Little help request: menu translation to German and Spanish Thread

Hi all!

I'm working on the 10th update for BOH and, among the many improvements it brings, it also simplifies the menu a lot. Is there any kind soul willing to fix the errors in the translations proposed below (I'm sure there are quite a few)? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi saimo!

Spanish translation is quite good, I've only found a few missing accents in the words:

• Menu > Menú
• Musica > Música

I do believe all the rest is perfect.

Hope this helps

Sure it helps!
Thanks, jack_wade!

What do you mean by "menu controls"?
If you mean "how the user navigates through the menus", then the German translation should be "Menüsteuerung".

Well, yes and no. That refers to the controls used to navigate the menu, and specifically to the up/down keys: the option inverts the direction menu lists scroll.

Context screenshot:

it looks more like "Menüsteuerung"......

OK guys, you conviced me to switch to MENÜSTEUERUNG... and not just for German! I changed MENU CONTROLS to MENU CONTROL in all languages.
Since I also decided to add a new option (NAME REQUEST: always / per session / once), I'll seize the chance to ask for more proofreading...

^^, norwegian and swedish??

Yeah... the original translations were provided by the first customers themselves
And there's also Finnish, but that one is OK (except for the last string I added, which will be translated by a friend).

So, do I have to take "NAMEN ANFRAGE: immer / per sitzung / einmal" is correct?

mhm, Namen anfrage is wrong, but i'm not sure what name request really means in German^^

Worldwideweb wrote: mhm, Namen anfrage is wrong, but i'm not sure what name request really means in German^^

The "NAME REQUEST" option allows the player to specify his/her name once for all (once), once every time the program is started (per session) or at the beginning of each mission (always).

Maybe "NAMEN ANTRAG"?

How about "NAMENSWAHL" ? And "pro Sitzung" sounds better than "per Sitzung"...

Thank you

"NAMENSWAHL" translates as "NAME CHOICE", right? Well, I'd prefer something closer to "request"... is it possible?

"pro sitzung": OK.

I see. So how about "NAMENSABFRAGE" instead?

Sounds very good to me

So, is the rest OK? Can I call the whole translation done?

I think the new line is perfectly translated into Spanish

As far as I can recall, yes, but it could prove helpful if you`d post a round-up on the current state of the German translation to make sure once and for all...

Good idea! Here are the updated translations.

The only doubt I still have is about "NAVNET FORESPØRSEL" in the Norwegian translation - I wish I could change the thread's title to attract the attention of Norwegian users :/

Edited by: saimo

I would recommend to go with "SCHWIERIGKEITSGRAD" (level of difficulty) instead of "SCHWIERIGKEIT" and use capital letters for the first letter of words like "normal" or "leicht" as you can see below:
