Hello guys,
Since some of you are localization specialist, I would like to have some
advices.
In the latest release of Scilab, a critical issue in the Polish and
Japanese localizations has been found. This causes a bad exception and
Scinotes to be unusable:
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9475
I was wondering if you know any tool which might check the quality of
the translation regarding the programming language.
For example, in Scilab, I will write:
myString = "I don''t known"
Some translators are not very familiar with specificities of languages.
They might think the double quote might just be a typo and remove it
from the translated string.
This is bad since it breaks the execution since the string is badly
formatted.
Do you know a tool which might here ? (it is hard for us to test Scilab
in all the languages).
Thanks,
Sylvestre
