| Summary | 0009616: Confusing French translation: request tokens from Android. | ||||
| Description | When we did the testing with french android users. The testers were confused by the term used to complete the operation: "Créer une facture". ‘Create an invoice’. They didn't understand that this command was used to complete the operation so that the QR code would appear. All 4 testers stalled at this stage. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In the wallet, click on request and go to the last step of the operation. | ||||

It is always good to see the image of the bug. Great to see it attached to the ticket. Well, "Create an invoice" is long gone in the English version of the Android wallet. We had in French before "Créer une demande" which corresponds to the now implemented "Create request" (see https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?q=Create+a+request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum=#history and https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=0ef2f18dd337a916&sort_by=-priority,position#history). Is "Créer une demande" the right expression? And what should we write for "Request money from another wallet"? |
|
|
"Créer une demande" would be the litteral translation for "Create request". I don't know what's the most clear: perhaps to show that we've reached the end of the operation, using the term: "Finaliser la demande" ‘Finalising the request’ would be the clearest. For "Request money from another wallet", the french translation will be: "Demander de l'argent à un autre portefeuille". |

The transaction flow is as follows: (1) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=2dc98a1d7ba6539f&q=Request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is the "Request-Action-Button": 'Request' in French now: "Demande" - But this should actually be a verb! ---> "Demander" (2) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=9bee51aaee485e76&q=Request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is an information about the current step for the user: 'Request money' in French now: "Demande de paiement" - But this is semantically and grammatically wrong and should be "Demander de l'argent" (3) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=0ef2f18dd337a916&q=Request+money+from+another+wallet&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is the header info (Key receive_peer): 'Request money from another wallet", the French translation suggested by you: "Demander de l'argent à un autre portefeuille". (We had "Demander un transfer depuis un autre portefeuille" before) (4) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=835870f3e8d930d7&q=Request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is a question prompting the user to agree or abort: 'Do you want to pay this request?' is in French now: "Voulez-vous payer cette demande ?" (5) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=a375a830d73f6fc6&q=Request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is the confirmation button text: 'Pay request' is in French now "Payer la demande" (6) https://weblate.taler.net/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/fr/?checksum=c9631de2c23f3ae3&q=Request&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition - This is the final success info: 'Request paid' is in French "Demande payée" (1) and (2) and (3) need a rectification, and I am positive with your suggestion for translation. (4) and (5) and (6) are correct to my eyes. Please comment, @Emmanuel. |
