there is  an encoding problem with your file, it's not in UTF8, can you resend with the right encoding please ? (more generally, we only work with UTF8 on all mozilla sites and products, which is also the default encoding for all current OSes)

Comment 4

I spotted a problem - the Download box on http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/gd
has a size issue (mostly to do with the length of Gaelic) but I also misinterpreted what's an imperative verb for a noun. Do I just change "Luchdadh a-nuas" to "Luchdaich a-nuas" in Verbatim? 

We also need to consider the width issue. We could shrink the text to "Luchdaich a-nuas an-asgaidh" but that would still be too long for the box. Could that be widened by any chance?

Comment 5

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

The box cannot be widened but the text can be made smaller in font size. 'Free Download' in the download box *is* a noun and not the imperative form of the Download verb. This string is in your main.lang file on svn. I can change it for you if necessary since you don't have svn access yet, I would suggest rephrasing it to be shorter in the box if possible.

Comment 6

[Michael Bauer]

Ok (re noun/verb). We'll have to reduce the font size then (similar to the Irish http://www.mozilla.com/ga-IE/); the shortest I can make the string without it becoming ambiguous is "Luchdadh a-nuas an-asgaidh", if you could change that that would be great. Hopefully that, at a slightly smaller font, will be short enough to fit.

The only other way would be to use a verb constructions along the lines of "Faigh e an-asgaidh" (Get it free) or something like that but that may be frowned upon, so perhaps better to try the other one first.

Cheers!

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

done in r70152, this is the bigger I can get while keeping the string on one line.

Comment 8

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

Michael, you files still have encoding problems, may I ask what text editor you are using ? It looks like it doesn't support UTF8 at all.

Comment 9

[Michael Bauer]

Font size is fine, thanks!

Is this were I learn some new swearwords from you because I've used MS WordPad?

Comment 10

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

Wow ! Please don't use Worpad or Microsoft Word or any word processor for text editing, they are really not suited for Mozilla work :)

Geany is a free simple and effective text editing sofware that exists for both Windows and Linux, you could use that: http://geany.org/

There are other good alternatives for Windows like Ultraedit or Notepad++

All those software have color syntaxing that makes working on html or dtd/properties files more easy and they have real native UTF8 support by default :)

Thanks

Ok, I stand corrected ;)

Used Geany, tell me it's kosher this time!

Comment 13

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

looks good now, marking fixed :)

Comment 14

[Michael Bauer]

Grand, many thanks!

Tiny point (for which I'm kicking myself) - could you remove a typo for me? Below the headline, last words "brabhsadh an lìon" should be "brabhsadh an lìn"

Very sorry but I find proofreading hard when the sentence breaks across screens!

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

typo fixed in r70183

Comment 16

[Michael Bauer]

According to http://l10n.mozilla.org/~pascalc/main_lang/index.php?locale=gd&site=0
there are four strings missing:
;MPEG-4 format
Fòrmat MPEG-4

;Ogg Theora format
Fòrmat Ogg Theora

;Watch the video
Coimhead air a' video

;WebM format
Fòrmat WebM

The 2 strings that are the same are fine that way.
