German translations for psppire

[Andreas Steichardt]

Hi,

i just found out that there is a new version of PSPP out there. GREAT :D

Although i will most likely use the console stuff i had a quick look at the
new UI. Somehow it seems to look quite similar to that of a commercial app ;)

Unfortunately the german translations are making it unusable for me :( (as
stated in the Disclaimer of the po ;) ). I stumpled upon an error and
couldn't understand what it was trying to tell me :(.

So i had a quick look at the german po file and fixed (at least tried to) some
of the translations. Beware. I just did it in the file without checking any
context so some of my "fixes" may likely be new errors. Furthermore i didn't
touch most of the menu stuff (at least i assume that these were menu items
because of the underscore somewhere in the items).

This was actually the first time i ever edited a po file and i did it without
any tools (vim ;) ).

Furthermore my changes didn't have any effect after a recompile :S

As i said. Never did anything with po files :(.

My suggestion would be to remove the german translations until you find a
language enthutiast. As you are doing a clone of some commercial app (which i
very, very, very seldom use - and do not have at home) the user might want to
have the same wording in psppire as well as in this commercial app. That's
why i didn't touch the menu items. Most germans are quite firm in english
(and probably 100% of the potential german users of psppire) so the removal
wouldn't even harm.

But if you want to stick to the german translations my diff might be (at least
a bit) useful. I didn't touch "Stecken" although it is completely broken
german ;). It should be "Einfügen" but all cases i found seemed to be menu
items - so i didn't touch them.

Hopefully the translator(s?) don't take my comments personally. German is a
difficult language compared to english and translating a very special
software with many Fachausdrücken (see - dunno evn know the english word ;) )
is probably the hardest job to do and my french would beat your german VERY
easily ;) Furthermore many of the Fachausdrücke shouldn't even be translated
as they made their way into the german (researchers) language.

As i said, my suggestion is to simply remove it as it is not really needed but
makes it unusable for a german user currently :S.

Please CC me (in case you even want to answer) as i am not subscribed to this  
list. Flamings accepted ;)

The attached diff is against the 0.6.0 tarball. Couldn't check wether this is
fixed in the development version as i am too incompetent to use git ;)

Kind regards,

        Andreas Streichardt

I can quite understand that.  My primary motive for adding a this
localisation was so that during development I could tell whether
psppire was correctly responding to the locale settings, and German
happens to be the only other language which I have any inkling of.
Future versions will allow separate languages for the user interface
and the output, so that Germans can prepare statistical reports for
publication in Spanish journals etc.
     
     This was actually the first time i ever edited a po file and i did it without
     any tools (vim ;) ).


I use emacs po mode.  But there is also poedit in the GNOME suite,
which is quite good.  On the other hand vim should be fine too if you
don't forget to close quotes etc.
     
     Hopefully the translator(s?) don't take my comments personally. German is a
     difficult language compared to english

I really need to go back to school and brush up my German.  On the one
hand German is one of the easiest languages for an English speaker to
learn, since English is a descendent.  German has to be the most
regular of all languages (except Esperanto).  On the other hand,
having 3 genders, 3 vocatives at least 4 noun cases and the fact that
verbs always come at the end of sentences (and in the case of compound
sentences, sub-clauses get inserted in the middle) makes it hard to string a
non-trivial sentence together.  See Mark Twain's view on the this
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/texts/twain.german.html

      and translating a very special
     software with many Fachausdr?cken (see - dunno evn know the
     english word ;) )

"specialist terminology" ?

     is probably the hardest job to do and my french would beat your german VERY
     easily ;) Furthermore many of the Fachausdr?cke shouldn't even be translated
     as they made their way into the german (researchers) language.

     
     As i said, my suggestion is to simply remove it as it is not really needed but
     makes it unusable for a german user currently :S.

I agree.  A poor translation is worse than no translation.

I suggest what we do is to incorporate Andreas' patch, and also to
remove de from po/LINGUAS until such time as a native German speaker
wants to come forward and maintain a localisation.

An alternative way to test localization support would be to use
one of the programs that do automatic translation into a fake
language, e.g. I believe that Red Hat once offered Pig Latin as a
"language".

Thank you for providing some help with the German translations.
Before we can use them, we will need a little bit of paperwork to
be filled out, to ensure that the FSF has proper rights to the
changes that you made.  There is information on what to do and
why it is necessary here:
        http://translationproject.org/html/whydisclaim.html

Thanks!

John, are you OK with this suggestion?  I think that the only
thing necessary to implement it is to remove "de" from po/LINGUAS
and, optionally, remove po/de.po.  Would you mind if I did that?

Thanks,

Ben.

What we'd need would be a program which takes pspp.pot and
automatically "translates" each string into pig latin.  So far I
haven't been able to find a program to do that --- it shouldn't be too
hard to write one.

Here's a try.  Invoke from 'po' directory as:
        msginit < pspp.pot -o - -l en_US@... --no-translator | pigpo.pl > en_US@...

I found this interesting tidbit on the wikipedia page for pig
latin:
    Australia's use of Pig Latin is generally associated with the
    'lad' culture of Western Sydney and Northern
    Melbourne. "Lads" and "Lasses" use pig latin to fool
    authority figures and to cause public nuisance.
In the US, it's usually just kids having fun.
