Translations

Post by ruic »

It seems this gentleman has solved the translations problems for his open source project. Maybe ReactOS could use his idea.

Online translators, like Bing/Google translator or Babel should ONLY be used if you want to grasp a general meaning of a text paragraph or a webpage, written in a language that is unknown to you. Such should NEVER EVER be used for any localisation purposes and NONE of such translation will ever be commited to ReactOS. I am more than fed up with what current device/gadget user manuals are nowadays, not to mention absolutely wrong and stupid auto-translations used in android market. This trash is creating such negative opinion on its author...

I would not have said better.

Thank you for this article. Now I know that I will use the english version of Paint.NEt (which is a very fine piece of software btw)
