@ Pilou

if the english text begin with uppercase you must translate this in uppercase, too. look at your picture. i know in german is that the same. some words will written in lowercase. thats look better.

example:

Il fait mauvais temps.

It's foul weather today.

when the english text look like this

It's Foul Weather Today.

you must write

Il Fait Mauvais Temps.

Dean

p.s. i know this look terrible,
let eneroth smile and write this again

Ok About the Pop UP Menu
I will just add that to the Documentation

About the number of lines : no problem I have them! (même les lignes vides sont numérotées!

About the Cancel : that is made (But synonym

Wow! After reading these posts, this is one of the most promising productive plugins I have seen for Sketchup since I started using the software in 2009. Keep up the good work and someone will complete a whole Hollywood movie using your plug-in (with many others). I won't be able to do anything with it for the next few weeks but, this could be packaged with Vali Architects Instant Site Grader Nui and Plusspec to do a complete city. Awesome!

yes this look so marvelous. the horn sound a little bit hoarse.

You can all make models of these locomotives and share here . Remember that they might need to be quite low detailed to avoid lag, you can check out how the rolling stocks shipped with the plugin are drawn .

I really don't understand how you manage to get it wrong all the time. It's not a synonym. It's a translation of the word in another context. Another, faulty, word doesn't make sense. If the translation doesn't make sense it' to no help at all. It's only harming the plugin.

Also Apply seems to be translated to Appliquer in this context. Can you please explain how you managed to get completely different words? I really want to know because I just can't understand it. Have you never seen a dialog box like the one above?

pilou · 3 Jul 2014, 09:31

Sorry but in French It's strictely the same thing!
"Abandonner" = I close this dialog box and continue my way!

But don't worry that is not matter because i put your version for your pleasure!

eneroth3 · 3 Jul 2014, 09:44

It's not just about these 2 phrases. It's about everyone in the whole plugin (230 of them) and every sentence in the whole so called translation of the documentation.

If you run this in the console, what does it return?

UI.messagebox "TEXT", MB_YESNOCANCEL

It's not "strictly" the same. Different words are used in different contexts. It's strictly wrong with other inconsistent words.

I have no idea how you do it when you so called translate. When you see strings such as "OK", "Cancel" and "Apply" under the header "Web dialog buttons" in the dictionary file, how can you not recognize those words from similar dialogs?

Btw, you've also managed to color the x axis green several times in the so called translation of the documentation. That makes your statement that the so called translation is perfectly understandable to French people a lie.

is it possible to change the value m/s about more than 50m/s?
this would be great for take offs

I scaled the slider so it would be easier to run at low speeds at rail yards but you can enter much higher values in the text box .

I don't know if I should re-scale the slider so it can be used for high speed trains or perhaps even make it logarithmic or something so it can be used for both. That could however be less user intuitive when the user for instance want to double the speed and tries to drag the slider twice as far from its start.
