Actually, I just wanted to check with you, guys. Thanks for translating Inara into Chinese!
I just set you as a Reviewer, so you should be able to approve all the translations there. The Inara discord is here.

ArtieThere was a few missing strings added, some issues on the site related to localization fixed and latest Russian language translations uploaded. If do you want do have some partial translation for testing on the site, just tell me (presuming there is at least ~20% done (the translations needs to be approved, otherwise it cannot be exported)).

Which reminds me - is there anybody willing to take a Reviewer role for the French language? It seems there are various translations and I am not really sure which are better, so somebody with great French language knowledge having that role will be helpful, as it may move the translations forward and there will be some progress seen.

• Check the consistency - validate the translation tone is informal, all terms are consistent and translated same way.
• Check the plurals - double-check you are using a correct number of plurals where necessary (driven by variable).
• Check the translation does make sense - go through pages on Inara and ensure everything makes sense to users or doesn't look odd. Everything should feel naturally and not like translated by machine.
• Check the string lengths - ensure no string is going outside the visible area or breaking the layout (like headers or buttons), check that tables still fit the page on lower browser window sizes (column names may extend the table a lot). If you are unable to solve that be shortening the string (to a form which still makes a sense) or you feel that it can be fixed by site layout changes, please let me know.
• If you are not sure about some stuff, check the translations guidelines above or do not hesitate to ask.

ArtieAdd an extra option for the plural forms driven by variable, as requested here before:
You can alter the plural forms in a way like this: [WORD3|WORD4] %%N1 [WORD1|WORD2]. The only condition is it needs to be right before/after the %%N variable. The word selection is driven by the same variable, so in this case it will pick WORD3 and WORD1 for singular, WORD4 and WORD2 for plurals.

Also, there are partial (~30%) translations to Portuguese available for testing.

leonardofelinHi Artie, something to think for a future update: several languages use a different system for decimals and thousand separation.

English:
Decimal: period
Thousand: comma

Portuguese:
Decimal: comma
Thousand: period

Any chance to have it change automatically with the language?
Maybe even add an option just below the Date Format settings?

DragoCubX Oh oops, I didn't know the part about plural forms needing to be right before/after variables. So, uh, guess I'll have to go through EVERYTHING again..... sigh
I had just assumed that if there was a [Word1|Word2] expression in the original, it would parse all [WordX|WordY] expressions in the translation the same way, regardless of amount or position.

ArtieAlso, as I took a brief look over German translations, all seems to be alright, so no adjustments needed.

The decimal/floating point separator localization is in, by the way.

leonardofelinAlso Drago, this little discussion may be helpfull:

leonardo:
In Portuguese, I changed these to be smaller by using like: "activo hace %%N1........". It's smaller and works just as well. Also, the [la|las] option may not work. Artie mentioned that option must be right next to the variable.

DragoCubX As someone who has translated many things in the past, I wish to stay as true to the original as possible unless it hampers understandability of the translation. Though arguably it's more important on novels/stories, on a site like this it's mostly inconsequential as long as people get what the various things stand for
