Barbu: "No hearts" text bug

Post by moe_cherry »

What's up with the weird "perd" here?
Well the translation was typed by me, I double checked i didn't accidentally add that there

I played more games and found this issue somewhat random, not related to the "no hearts". In another game, the no heart hand's scores are announced as "XXX looses X points" which is right, but in the next no queens hand, the "perd" appeared again.

I assume the world "perd" is "loose" in another language? Too bad I don't know what language it is. Whatever, it seems an issue

Yes, perd is loses (no double o in lose! it's not the same word!) in french, present 3rd person singular. There's a bug indeed, the ${winOrLoose} arg is not translated.
edit: but I think it would be risky to translate just "loses" or "wins" without context, because the translation may not be obvious in all languages. I think there should be two different strings to translate:
${player_name} gets ${heart_count} hearts and wins ${points} points
${player_name} gets ${heart_count} hearts and loses ${points} points

yes, lose is much more common and directly opposite to win, don't know why the game uses loose.
I know there's an option of anti salade first on BGA, and obviously that's the reason why need (win or lose), different rules.
and now the hand types aren't translated either
