Japanese translation <solved - i'm a noob>

Post by zayzayem »

I was unable to get Japanese translation strings to be accepted.

It kept telling me I did not have the right number of % symbols.

I changed %'s card into %のカード but it didn't like it. - there is only 1 % in each string.
I think maybe there is a problem with using the % and Japanese characters? Anyone else tried or had this problem?

Re: Japanese translation (problem with kana strings)

I haven't tried to translate japanese, since I'm not familiar with it, but in the strings "%" is usually followed by "s". You need to keep the full string "%s" in the translation as well. Are you doing that, or translating the "s"?

Example:
Original String: "%s hours"
should be translated as
Translated string: "%s 時間" or something similar

Thanks.

I was reading it as % [possessive apostrophe] s -- don't know enough about this string coding stuff. Just trying the translation tool.

I've updated it - should be "%s カード" then.
