I inserted the following ticket in NSIS’ feature request.
https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/feature-requests/564/

@vadim-repin ,

According to https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/installer/nativeLang/russian.xml, github user GOLEM777 seems to be the lead for the Russian translation.

You might want to try to contact them, and see if they agree with you (they seem to be pretty prompt about a new Russian translation a few weeks after the release, so there’s probably going to be a v8.2 translation update in the near future)

@alan-kilborn
It’s just a documentation for me. Kind of logging my work to here. It’s about to provide some consistency for Hungarian translation, so Hungarian users could see it’s maintained.

And I put the Pull Request numbers references here so later I can easily find them in GITHUB.

I keep track more detailed on my webpage here, but it’s most probably not read by anybody. :)

In addition, this could be a place to discuss if any Hungarian user has an issue. But nobody complained here so far. :)

@Alan-Kilborn
Hello, thank you for your reply.

I would like to contact the regular Spanish language translator but I don’t know where to get that information.

Translations are a hobby for me. And if I can also contribute something to improve the program, so much the better.

And to add screenshots of translation errors, where can I put them?

Sorry for my inexperience in all this.

Regards

Hola, gracias por la respuesta.

Quisiera contactar con el traductor regular del idioma español pero no sé dónde obtener esa información.

Las traducciones son un pasatiempo para mí. Y si además puedo aportar algo para mejorar el programa, pues mejor.

Y para añadir capturas de errores de traducción, dónde las puedo poner?

Perdón por mi inexperiencia en todo esto.

Saludos

@guy038 thank you, I appreciate your help, I couldn’t do it even though I tried, the community will thank you

@astrosofista Thanks, its as you say man!

@claudio-pergolin

Well, that’s a start, but it really needs to be on github; see the instructions provided here for a bug report: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request-or-bug-report

Also, you should provide the screenshot showing the poor text, and then state what you think good text should be.
Saying something like “incorrect and non-exhaustive” doesn’t really help.
Make definite suggestions!

@PeterJones Thank you for your quick reply. I honestly wasn’t expecting a reply at all. I will work on the localization. Once done hopefully we can upload it for the community, as well. Just to make sure this is not a matter of preference of writing in different scripts, I want to clear some aspects. The Latin-script Kurdish is called Kurmanji or Northern Kurdish and the Arabic-script Kurdish is called Sorani or Central Kurdish. They are sometimes listed as dialects and sometimes as different languages. If and when the localization is done hopefully we can rename the language so as not to confuse other people.

@walid-the-first ,

Sorry, I see that no one has replied to you yet. I have a feeling that many people from this forum have been busy with the festive season, and then lost track that this question hadn’t been answered yet. Part of the reason for my reply is just to “bump” this topic, to see if it can get more attention.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with Arabic text, and am not qualified to comment on how the mix of Arabic and English text is handled.

It might be useful if you typed or pasted in an example of the text, selecting the text, and using the forum’s </> button to mark that as plain text. Then paste a screenshot from an application (like Windows’ notepad.exe or something else) that does it “right”, compared to a screenshot from Notepad++ where it is “wrong”.

@Fred-Fredagrico ,

Out of curiosity, did you translate the CHM that came with ancient versions of Notepad++? Or did you translate the new npp-user-manual.org website into Spanish, then compile it into a CHM file?

I ask, because I cannot remember the last time CHM was included. And I don’t think a CHM or HTML manual has been distributed with Notepad++ since before v7.0 in 2016 (the most recent version I have with an HTML manual was v6.6.6). If you’re translating that, it’s extremely out of date.

If, however, you’ve translated the npp-user-manual.org website and compiled it into CHM, I would be interesting to know that’s what you’ve done.

@Радмир-Чуриков said in Add а Bashkir language to the app's localizations:

The Bashkir language is a regional language of Russia. It is native to about 2 million people. The official language of the Republic of Bashkortostan, which is part of Russia.

If you know Bashkir, feel free to create the translation file and submit a PR to have it included in the next release. Or find someone who can help you with that.

Otherwise, the developers cannot be expected to know of and be fluent enough in any possible language to provide a translation. The developers rely upon user support for the translations.

Here’s another status-bar note: The Sel area looks like it could be getting some enhancement soon. See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8524

Maybe get your opinion in there on how Sel should be translated into German. :-)

Nice to hear it, @Seanán-Ó-Coistín.
You can send Irish translation to me, or do a PR on https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus

Thank you.

@gurikbal-singh said in new localization in venetian:

@Matteo-Concato
by an pull request at github https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pulls

Can this be done for any language?

@Alan-Kilborn said in Please add Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian translations:

You should add the link to that here.

Here it is:

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8226

I opened the issue 8004

I added also some translation problems with the Updater.
