## TRANSLATION OF FOR EXAMPLE\r
## 24-ago-2010. Juan Pérez (j@xyz.p). Corrected translation for xyzzy.\r
\r
-## Not very clear how to write comments, so I used ##\r
-## find them scattered around this translation\r
-\r
## Notes for translators (can be deleted from he file after translation):\r
-## Just write the trnslations between the second pair of quotes\r
+## Just write the translations between the second pair of quotes\r
## Things like %s, %d and %c must be preserved in the original order\r
## Empty translated strings will be ignored, so there is no reason\r
## to delete those for which you don't know a translation,\r
-## and you can start testing everything imemdiately.\r
-## Simply rename the file LANGUAGE.lng, and WinBoard should see it,\r
+## and you can start testing everything immediately.\r
+## Simply rename this file to LANGUAGE.lng, and WinBoard should see it,\r
## and allow you to use the option /language=LANGUAGE.\r
## You are encouraged to call up the corresponding WinBoard dialog while\r
## working on the translation, to see in which context the strings are used.\r
## a different dialog! For this reason you will only see an 'OK' in the\r
## About Box. After you translated it there, this translation will be used\r
## for all other dialogs as well.\r
+## o Use ## for comments, to make iteasy to find them scattered throughout the translation\r
+## o Careful with temptation of direct translation, by example 'movimiento' for 'move' when 'jugada' is better.\r
+## o Try to use short phrases, more text doesn't imply more clearness.\r
+## o Check that your translation is right, does it mean what it does?\r
+## o Test your translation, check every dialog.\r
+## o For standard chess names check Wikipedia for confirmation.\r
+## o For menus, assign shortcuts (character &) until you finish the translation.\r
+## preferably it should be unique in the applicable menu, so it depends on translation of other items!\r
