Translate an OI application (hard)
completed by: Angad
mentors: Randy McEoin, Friedger Müffke, Peli, aap, Manuel R. Ciosici
The task is to translate the strings appearing in one of the OI applications at Launchpad. All untranslated strings of one application must be translated. Depending on the number of untranslated strings in your language, this task can be easy (at least 20 untranslated strings), medium (at least 50 untranslated strings), or hard (at least 100 untranslated strings). If there are less than 20 untranslated strings, you may include untranslated strings of other OI applications. The language you translate into MUST be your mother tongue. Please study the Launchpad translation guidelines before starting your translations. The translations should sound professional. If in doubt, please ask your parents or teachers about proper translation of technical terms. Let your parents or teachers check your translations.
IMPORTANT: Before translating directly at Launchpad, send a text file containing 10 untranslated strings and their translation to OpenIntents, with a link to the untranslated strings at Launchpad. Only after your sample translation items have been approved and you have received our OK, should you continue to translate all remaining strings directly at Launchpad. If you translate directly at Launchpad before your 10 sample items have been approved, OpenIntents reserves the right not to accept your entry and remove your translations from Launchpad.
- Difficulty: hard
- Time limit: 21 days
- Requirements for completed entry:
