Rainsted translation for Russian and Belarusian

[paul_ebm]

As I promised, I'm working on russian and belarusian languages for the simulator.
In this topic, I will ask questions during the translation.

At the moment I'm working on the Russian language, and I have some questions.

1) Some phrases do not have enough space in the buttons. What can i do? Use reductions, or?
2) Almost everything need to translate, I try to translate using the words in such a way they are used in our language. Is it Ok? Or a literal translation would be more understandable?



Moderators, please move the topic to the desired section, or leave here if I have made it in the right place.
The place is correct, I've only modified the topic.

Ad.1. Use shortening. Also in some cases I can enlarge the buttons a bit.
Ad.2. You shoudl see how it looks in Rainsted. Literal translation is not needed, it should first explain, how the program works.

I need help for this:

ChBoPoj3.Caption=
ChBoPoj5.Caption=
BuTimeMerge.Caption=
BuSPT8.Caption=
ChBoGhost.Caption=

[Ra]

It should be:
ChBoPoj3.Caption=High voltage
ChBoPoj5.Caption=Air supply
BuTimeMerge.Caption=Include time* file
ChBoGhost.Caption=ghostview (as a vehicle)
First two are coupler types. Third is kind of configuration files, that were requested, but then never used. Fourth is a mode, when you don't drive any vehicle, only fly as a ghost. The word "ghostview" must be provided as parameter to EXE.

To be removed:
BuSPT8.Caption=
This was used to swap tracks in a switch track when the animation of switches was incorrect. Abandoned.

You can fix the missed strings in English version also. ;)

Will be a lot of "cuts", as the Russian words are almost always longer than English or Polish.

For example:
Work=Работает
On=Включение
Big=Большие

:)

Questions:

LaRndSel.Caption=Lista uїytych include:  — what is this?

...
15.Caption=NodeLine_Strip //list of lines
16.Caption=NodeLine_Loop //list of lines
17.Caption=NodeMemCell //memory cell
18.Caption=NodeEventLauncher //event launcher
19.Caption=NodeSound //sound
20.Caption=Event //abstract event
...

What means Node ?

LaRndSel.Caption=Lista użytych include:  — what is this?

This is insde discontinued tool for trees. You can remove this line.

What means Node ?

These are internal scenery strutures. Leave the first word as is, translate the "comment" only.

[paul_ebm]

And the last.

LaAtmo.Caption=Atmo
Label1.Caption=Label1

LaDebugTol.Caption=Toleration [0.1mm]

[Ra]

LaAtmo.Caption=Atmo

These are colors of sky and distant fog — "atmosphere".

Label1.Caption=Label1

This is garbage. Delete.

LaDebugTol.Caption=Toleration [0.1mm]

This means the distance between track ends that is considered as the same point, used while finding nearest track and reducing holes. The unit of distance is 0.1mm.

I completed work on the language pack in Russian for the simulator.
Spent 4 days. Translated everything, including the file "start-ru". Where I have translated the values ​​of buttons with the words that are used on Russian railways

It is difficult for us to check, because of the Cyrillic font used (see attachment). There are few untranslated options, in a free time I'll note here what is missed. But for now – looks OK :)

[paul_ebm]

Oh~so : (
Now two of my friends use my translation, and they say that the main translated normally, it is clear.
But its not a final translation, i give you some corrections later.
Have you enabled on the computer package of cyrillic?
