Hi,
I tried to post this on translation site crowdin to @4ian or to the Gdevelop community on crowdin but it didn’t work, so I copy it here.
I’m teaching Gdevelop to french kids, and I often fall on a translation problem and I believe it would be important to solve it for helping autonomy on the web for non english speakers :
On the web I find easily examples of events (conditions and actions) in English, but it is hard to know what their exact wording would be in French, so that kids can type it in their french editor.
- Do you know if a table of translations can be found here in crowdin (or elsewhere) to be made available for those who are looking for event wording translation ?
for instance if I see in an event :
condition > action
key … is pressed > rotate
I can translate it in French exactly into
condition > action
la touche … est appuyée > faire pivoter
and I would need a searchable table showing me these wordings.
This by the way shows an other translation issue : in french in the editor we read “faire pivoter”, but to enter that instruction we need to type “tourner” which is a synonim… very hard to guess
A great translation improvement would be to have the SAME word shown on event description and in steps to call for that instruction (hoping I’m understandable).
…and we could go further by using an easy order for event description, corresponding to the EXACT WORDING AND ORDER to use these words to call the instruction (for instance INPUT / Keyboard / Keypressed) (I posted that in Simplify the order of WORDS in the EVENT EDITOR so that it matches the order of CLICKS required to register the event )
Therefore, not waiting for the translations modifications, I propose to build a table of translation, easily available on the web, to easen all that.
I put an example here with 2sd and 4th columns : https://forum.gdevelop.io/uploads/default/original/3X/2/1/21a415a2710c1c83b1517912e21a2ead83f232de.png
(I also added other columns to know the steps to reach that instruction in the editor, because as I mentionned earlier that is not always obvious).
This main question has been posted on the forums but with no satisfying answer :
Where to find translation words or expressions in english and other language
and in french in:
Tableau multilingue - équivalence des noms d'événement dans différentes langues
I know this message is a bit dense, and I apologize for that.
to sumarise, in order to build the easy translation table :
Do you know it a table of French translations can be found here in crowdin (or elsewhere) detailling event wording translation (for instance “key … is pressed” becoming “la touche … est appuyée” ) ?
and translations of words used to reach to that event instruction (for instance INPUT/Keyboard/Keypressed becoming ENTREE ; Clavier ; touche_pressée ) ?
Thank you for letting me know where to look deeper for that, and thank you for that great open source GDevelop software
