so they should be fixed.

Hi,

I came across some UI strings that are either not or incorrectly translated in 2.8. They range from single strings to a whole dialog.

What are we supposed to do with them? Leave them in their wrong state in 2.8 or correct these bugs in 2.8 because nobody knows when 2.10 will be finally out?

I personally am for the latter alternative because I consider them as bugs.
What do you think?

Kind regards

Sven

Which strings and in which language, more specific please...

If you found that the strings are wrong and you think you know how to correct those strings then you can either:

- correct them right away or - file a bug

what's the problem?

You (we) can also try to contact last translators to exhort to update the translations but I think this is better done just (a couple of weeks? a month? We should leave the translators enough time to update...) before that comes out the new version. I think this should be done _every_ time that a new version is ready (string freeze). I do not know if this procedure is already in place...

I personally am for the latter alternative because I consider them as bugs.

I think too that it is a bug.

Please,

- consider that this is just an (my) opinion of a (translator) non-developer... - forgive my bad english

So am I, but my fixes of that kind were reverted the last and only time tried to do that :(

Based on this, what would be the point of fixing anything?

Is this thread about errors in strings in the GIMP source code, or about errors in the corresponding translations?

These are not translations.
IMHO usually in a stable branch corrections to the strings are due only to important bugs in the messages. Small corrections could always be committed to the master (dev) branch.

Forgive the bad english.

You need to be more specific.

Is this about not or wrongly translatED strings, or are these strings unstranslatABLE?

We can at any point fix or add translations without any restriction whatsoever.

If code changes are involved, the description "some strings" is not very helpful :)
