Sentence Collector Localization Update

Common Voice
#13

One important thing for translators thou:

There are examples in the original English text which refer to English. These must be replaced with localized counterparts, not with direct translations. Otherwise they will not mean anything.

Examples:

  • For example, the acronym “ICE” could be pronounced “I-C-E” or as a single word.
  • For example, an apostrophe is included in English words like “don’t” and “we’re” and should be included in the source text, but it’s unlikely you’ll ever need a special symbol like “@” or “#.”

I’ve just started on the new Common Voice Strings related, I guess to the Sentence Collecor and I’ve come across this:
Home
COMMENT Don’t rename the following section, its contents are auto-inserted based on the name. These strings are automatically exported from Sentence Collector. [SentenceCollector]
Can you clarify this? What does rename and section mean? If they are not to be translated why are they included in Pontoon? Thanks.

@rprys, I think you are looking at the repo. You should do the translation through Pontoon. That part in the repo will be filled programmatically…

#16

No, I’m in Pontoon…

@rprys thanks for reporting this. I will have a look. This was not meant as a comment on that specific string, you can safely ignore it.

One more thing to be aware of - a minor issue… If the original sentence has a variable AND it is a correct English word ( e.g. {$sentences} ) AND if you use Google translation to start with, you get that variable also translated. Pontoon will give an error, stating there is no closing “}”. To pass that, you should correct the variable name of course…

I’m not sure what ‘total sentences’ mean. The number of sentences or if they are complete?

0 No total sentences.
one 1 total sentence.
other { $totalSentences } total sentences.

Should the keyboard shortcuts be localized?
They would be C, G and H in Welsh for Cymeradwyo, Gwrthod a Hepgor?

You can also use Keyboard Shortcuts: Y to Approve, N to Reject, S to Skip

Contributions Agreement template
Will these be available for localization?

#23

Will there be a separate staging site for the Sentence Collector?
These’s a lot to check :slight_smile:

#24

“x total sentences” is from the first bullet on the Statistics page, showing total posted sentences in a language, validated or not.

#25

About keyboard shortcuts:

No, these are checked by the SW as keypresses, as of now these cannot be localized.

#26

Contributions Agreement template (and Wikipedia link etc) are in English only.

Formally translating the Agreement for 150+ languages will not be possible I think. Also, although Wikipedia link has several translations, it is not in every language.

#27

Thanks, so how about:
0 No sentences
one 1 sentence
other a total of { $totalSentences }

https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/sentence-collector/#/en/stats isn’t showing this on my profile.

#28

The keyboard shortcuts are localized here: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/cy/speak

#29

Please just hit “Statistics” from the top menu in Sentence Collector. Most of these 3 option translations are from the Statistics page. They all are indicated with context:
CONTEXT sc-lang-info-*

Oh, now I see! You should have contributed some :slight_smile:
Currently “zero” cases are controlled in the SW and no output is shown. But we added them in case the SW changes in this respect.

#32

There should be some already - we have 134 hour of recordings!
Or do I need to add some now?
