    Please let anyone know to register at the Comodo Forums and help Comodo translate CIS into other languages.

    A translation tool will be available next week or so...

    3 people for each language are needed.

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Josh

    That is not correct. The ideal situation is to have at least 3 users/translators, so you don't get strange translations. So the 4th and 5th user/translator that signs up will be accepted as well.

    Good practise, have a look at PC Tools FW, the messages are problably one-on-one translated (they are correct but very hard to understand and with a detail which is irrelevant to most users), so I had trouble understanding some pop-ups of the Dutch version correctly

    Comodo and its users want insiders, the users of the product, to get a good translation. Do you realy think a non user can translate it better ? Think again !

    guest do you really think it will matter that much? :rolleyes:

    It's not like they are messing with the code.. And with 3-6 people all able of doing double checks to see if it is fine I doubt mistranslations will happen in any major way, even if one or two tries to on purpose translate wrong, there will still be a third guy hopefully able to repair or alarm before it goes public. :) I bet comodo will also do "some" checking, eg against google translate and similar. Side note: Russian and Chinese will be dealt with in house by professionals..

    no we cant take it away, but we can ingore it for being useless... its just translations, nothing to do with the security of the product, clearly their work will be checked as well when their done translating... its a free program, i dont see how u can complain about something so trivial... :cautious:

    What would be worse:

    a) A translation done by professional translators, who know the core of both languages, native and, in this case, the english one?

    b) A translation done by two folks, even if users of the product, but, who may not know the core of the, in this case, english language, and, in some situations, badly understand the core of their own?

    The translation is very important in terms of security.
    A poor translation can mislead users with serious consequences.

    And to check translations especially for a HIPS is sheer impossible.
    While translating programs like OA, Returnil or SBIE I came across HIPS/sandboxing/virtualization terms with no matching German terms, they simply don't exist.
    So you have to create your own terms, which is rather difficult if someone should unterstand what was originally meant.
    Else there are often nearly no references in the target language and even the few existing are sometimes packed with mistakes.

    Apart from that I see at least one 'Comodo blocks everything' fanbaby on the translators list.
    Well, good luck then.

    Cheers

    This thread has long since served it's purpose and is heading downhill. Anything further probably would be best discussed on the appropriate Comodo forum thread.

    Closed.
