whether they are usable or not depends on your OS. On linux, which I use, you press Alt+the underlined key.

Ok because with windows, which I use, there are not underlined so they should not be active. I was wondering.

Many times I have seen the smart way of adding an URL to a translated text:

"For help with writing advanced news recipes, please visit <a href="http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/user_manual/news.html">User Recipes</a>"

That is incredibly smart - why have other projects not done that before!

Can e.g. add Wikipedia URLs or should I suggest them somewhere first?

Other questions (fill more in as found):

* "Regular expression (?P<author>)" - shall I translate author?

kovidgoyal · 07-13-2010, 08:58 AM

Not sure what you're asking? Are you asking for translated versions of the URLS?

E.g. replacing:

pts

with

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_%28typography%29">pts</a>

in the text?

kovidgoyal · 07-13-2010, 09:50 AM

Sure, that can be done, if you post a list of such locations, I will add them.

Thanks, should I post them here?

Can I use e.g. the number " 1601." as a reference?

kovidgoyal · 07-13-2010, 10:01 AM

Yes, you can use the numbers. Better to open a ticket and post them there, forum posts can get lost. Note that it may not always be possible to add URLs, depending on whether the string in question is used only in the GUI or on the command line as well.

Glenndk · 07-14-2010, 03:15 AM

Danish ought to be complete.

kovidgoyal · 07-14-2010, 09:35 AM

Cool, thanks.

I can speak and write fluently in french, so I can try and add my own knowledge to this request, if there is a need.

Thanks

kovidgoyal · 07-31-2010, 08:15 PM

The French translation is currently 100% complete, so no need.

machstem · 07-31-2010, 11:21 PM

I browsed around the link, some of the sentences don't truly fit in French grammar and structure.

This is definitely a nice community, it's nice to see the dedication of so many people to make such a project that much better.

Congrats.

kovidgoyal · 08-01-2010, 12:24 AM

Feel free to contribute corrections to the translations.

This phrase or word I need some help to get its semantics right:

739. backslashreplace
Located in /home/kovid/work/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/catalog/catalog_bibtex_ui.py:89

Is it "just" a text - can I translate it word part by word part?:
e.g. "replace backslash"
