Factorio Forums

I noticed someone removed all the item-names with a '2' behind them. They are used in Dutch because some words lose a letter when they become plural 'plaat' -> 'platen'. In English this doesn't happen, so that's why they're available in Dutch but not in English. So what we did is:
stone-brick=Baksteen
stone-brick2=Bakstenen
This way we have access to the singular and plural form of the word without any trouble.

I don't have time now to put them all back, but if someone could do that in the next pull request, that would really help.

Yeah, that was my brilliant intervention, sorry
I did a compare with the english version and thought these were strings that were removed from the game.

I'll do a complete check-over this weekend and put them back in

Ok, great, your translations were very good, so I look forward to your new translations this weekend.

Thanks, I updated the translations for 0.10.5

Hi all,

New here, but have owned Factorio for a while and recently came back to it after seeing some youtubers play it again.

Anyway, I'm a professional translator, and I might want to contribute to the project. I will have to see how much I can or want to do after translating all day for work though. I had a quick look at the files already and the main thing I noticed is that 'ingrediënt' is used. I believe that is only used for food recipes, so it is a bit odd. 'Component' would be better, I guess.

Hi, that would be great if you helped with the translations. But just one thing to be sure: We have moved to crowdin, so there is not much point in editing the translation files directly.

Nice. Added some translations. The translations with the highest count gets automatically in the game?

What do you mean by highest count? If votes, then yes, the translation with highest number of votes is used. If you mean number of translated strings in a language, then no, we actually use all of them, even though some don't work that well.

Thanks, I meant votecount .

Why does it say this on the site:

Translated, but Needs to be Voted:
Dutch
approved: 0%

I'm quite sure there are more than zero votes on the translations

The aproved translations is something else than translations with votes. It means that the translation is in some way fixed and officially correct. We don't use these.

Okay, thanks

I have added a few translations. For behemot I would use gigantic. Can't come up with anything else sounding logical. And for medium I would use middelgroot. And I think I should not discuss translations here? Or can we? Or should we do it on that page?
