"Ok" (in the Main site section) has wrong translation to Chinese. It was translated as "search".
Can you un-validate that translation, or just change it to "Ok" or "確定"?
Thanks.
Which chinese? :D
When reporting a string to fix, please indicate "language / English string / current translation / correct translation" to avoid possible confusions.
"Ok" (in the Main site section) is translated '搜尋' which actually means "search".
It should be "確定". It's a Chinese translation.

Hi,

I found one bigger problem in date format (it looks as it was translated by someone who don't understand programming) in Czech translation (cs_CZ).
Also there are not reflected the national formats.
Here it is:
m / d / Y => d. m. Y (here is also mistake in letter Y)
m/d/Y => d. m. Y
m/d/Y - H:i => d. m. Y - H:i
m/d/Y H:i => d. m. Y H:i

Thanks for fix it!

Fixed, strings related to date formating are indeed often misunderstood by translators (which is understandable :D )
Thanks for reporting this!

Hello, I think the Colony Ship card from Race for the Galaxy (in english and probably other translations) is not clear about the restriction for military worlds.

The current string is:
You can discard this card to settle a non-alien world without discarding any other cards

Should be (and this is the way the rules are working on BGA):
You can discard this card to settle a non-military, non-alien world without discarding any other cards
or
You can discard this card to settle a normal non-alien world without discarding any other cards

(Non-military worlds are also referred to as "normal" worlds. In this context, "non-military" is probably best...)

Hello,
Since this is a problem in the source string, it's not just a translation problem and it would be best to report it either in a specific topic in the discussions forum or in a bug report for RFTG so that the developer for RFTG can take it into account.
(if the change is done on the English string in the translation system it will be changed only in English, while if it's fixed in the code of the game, this will be a new string that will have to be retranslated in every language, effectively fixing it not just for English but for all languages)

EDIT: in fact the English string for that card had already been changed in the translation system, so I updated it anyway :) Hope translators follow this thread and will take the change into account for other languages too.

Error from the main site translation to Bulgarian. The string "Display this page in %s" should be translated to "Покажи страницата на %s" . Error in the conjunction "in"

Hi.
I'm new to this site and I started translating some stuff to Korean recently.
During translation I found a bunch of weird/incorrect translations, and a few translations were stuck in 1970/01/01 and never validated.
What should I do in these cases?
