[Plugin] Eneroth Railroad System (v 0.1.21)

As a side note to this excellent plugin, it is incredibly hard to make accurate translations of technical language. Not only do you need to be fluent in both languages you also need to be fluent in the relivant jargon of the technology involved. I speak 6 languages and can order a beer in several others but I haven't joined any of the foreign language sections because I know how easy it is to get it all screwed up. My wife works as a similtanious translator in 3 languages and she has translated quite a number of help files/user manuals etc and even she has problems to get it right. We often spend hours rereading and discussing the nuances of phrases and words that can have a multitude of meaning and therefore an almost infinite number of possible target words.
You must understand what needs to be said in both languages, if you aren't fluent in one it will be wrong!

This is very true and one of the reasons I from the start was quite unsure whether I wanted it translated or not. I've tried to explain in my post how important it is to look at the text in its context but I don't know if everyone understood.

I don't know how to say this.
I don't want you to fix the examples I give you of what is wrong. They are examples to show you that you clearly do not understand what you are trying to translate. You don't seem to understand English. I don't know if you batter the text through Google Translate or what you do with it but it's like you don't even read it. Words mean totally different things in different contexts. Canceling a meeting and canceling a dialog are for instance different things. If you do not even recognize these terms I do dot trust any phrase you have translated. Your translation attempts are only causing me problems. Sorry.

You have a simple thing to do!
Find someone who speaks French around you and ask him to see theREMOVED LINKor French Interface!Will you never understand? You are incompetent!
There are still loads of errors in the documentation I've told you about that are still not fixed so no, I will not show it to a French person and let them judge because I know for myself that it is shit.

Will be updated when the original will be updated!
Something that you don't understand
A documentation even insufficient at your point of view, is fully sufficient for take in hand your very cool plugin for someone who is anglophobic!
I know I am incompetent from more than half a century and hundred of translations! -

they have read your manual and have try to do anything. some things go without problems. however when she want go in the deep they must read the english manual.Please stop the translation. you will nobody help. not your friends and not new french users.
eneroth have spend many time to write this manual. and i must say. i dont need a translation in german.
eneroth spend to many energy about your translation. she need this energy to write the plugin.you mean this well, however this is completly unnecessary.
try to design any rolling stock or cars or what ever, i think you can show us your ability.
i hope you understand well what i write and what have written by eneroth .

I'm working on making the documentation for custom track types easier to understand with images explaining how to draw extrusion profiles and such. However I ran into an issue at the naming convention of tracks. Tunnels' and bridges' name should start with "Tunnel" or "Bridge" to make them easier to find in the alphabetic track type list. However I don't know what label I should use for ground level tracks. Any ideas? Something telling it's ground level or normal or without additional structures expect for the track bed. I think there are some real train geeks in the thread
.Also I'm adding a copyright note in the documentation saying it's not allowed to be modified, including, translated without my permission. Pilou's awful piece of crap-shit so called "translation"-rubbish-poop will need to be taken down from the Internet because it's a copyright infringement and breaks international copyright law.

hi rich
what links you have removed?
regards dean

+1 on Rich's statement.
This is enough and it's becoming extremely annoying and boring...
I don't think that Pilou needs a lawyer, but still I do not understand and justify this obstinacy and this insulting language against him. -
double post

ground level tracks= street track (like for tram) or Tram Track
Tracks with cantenary etc.
Edit:
tracks without ballast.
you can work with code numbers too. 3 or 4 digitsnumbers will be used by all languages.
ene_1000_001_00 default with wooden sleepers
ene_1000_002_00 default with concrete sleepers
ene_1000_002_01 default with concrete sleepers and catenarytrack with buildings like plateform
loading rampene_se_1000_002_01 sweden default with concrete sleepers and catenary
ene_es_1000_002_01 spain default with concrete sleepers and catenary
...1000=default track
1001= Tramtrack
1003= bridge
1004=tunnel...
streets begin with 1
2000
2001runway 2
3000
3001waterway 3
4000
4001combinations
track and street
5000

No issue with your links
But try resolve this privately if possible.
It is not a healthy public discussion and largely a misunderstanding.
