Board Game Arena

I would like to signal to errors in the italian version of the site that cannot be corrected via the usual "help us translate!" dialog because they're not there.

First one, in audio preferences: besides each possible sound event ther'e a dropdown list to choose the sound and then clickable link "Play" that will play the selected sound.
Now as you will know "Play" means "Gioca" as in "play the game"... but it also means "Suona" that is "produce a sound": this in italian is, exactly, "Suona" in italian and it has a completely different sond and menaning.
In general, the correct literal translation would be "Suona" rather than "Have a game". However the most appropriate word would be "Anteprima".

Regarding second consideration; in a game, the "Replay" button should really be left alone: "Rigioca" is what appears now, but it really means "Play another game of the same game).

Omg I was so sleepy when I wrote this I would have barely been meaningful in italian.
So, what I meant to say was: the english word "Play", one of its meaning being "Suona" (Play a sound) and other being "Gioca" (Play a game) is incorrectly translated in the audio preferences panel. There, "Gioca" appears while "Suona" would be more appropriate and "Anteprima" (Preview) would make more sense according to general translations habits in this context.

Regarding second consideration; in a game, the "Replay" button should really be left alone: "Rigioca" is what appears now, but it really means "Play another game of the same game).

What I meant here is that while "Rigioca" is formally correct for "Replay", it usually is only meant for "Play again" (in the same conditions as before) and not for "Review the game". I would leave the "Replay" option, or at least "Rivedi" (Re-view).

Hi,

That's ok, I got your meaning, I studied some Italian long ago

1) I'll add a new generic string LB_PLAY_SOUND in the next release to enable a separate translation for 'play' and 'play sound'

2) I changed the current validated translation in the translation system to 'rivedi questa partita'.

Hi,
i wold like to signal an error in Italian Traslation in the Tournament's section.

The string: "REGISTER TOURNAMENT" (displayed on the push button in Competitions Page) is wrong-translated in "TORNEO REGISTRATO": the correct translation is "ISCRIVITI AL TORNEO".

Thanks for reporting this mistranslation, it has been fixed.

Cheers,
