Dutch translation about sqlstyle.guide HOT 16 CLOSED

@treffynnon I just started to review my last version. I'll plan some free time this weekend to finish it up and final check everything. I expect a PR by the end of this week.

from sqlstyle.guide.

@treffynnon I need some more time. I enthusiastically started to translate the examples too, but I'll probably revert that to back to English because it doesn't make sense in Dutch, unless I completely change the whole example. For example using underscore in Dutch would be needed in some, but way fewer cases than in English. Like "first name" in Dutch is "voornaam", it cannot be seperated. Same for "last name", "achternaam" and "opening_time" will be "openingstijd".

I am glad you like the style guide. All translations are gratefully received from contributors.

I've taken the liberty of setting up the boilerplate/skeleton for a Dutch translation in a new branch: nl-translation. I recommend that you check it out and work from there to make the process easier and more focussed on the task of actually translating the material. If you work in there I would ask that you translate:

• _includes/sqlstyle.guide.nl.md
• lang_title in nl/index.md

Should you need to, the links to the translation in the header and footer can be edited/found in _includes/head.html and _includes/foot.html respectively.

If you would like any further assistance then just let me know.

Thanks, I will start soon. I expect it's gonna be a freely translated version in order to pass the message in Dutch correctly. I will of course maintain the guidelines strictly. Two more questions:

1. I don't quite understand the reference "Based on a work at www.sqlstyle.guide." in the footer. It's based on itself?
2. Can we add "translation by..." in the header on the translated pages? After "by Simon Holywell · @treffynnon"

@calico90 have you made any progress with the translation?

from sqlstyle.guide.

Hi @treffynnon,
I did make a enthusiastic start. I still need to choose proper terminology for a few things and apply it consistently to the translated text, since a few things are more common to name in English anyway. Will hopefully give you an update later on.

Hi @calico90, thought I'd check in and see how you're going and if there is anything I could help you with potentially.

Hi @calico90

I've made a couple of changes to the interface based on your feedback.

• There is now a list of translators in the page header to give their work better credit.
• Additionally, I've changed the language/translation bar at the top of the page to use a dropdown instead of a list of links. This allows more translations to be available than the navigation list allowed.

Please see http://www.sqlstyle.guide/zh-tw/ for an example of this in action.

Have you made any further progress on your Dutch translation?

Hi @calico90 did you make any further progress? If you've got some partial work completed perhaps someone else could pick up from there and complete it?

from sqlstyle.guide.

No worries. The other translations have not translated the code examples for similar reasons. I was deliberately picking those columns names for demonstration purposes are you note instead of forename or surname (probably could've chosen a better example to begin with of course!) so it does make translation difficult or the translation could appear weirdly unnatural.

Thank you for the work you're putting into making the guide accessible to a wider audience.

@calico90 Did the approach of not translating the examples make it a bit easier?

from sqlstyle.guide.

Hey @calico90 how is this going?

from sqlstyle.guide.

@ElleshaHackett curious to know if you've had any time to complete the translation work on this? Do you have a partially completed branch any where at the moment that I could take a look at?

from sqlstyle.guide.

@ElleshaHackett I am going to close this issue due to inactivity. If you are still working on this translation or come back to it later please feel free to either open a new issue or write a note here ask me to re-open this issue.
