Dictionary

Please do not create or edit dictionary subpages. Make changes to the main dictionary page instead. — The preceding assigned comment was added by Tark {Finish Him! ▪ Contribs} 09:17, 25 April 2016 (PDT)

Thanks a lot Tark, I'll undo what I did.

Dictionary additions

Hello,

please refrain from adding inofficial translations to the Dictionary. Only official translations are accepted, you can find them here: Tf_french.txt. — shots fired by: Nikno { Talk|Contribs} 10:03, 25 April 2016 (PDT)

Thank you for the heads up, didn't know it, I will refrain from now on.

Thanks for your fast reply, welcome to the French part of the wiki! If you've got any questions, feel free to jump into the IRC or ask me on my talk page. (Note that I don't speak French :)). — shots fired by: Nikno{Talk|Contribs} 10:13, 25 April 2016 (PDT)

Thanks a lot for the useful links ! I got a question, for instance the Captain Space Mann got already a french traslation for its name "Captaine Space Mann" but it's mispelled, it should be "Capitaine" one "i" is missing. Where should I signal this? >_< Oh nevermind somebody did the same mistake i made with the dictionary I suppose.

The official translations are done by the Steam Translation Server (STS), if you think something is wrong you might want to contact a French translator. — shots fired by: Nikno{Talk|Contribs} 10:26, 25 April 2016 (PDT)

Your recent translation

Hello, it's me.. again!

It's really great to see another active French translator! I've corrected one of your recent translation (see link) and compiled a list of things to remember when translating item pages, so that you do it better the next articles:

• There are a few things in the item infobox to be touched when translating an item:
  • The "used-by" parameter needs to be translated
  • The "item-kind" parameter must be translated with official string
• The quotation on most pages should also be translated. Furthermore, if the sound is not existing in French (you can check that by searching for it with a "_fr" suffix. For example if it's "Soldier_mvm_loot_godlike01.wav" you can search for "Soldier_mvm_loot_godlike01_fr.wav". In case it doesn't exist, add "|en-sound=yes" behind the quotation. So it finally looks like this: {{Quotation|'''Le Soldier'''|[...]|sound=Soldier_mvm_loot_godlike01.wav|en-sound=yes}}. If the French sound does exist, simply put the "_fr" suffix behind it.
• Item and style names also have official translations (I can understand that I annoy you with those "official translations"), I added them in the example correction.
• There are 3 templates that help you with official translations so that you don't need to look for them:
  • {{update link}} automatically links to the correct update page here and also displays the name. Usage: "[[Tough Break Update]]" becomes "{{update link|Tough Break Update}}". This produces on a French page: Mise à jour Tough Break.
  • {{item name}} automatically displays the ingame name of the item. Usage: "Caped Crusader" becomes "{{item name|Caped Crusader}}". This outputs on a French page: Le Croisé à cape on.
  • {{item link}} works same as above, but also adds a link to the page. Usage: "[[Caped Crusader]]" becomes "{{item link|Caped Crusader}}". This produces: Le Croisé à cape.
• Categories at the end need the "/fr" suffix. Quite simple, "[[Category:Items with styles]]" => "[[Category:Items with styles/fr]]"

I hope I didn't overwhelm you, just trying to improve your translations even more :)

Thanks for translating and have fun! — shots fired by: Nikno{Talk|Contribs} 13:38, 25 April 2016 (PDT)
