Re: Lists of problems in the French translation (do not check precedent message)

[Etienne Marcotte]

The precedent message was the result of trying to avoid HTML when blocked to using it (if I wan't to reply) with Yahoo!. I will attach the text file hoping it will work.

I made some precision to my previous message.

The text is the following : "Stelle die Anzahl der Fähigkeiten ein"

"Afficher le prologue?" doesn't fit in the box. So the little square is covered 
by the "og" and the question mark is on the sky.

Level 1 : kliktanjem misa na Pinugsu    (ok, I don't think it's German)
Level 2 : E[g with a symbol I cannot type]er Pingular [an odd c]ok yüksekten 
dü[an odd s]erlerse ölürler, dikkatli ol!    (not quite German too and if you 
grep, avoid the odd caracters)

It's because of this :
in digger-tutorial2-grumbel.xml :
    <description lang="fr">C'est votre première mission. Comme toujours, c'est 
assez facile.
                           Tout ce que vous avez à faire, est de donner l'ordre 
à un Pingu de creuser
                           un trou dans le sol afin qu'il puisse atteindre la 
sortie. Ceci est
                           accompli en cliquant simplement sur un Pingu.
                                                   kliktanjem misa na Pinugsu.

When you have at least 20 Pingus to save, the first digit (or second to last) 
is put over the ":" of the
"Nombre de Pingus à sauver:" (number of Pingus to save). We should make this 
line shorter.

I was just talking about the sign on the main map.


Many of the others problems were only translation one. Who has translated 
Pingus in the different languages ? The one who did the French translation 
could go through all the French text before the next release.
