Subject: Some question to finish my translation
Hi,

I need some help to end my translation, there are some words/expression I don't understand :

1/ what "Dump ringbuf" means? I understand that Ringbuf is for Ring buffer but that don't help me

2/ is IQ for Intelligence Quotient? strange in XML console isn't it?

3/ what is exactly a "Stanza" I understand the word but not the meaning, which is quite difficult if I want to explain it to the user via the translation

I have only 14 strings left to translate and hope to have a little time to finish it this week.

Dump ringbuf shouldn't be in the 0.11 translation, I think (It's been added to 0.12 since release). Textshell will need to confirm (it's his feature), but I believe it pastes the last several xml stanzas received to the xml console.

IQ is an interactive stanza, it doesn't need to be translated I think, it refers to the protocol feature.

A stanza is a single item sent from the client to the server, or the server to the client.

Are you sure you are translating 0.11?

IQ should remain untranslated.

3/ what is exactly a "Stanza" I understand the word but not the meaning, which is quite difficult if I want to explain it to the user via the translation
See Kev's explanation. I would leave that untranslated (it's from the debug console anyway, people who don't know what a stanza is shouldn't use the debug console ;-))

ok thanks.

As I said in the lang-list I'm translating 0.12-dev because with the 0.11-tarball I miss nearly 450 strings and I don't know why.

I'll try again on thursday because it's a day without work here in France.

thanks remko

edit : but is it really dangerous to translate 0.12-dev and use it with 0.11?

Even with 'my' (textshell's) ts?

I don't know how to merge your ts with mine to update it.

I only know the process by configuring and lupdat-ing :)

edit : and what about my last edit? Is there any problem in using a 0.12-dev ts file with psi 0.11-final

That'll work as long as there are only strings added. I suspect no-one's changed strings since 0.11, but I'm not sure.

Just as a side note IQ stands for Info/Query.
