some time, as the language file is very big. So, I ask you; after I have finished the translation process, to whom should I send the translated file?
If you have other suggestions, notes or advises about the translation process, please, share them with me.

See you later,

Aeolis

Hi again Aeolis

as a volunteer you get to choose your own time line here... :wink:

Being fluent only in English I personally have never done a translation so I don't have a great deal of advice at this point I'm afraid, however if you have any issues or questions that crop up along the way please feel free to send an email to [url=mailto://support@pdf-xchange.com]support@pdf-xchange.com[/url] and we'll attend to your question promptly.

We prefer it when a translator can not only perform a translation but maintain it as well. This makes for better consistency in the product than if we were to be constantly changing translators so please consider this as you take this on.

When complete send the file to the same address and we will see to it that it is included int he subsequent release and 'compensation' delivered.

sincerely
Best regards

Hello folks,

Dear Paul, I have to ask and inform the following:

1) Please, could you send me by e-mail (or attaching to this thread) the .xml file of latest version of PDF-XChange PDF Viewer? I mean the default (english) .xml file? I will work own it in my on way editing the .xml file with Notepad++. It's better and safer.

2) Your language translation tool is outdated (2007) and very buggy. I have lost the work of two days of translation because of it.

3) If you cannot send me the file for legal or personal reasons I will drop the translation process and quit the project. I really appreciate your software and your trust on me to translate your software, but I do work as a volunteer in a few software projects and, unfortunately, I could not cope with the translation tool bugs.

See you later,

Aeolis

Hi Aeolis,

I am very sorry to hear that you have lost work. I will touch base with the dev team around the translation tool. Can you provide any details on what happened? Was there an error message at all?

I will also see what I can come up with for the English file, the one in the downloaded tool should be the most recent but I will check and let you know if there is anything later.

I do appreciate that you are volunteering your time and would like to make is as simple as possible for you.

your patience is appreciated.

Hello folks,

Dear Paul, there were no error messages. The problem is with the "Strings" tab. Sometimes when I translate a string inside a sub-tab under "Strings" tab and switch to another sub-tab the previously translated string shows up in a string of the new sub-tab. This messed up with the translation because I have to re-translate the string again two or three times to it stay the way I want it translated. This is a random error and may happen in any sub-tab under the "Strings" tab.
I have started the translation process again and this time I started by the "Dialog" tab. Now I am keeping a backup copy of the .xml file every time I finish a set of strings.
I have a few suggestions:

1) Make the translation tool portable. I mean free of installation.
2) Make the auto-localize feature available for a sub-tab of strings too. It's very slow to auto-localize all strings under a sub-tab when we want to auto-localize a whole sub-tab and not just a few strings under that sub-tab.

See you later,

Aeolis

Thanks Aeolis,

those both seem to be very reasonable suggestions. I will be putting this to the dev team and management. I don't know how much time and resources would need to be devoted to making the toll portable or the changes to the tabs the way you suggested but I'm sure I will be informed...

I will let you know what results..

thanks again for your efforts. :)

something wrong with the tool.

i used the sorting function by click the column caption in the string list for rapid non-translated item location.
after i did the translation, the whole thing is into a mess.

i wish you understand me well.

Hi,

with the collaboration of other colleagues I am doing an extensive update of the Italian version, including the modification that other users (like Giacomo 2 years ago, who did a valuable work) did not do because of a lack of time.

Are you still interested in receiving it? And - in that case - may we upload it here?

Thanks for the offer and yes it would be best if you upload your changes here.
Currently I am working with another Italian that is almost done with the Viewer - he has just one last warning message to translate ;) but feel free to post your updates here as well!

Hello sergiol,

And thanks for your offer.
Yes we would love if you could update the Portuguese translation for the Viewer (the current one has not been updated for 5 months). You can download the language tools as per the Instructions in John's initial post and if you have any difficulties working with the tools - do not hesitate to open a new topic (let's keep this one focused on the actual translation files) and we will help as much as we can.

Best,
