340450 - NSIS has a poor Italian translation

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Michele Dal Corso]

NSIS is know to has a really poor Italian translation. 

In the past I corrected the language file for making Firebird installers (from Firebird Installer project http://seb.mozdev.org/firebird ) but since I am not an NSIS translator/contributor (and I don't want to be a translator/contributor of NSIS) I did not release the correction.

Please, could you replace the Italian translation file ( http://nsis.cvs.sourceforge.net/nsis/NSIS/Contrib/Language%20files/Italian.nlf ) in the Firefox build machine whith the attached one?

We would need a more detailed review of the italian translation for nsis to 
evaluate this. It may be good to have a diff of your version to the original
version, too.

Mainly I corrected translation style errors:

Lines from 73 to 83: the repeated sentence was translated literally from English and sounds odd (in Italian we don't start sentences with "Prego" - "Please", but with "Si prega". This conflicts with the actual Firefox translation.

Lines 87 and 95: the sentence contains redundant informations.

From 87 to 91, 97 to 101, 107 and 113: the sentence starts with an erroneous verb conjugation - first person instead of infinitive or third person. This is inchoerent in the file (other sentences has a right conjugation).

Lines 103, 109, 123, 125: the sentence contains a repetition.

Line 188: from International System of Units (SI) the kilo prefix should be lowercase (this is not only an Italian error. See for reference: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html )

We're not using the original NSIS localization files anymore, thus resolving WORKSFORME. Sorry for the bugspam.
