Rocket Jumper translation

Hi there,

Please look carefully at the translations you create. The Rocket Jumper translations was missing quite a few basic things, I've fixed them here and here, please take a look.

Thank you. I'm pretty sure some of these issues (Kamikaze one comes to mind) were copied straight from the original article. Anyway, these changes look good to me 👍🏻. Stilk (talk) 17:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, quite a few links didn't have the actual translated text added. E.g. the "Kamikaze" link, but also the Gas Passer link showed up as Gas Passer/no instead of Bensinkanne, as well as the PASS Time link being PASS Time/no.

See this edit too. This is very sloppy translation work that should not be saved, as these are easily translated and very basic Wiki editing. Please see Help:Editing and Help:Language translation before making any more translations. It is also preferred to either completely translate pages immediately or use your sandbox to save changes before creating the page.

Hi there,

I've been fixing the same mistakes over and over again on your translations. Use the "Show preview" button to preview the page you're making, it may also help to CTRL + F "/no" when previewing these changes. These are very basic mistakes that you really should not make, and also make the page feel like it's translated automatically with a "find and replace" feature.

I don't find it that easy to catch small issues in a sea of text, but I'll try to be more careful. Also I wasn't aware of the "update link" template until now, so that's nice to know. Stilk (talk) 20:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

If you manually make these links, it would avoid all of these. I'm not sure if you use a find and replace function, but that's not really a good way to do it, as it creates many instances like this where you miss many of these instances.
