Translations updated more often

byte

I would like the latest translations to be included in each RC release. As I am translating Orion into Polish, I expect the RC to ship with the most recent version of the translated strings, allowing translators to verify their work.

Users who prefer the non-English version of the UI expect it to be translated as accurately as possible.

You're right, that's something we overlook. We'll find a better way to do that.
Thanks for your translation work <3

I second this. The German translation is good, but there are still a lot of mistakes in it. I've signed up to localazy to improve them only to discover that most of it already has been fixed by someone else 11 months ago (!).

Honestly and I don't get why so many companies ignore this, but a bad translation is for many people such a showstopper yet alone if it is machine translated. So please take my advice and implement the most current translations since that can heavily attribute to user acceptance and welcoming those users long-term into the Kagi ecosystem.

@byte and @Thalavox Thank you very much for your efforts in translation and for helping us out, we really appreciate it!

We've been internally pulling and updating translations from Localazy every week (this process started a few months ago). I'm going to re-check our processes to make sure that the updated translations get reflected in the RC releases every time.

For now, are there any specific strings that you see which are not updated in RC that have been updated in Localazy that you could point me to? (This will help me check what we missed while building the RC and make sure it doesn't happen again).

I have noticed that two Polish translation strings, which were already corrected some time ago, continue to appear in Orion with incorrect capitalization:

Key: enable_compatibility_mode
→ Correct translation in Localazy: "Włącz tryb zgodności"
→ Displayed in UI: "Włącz Tryb Zgodności" (title case / all words capitalized)
Key: close_all_windows
→ Correct translation in Localazy: "Zamknij wszystkie okna"
→ Displayed in Orion: "Zamknij Wszystkie Okna" (title case / all words capitalized)

In the Polish language, command names begin with a capital letter, while the remaining words do not (unlike the convention in English).

What still bugs me even though all of the German strings have been mostly well translated is the fact that especially in the Orion settings there are lots of uppercase/lowercase misspells still. They aren't sourced from the translations since I've double-checked them over on Localazy.

One example is "Orion-schlüsselbund" (Orion keychain) which is wrong according to German grammar. This should be "Orion Schlüsselbund" (and that is also how it was translated over at Localazy).

@akshatpatel Is there any update on the strings that I mentioned on 7th of March? These are still visible in the UI and the app was updated several times since then.

Hey @byte apologies for the delayed response. I checked in the code, it seems like the strings are there all correctly, but for the 2 specific things that you mention, we are doing a .capitalized() modifier after fetching the actual string, which seems to be causing the issue.

@Thalavox regarding "Orion-schlüsselbund" as well, we had a modifier which did .lowercased().capitalizingFirstLetter that caused the string to be displayed like this.

These should be fixed soon, thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
