French version installation and French Missing translation

[elponeju]

Hello,
First : when i attempt to install the english version, i finally have the french one. I'm very pleased to see a french version but it should be possible to choose to install it

Second :  some translations are missing, there's untranslated text... (for laser weapons sections)

Cion :
I'm a french guy working for a big company in QA (quality/beta test) department and a fan of UFO game. If i can help you in any way (translation, QA, other) please Do not hesitate to contact me
I don't know the best way to contact u...

You just have!
I'm not sure what the status of the French translation is. I think we're supposed to keep track on the wiki, but it may be outdated.
As for installing the "French version", there is only one version to install. You select which language to use after installation (at least, in 2.2; 2.1.1 does not have the language selection implemented yet. I recommend you check out the 2.2 test installers).

yes, the translations are work in progress - afaik no (except the english one) is 100% ready. Feel free to contribute - just have a look at our translation articles in our wiki.

ok i made my first translation for u, hope it will be correctly done.
It's one the wiki and i'm not sure it was the good way to do it.
Equipment/Secondary Weapons/Laser Pistol

i didn't make a word to word translation and hope it will help.
Please say me if it's good and i will make others if u want.

ok i made an awful mystake i'm so sorry an =d hope u wil be able to correct it. i will repair it this afternoon
 I changed the english text thinking it was the text to translate..
Due to my ignorance about the wiki...
Further more, the text i translated was already done...

i will work on a new one (laser rifle) if you still want me..

word to word is not needed - but it should have the same meaning as the english text - but i'm not even able to controll this ;-)

wiki pages can easily be reverted.

i think you are supposed to translate onto a page whose title is in your language, like this:

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Aliens/Comportement_%C3%89trange

i could not find the instructions for this on the wiki, though

Hi,

I'm quite rookie  too but if you want to help with translation you need to go in
contribute -> translating -> List of msgid -> 'choose one of the categories for ex Equipment' (or go directly to http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/List_of_msgid )

Then go to the fr column and click on one of the item to see the current french translation/page. Note that some have 'open' status but are in fact finished. You have the current english text on the left.

In french, I think that only 'Equipment/Lames Monomoléculaires' is unfisnished today. (until missing english texts are done)
