YoWindow Forum

I'm happy to announce that YoWindow is now translated to German language.

The translation work is all done by Reinhart (ikarus1969).
German YoWindow looks amazing, thank you much!

Download the latest build (197) to run YoWindow in German language.

The people who don't speak English, now can enjoy YoWindow.
Don't forget to tell the German-speaking people and communities you know.

Watch weather with pleasure in German!

where it is then when there is a new update, the update type in German?

Great work

Download the latest version and then go Options/General.
Change the language to Deutcsh.

Hello Pasha

Many thanks for your trouble to offer the tool in German. :!:
I have immediately installed it and am very contented.

Andre

That's too much.

It was no work, it was a pleasure and a possibility to make a litlle contribution

Ich habe eventuell ein Fehler in der Übersetzung entdeckt.

Es werden gerade "Leicht Schauer" angezeigt. Sollte es nicht "Leichte Schauer" heißen??

Nicht nur eventuell; es ist ein Fehler in der Übersetzung.

Oder doch nicht?

Hier schlägt die deutsche Sprache zu. Der gleiche Fehler tritt z.B. bei "Leicht(er) Regen" auf.
Bei "Leicht nieselig" stimmt's wieder. Wenn im Deutschen also dahinter ein Hauptwort steht, muss es heissen "Leichter Regen" oder "Leichte Schauer".
Aufgefallen ist mir das schon einige Tage, aber ich wollte mal schauen, wie wichtig es den deutschen Anwendern ist.

Die englischsprachigen User haben es etwas leichter: hier kann man immer "light" sagen ("light rain", "light drizzly" etc...) ohne Rücksicht, ob dahinter ein Hauptwort steht oder ob es Singular oder Plural ist.

Denn im Programm müsste wahrscheinlich dafür einiges an Aufwand getrieben werden.

Aber gut

Ich übersetze also Dein Post ins Englische und frage Pavel, ob sich da was machen lässt.

Hi Pavel - ENGLISH POST from Opa38:

opa38 wrote:I discovered eventually a mistake in the german translation.

Currently "Leicht Schauer" is displayed. Shouldn't it be "Leichte Schauer"??

My (shortened!) answer: You are right. In german it should be "Leichte" or "Leichter" depending if there's a noun following, if the noun is singular or plural and/or the noun is male/female. German language: hard to learn, harder to implement as english.

In english you would say "light rain". In german "Leichter Regen".
In english you would say "light drizzly". In german "Leicht nieselig".

So in german, we would need an extra way of displaying the current condition if you want to make it comletely (grammatically) correct.
For this example:
english: "light shower"
german: "Leichte Schauer"

english: "light rain"
german: "Leichter Regen"

english: "light drizzly"
german: "Leicht nieselig"

and so on ... i'm sorry

If there's a complete (as much as possible) list of the word-combinations, i can give you the german translation...

Reinhart, we have the same problem in Russian.
This is quite a hard problem.
There are many word combinations, though I have not counted them.

In my opinion, this is a minor problem.
It manifests itself only in sky-condition description line.

I think it does not worth spending hours to translate all YoWindow texts to perfection.
We will try to solve this problem in future.

Guys, what do you think?

Pavel, i agree with you.
As i told opa38 (in german) i was aware of the grammatically wrong sky-condition descriptions, but wanted to wait if someone else wants that to be changed.

For me it's enough that this problem is known and not forgotten. It's marked for the future to be solved (when there's more time for it).

And it will not be easy to forget about it, because from time to time we get a wrong sky-condition description
