While translating Carnegie into Catalan I've found some errors. Where should I post them? Here or in de Developers forum?

For example, regions are called ${region_name}, but in just two instances they are refered as ${region}, and then they are not translated and appear in English. And, of course, the interface does not let me use the correct variable name.

Other mistakes do not involve variable names, so now are correct in Catalan, but wrong in english, such as inconsistencies as calling the railway train once or discs pawns a couple of times.

As I said previously, this kind of comments should go here or on the developers forum? Where will the authors or whoever is responsible read them?

Thanks in advance!

It depends

This should be reported to the developer through the bugs reporting tool (not in the forum), as it is a mistake that affects all translations.

For typos or small imperfections like this, you can request some changes to the English text in the translation system by selecting "English" as the destination language.

Hope it helps!

As Een noted, the bug reporting system is the best place to track issues and make sure I see them. I just happened to see this forum. The bug report page for Carnegie can be found at the link below, or by going to "Community" tab and submitting a report with a table number of a game of Carnegie.

For the ${region} variable, the reason the value doesn't get translated isn't due to the name of the variable itself, but a missing call to the Javascript function that calls strings to be translated. This is indeed a bug that should be fixed next release. Nothing should need to change with the strings themselves.

There were some changes in terminology throughout the development of the game itself ("pawn" => "disc", "train level" => "railroad level"), and it looks like I missed a couple instances in tooltips. I agree that it would be better to request a change of the English translation, because changing the string would invalidate the translation in all other languages.
