We have recently made efforts to improve the translation experience. Currently we translate three separate resource files, which causes certain phrases to be translated multiple times and often in different ways. To make sure translators do not waste their time translating the same phrase multiple times, we will be moving to a single resource file before Christmas. For that move to happen, we need your help.
If you are native or fluent in one of the languages listed below, you could be of great help to us by choosing the right translations among the duplicates or re-translating phrases if necessary. You can make these changes directly in Transifex. If there are phrases that cannot be unified due to missing context that we should add, let us know.
I recommend to translate by copying the English phrase into Transifex (with exact matching), filtering to only show the resources ‘core.react.js’, ‘core.js’ and ‘core.py’ and then changing all the translations to be the same. See image below for an example where there are different translations for the same phrase/word:
In the attached log file below you will see all the phrases that need fixing. (Updated on 04/12/2024) duplicates.log (47.1 KB)
During translation, please refer to our Glossary (see image below, top right). When introducing new words or when you find them not to be descriptive enough, we would appreciate updating the glossary accordingly. You can also find the entire glossary by going to the side-menu and going to the ‘Glossaries’ tab.
I fixed the Russian translation ambiguity where it was possible.
Title - requires context, as it could mean header/name or salutation.
None - requires context, as it could mean no, nobody, nothing, empty, etc.
Some suggestions for german fixes (The other ones need a bit more thought)

I think some context could be used to better understand the meaning:
Disabled sections, do you mean in a software- or a physical disability context?
Judgement, what is meant by this? (apologies as I don’t use indico that often)
Event role, is this a role attributed to a user (for an event) or a role attributed to the event itself?
@akustra I tried to contribute to the French translation using Transifex but I don’t manage to see the current translation in the translation editor… What am I doing wrong?
Does that not look the same for you? I noticed in the past that with a bad network connection (like in a hotel or train), the translations are not visible immediately, likely due to the dynamic construction of the contents. Did you try from your lab?
I am in Saclay tomorrow and Jussieu on Wednesday. If you want, we can meet somewhere in between and have a look together with your account, @Michel_Jouvin.
Thanks. Yes I was able to see the same as your example but I thought it was possible to see all the translations for one word/expression from the 3 resources mentioned by @akustra and update those requiring to be updated. Going source by source to check the various words is a little bit painful. And the screenshot from @akustra suggests it is possible but I select “Lexicons” in the main menu, I see all the expected entries but they are said to be untranslated… I probably do something wrong…
Let’s assume you want to see all chains containing the word “comment” (the first “duplicate” in the fr_FR list according to the duplicates.log file). Select “All resources” in the top line of the screen and filter text:comment like this:
Does that make do for you?
“comment (noun)” and “comment (verb)” are indeed translated differently in french (commentaire, commenter). So it is not surprising that they appear in the list like this.
@akustra, @troun, a long time ago we had recommended that the glossary for each language be filled accordingly to take into account these specifics in a uniform way. The glossary interface has changed since then. (It is very similar to the translation interface now.) But here is an example of disambiguation for “review” in french:
As translators will see the glossary contents (at the very right of the screen), they are supposed to follow the guidance (or complete, if it does not exist), in order to have future translations of similar terms by other users done in a coherent way.

And the same suggestion for zh_Hans_CN.
However, I think both translations are bad in some items. It reads like a machine translation. For example, There is already a registration with this email address.: ['此邮件地址的注册已存在。', '已存在具有此电子邮件地址的注册。'] , it is better to translate it as 此邮箱已被注册 or 此电子邮件地址已被注册.
In the link I shared it already filters the relevant resources for french and specifically looks for exact matches for the word review. To fix each translation, simply modify the text between the brackets [] inside the input field and you will see duplicates.
To achieve this manually instead, do the following;
Go to the editor of the French translations in Transifex and make sure you select All resources on the left.
Then click on the Text filter and in the input field write [...], where ... is any literal English word that is to be translated. In our case that will be one of the duplicates. Keep the square brackets for exact matching, although this does not take into account different types of capitalization.
As @dirk stated, in our duplicates.log file we do not differentiate properly between for example nouns and verbs and we will need to fix that by adding context to the english phrases ourselves. The word review in French is indeed an example of that.
You are indeed correct, our duplicates.log file does not take into account the context we added in the glossaries and we will be fixing that soon by adding context ourselves to the English translations. I have adjusted the description of this post to mention the need for adjusting the glossary wherever necessary.
