We applied over 3000 patches to add context definition for translators. The translators will need a while to update the translation again. This will only be more complete in digiKam-7.3.0.

Hello,

@ Gilles: thanks for the link.

But please let us come back to the translation problems in version 7.2.0.
With the official release of v7.2.0 the menu "Eintrag" (item) has 19 elements:
- 14 are displayed in English
-  5 are displayed in German.

Now I did the following test and took the official release digikam.po file and generated the corresponding digikam.mo file.
Here I used the convert-tool available at po2mo.net.

With this digikam.mo file for item "Eintrag"
- 16 elements are displayed in German
-  3 are displayed in English.

Not only that more elements are in German, also German elements of official release are now in English.

Strange! is'nt it?

Best regards
herb

Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2021-04-03 22:39:06 UTC

It will take a while, precisely because there are very few German translators. digiKam is difficult to translate due to its photo-technical terms. By adding a context, we made the previous translation invalid. For the future, however, it will help translators to better classify the meaning of the text.

Since I speak German natively, I plan to support the translators a little in the future when the translation code has moved to git. The translators are always looking for people who can help.
