French users: tell your choice.

Some changes had been committed today for the French translation file in order to reduce length of phrases for the “Prefs” page into the upcoming new “Hive” presentation.
I encounter problem with this entry: “De nouveaux commentaires indiquent que le site est mis à jour ?” which needs to be reduced with 9 signs less (spaces include).
Could you submit here your proposals? Thanks.

Des raccourcissements de phrases ont été proposés pour le fichier de traduction française afin de se conformer à la nouvelle présentation du thème “Hive” et, notamment, celle de la page “Préférences”.
Je rencontre cependant quelques difficultés avec celle-ci qui doit être expurgée de 9 caractères (espaces compris) : “De nouveaux commentaires indiquent que le site est mis à jour ?”
Pourriez-vous soumettre ici, en commentaires, vos propositions? Merci.

“Actualiser la date de màj si nouveaux commentaires ?” looks a bit ugly but comprehensible, though I’m not exactly french, nor newbie. Or simply “Site mis à jour si nouveaux commentaires ?”

Simple: “Site mis à jour si de nouveaux commentaires ?” Thanks ;)

Here is a snapshot of upcoming changes:

If someone have a solution to shorten this one: “Ajouter l’attribut nofollow dans les liens des commentaires ?”.

Peut-être en supprimant “Ajouter” :

Attribut nofollow pour les liens des commentaires ?

Cool @Sacripant!
I’ll submit this proposal shortly.

Salut, Patrick – forgive me if I am missing a French language subtlety, but from the screenshot there seems to be a space character before each ? – could that empty space be trimmed from each question?

Hi @geakwad ;)

There are some rules in French language (different from English):

no space before a colon but after;
a space before question marks / exclamation marks;
a space before and after a semicolon;

I respectfully stand corrected – thank you for the clarification, sir.

This one annoys me:

Autoriser un panel plus large de balises Textile ?

Suggestion, peut-être?

Permettre plus de balises Textile ?

I’m personally not crazy about shortening the labels just for the sake of having them on one line… my 2¥ worth.

Agreed. Since there is a new layout coming for the preferences page, and a new grid coming soon too, the lineage might change (although I think if anything it’ll allow for slightly longer text lines). I’ve merged all your recent commits into the RPC server now anyway, since they all looked fine to me.

Cool. If needed, I will revert all these changes.

Thanks Phil ;)
