Translations of Main Menus

... and other I18N TDM-platform strings that are not FM-specific. Estimates of percent translated are derived primarily from results from gen_lang_plus with its -missing option.

As of TDM 2.14, english.lang defines 1347 #str_ phrases (and presumably a similar number in the [english] section of all.lang). If, for a given [english] #str_ ID in all.lang, either:

1. there's no matching [language] #str_ ID; or
2. there's a matching [language] #str_ID, but with the same phrase as [english], and it's not marked with the comment "// stays the same"

then that is counted as "untranslated" (i.e., missing).

Phrases considered "translated", shown in declining count order:

• catalan - 1265 (94%)
• russian - 1232 (92%)
• french - 1197 (89%)
• german - 1195 (89%)
• turkish - 1193 (89%)
• hungarian - 1190 (88%)
• polish - 1183 (88%)
• slovak - 1164 (86%)
• italian - 1142 (85%)
• romanian - 1137 (84%)
• spanish - 1102 (82%)
• danish - 1095 (82%)
• portuguese - 1034 (77%)
• czech - 998 (74%)
• dutch - 142 (11%)
• swedish - 136 (10%)

Caveats:

• Because of certain problems (multiline comments, duplicate entries), these numbers are estimates, not definitive.
• Some phrases shouldn't or can't be translated (e.g., PC function keys), or are the same in English and the other language, even if not marked with "// stays the same".)
• These estimates do not account of any possible platform text left hard-coded in English text, so not represented by a #str_.
• These estimates do not account for platform aspects with no translation mechanism, e.g.:
  • Readme's about potential games to select
  • Barks and subtitles (common to all FMs)
