If there is a translation it has to be 100% correct and not fool the user into problems with the plugin. However I don't see a very big need for it. Learning English, today's lingua franca, is a long term solution that is also very beneficial in other situations throughout life.

translation is on part, the translator must understand the subject,too.
i need only a translation, if the subject will be very difficult to understand.

difficult for me is the way to setup the rolling stock like the flying scotman.

That's also the part hardest to translate because if anything is not 100% perfect it will go wrong and not work. I might some day look into the docs and try to make it easier to understand with more images, perhaps even videos of certain steps. Perhaps there will even be a graphical interface in the distant future to initialize the moving parts more easily.

yes, one movie or picture tell more than thousand words.

Some Titles corrections You are very strict!

As the page text is some long, reader has forgotten the level of reading and me too!

Excuse for no reply before. All web dialogs work fine now on Mac 10.9.3 & SU2014, included "Insert Track".

One question, the Track Properties icon is off although you have selected a Track, you can to access to the Properties Track only by Contextual Menu.

To translate the web dialogs BGSketchup_Composants plugin have a file named Loacalization.rb that include all languages, I don't know the ruby code but perhaps this can be a solution to give support to translation.

With new version 1.11 on 2014 (previous version was fine)

Seems Connect Ends system from Selection between roads create rails!
Does this normal ?

And Add a Rolling Stock adds an image and not a volume!

No worry about not replying earlier:). It's good that the web dialogs work but I don't understand why it didn't for
mwm5053.

That's odd. Perhaps Mac doesn't run the Proc determining its state as often as Windows.

It's quite easy to just load strings in ruby from localized files but getting it into web dialogs that are saved as HTML documents is a bit tricker but there are solutions. However the names and description of track types would not b4e translated since that's custom often user created content.

So far default track is always used to connect other tracks. I really have no idea about the image though. Have you been renaming files in the rolling stock folder? Does it happen with other rolling stocks?

Edit: btw, the latest version is called 0.1.11, there will not be a 1.11[.someting] for a year or so.

i have try connect, too. however if i try to change the properties nothing happend in 2013.

Doesn't it work to open track properties and change track type after the track is connected?

deaneau

i have try connect, too. however if i try to change the properties nothing happend in 2013. than if i try to add road or track , nothing happend.
i have close the file.
if i open a new empty sketchupfile, i can´t set a track. i must restart sketchup.

It's not about remembering but about understanding what text is under what header. "rotation" for instance is a sub header of "Les pièces en mouvement" which is a sub header of "Dessin du Matériel roulant". Without this relation the text loses it's meaning.

I found some more errors. The path "r_stocks / " is wrong, there is no such folder. Also there is nothing called "Modifier les Textes" in the context menu of a rolling stock.

deaneau

@pilou****

the idea to translate the manual is a good idea, however only if this doesn´t produce errors and misstakes.

eneroth must invest more energy to correct your translations.
this is not the right way.

i would recommend to wait. could be, eneroth have a big change in the pipeline, than you must change all your text in the manual again and again etc..

No problem that is named a re-reading

For the path ...i don't know ?

"Change Texts" corrected But the French word was a synonym

Problem of the image against volume seems resolved by a mysterious reason!
(maybe conflict with another plugin...

Did you even read the text when translating it? You can't refer to a menu item by another name than what it actually says in the plugin. Regarding the path I have no idea why you changed it. It was already correct so there is no reason to write something else than it already says.

I still can't see any difference between the different headers such as "rotation" and "Les pièces en mouvement". I don't know why you had to change this either because the document was already formatted. You only had to change the text. There are many many more formatting errors such as "text_Label" where "Label" should be italic to show it's a variable while "text_" is a constant. You didn't need to change this either because it was already correct.

So far I've only looked at ONE page in the whole documentation but when I looked at the Balise page I noticed there are some random spaces in "m / s". It means meter divided by second and should not have spaces in it. It didn't have it before so I don't know why you added them. Also acceleration is not measured in "m/s2". It's measured in "m/s[sup:3o2e9utn]2[/sup:3o2e9utn]". It means meter divided by second squared - how much the velocity (m/s) changes per second ((m/s)/s). It was correct so there was no reason to change that either.

pilou

I will see that and have a little idea why this happened!

Drawing roads need a little training but funny to make!

I've also noticed you randomly color color names in the text as if the user didn't know what colors look like. This is done at the Coupling Tool page and the red back lights on trains at the Create Rolling Stock page. In the real documentation colors were only used for model axes to better explain what color corresponds to what axis name. Coloring other text is just confusing since it may lead the user to think it has to do with the model axes. Also you didn't even color the text with the color it says but used cyan where it says blue on the Coupling Tool page.
