Dear translators, I have run some automated translation checks. I have fixed most of the issues myself, but some issues need review by the translation teams, if you have the time. You can download an archive of the remainining issues at: http://www.foramnagaidhlig.net/internal/widelands/po_validation.zip
We also have an issue with the definition of plural forms for Russian and Turkish. I am not sure what the correct rule would be and how Transifex handles those, so I have left them alone for now. Our list of unsolved bugs is shrinking, so we should have a release candidate for Build 19 in a few weeks. Thanks for translating, GunChleoc Busy indexing nil values

What is the best way to download the files for a single language? There are some, where the differences are intentional, e.g. "!" at the end of imperative sentences, and capitalisation of production programs (they go to the start of the sentence for hu). Is it possible to mark them as such?

The translation reports are generated using third-party tools so we have limited control; unfortunately quite a lot of the supposed errors are actually intentional. I usually ignore all the To download the checks, either clone the whole repo, or install a browser extension that allows downloading a single directory from a repo (I can recommend Refined GitHub) – annoyingly GitHub does not support this natively.

Hmm, looks like the check tool for printf doesn't like strings with real '%'… Looking at the description of the Refined GitHub browser extension, they say they use https://download-directory.github.io/ for this. So the URL for a language is:

A new round of translations checks is up. Additionally, all our Transifex sub-projects now use one shared glossary, so that the glossary for the main project is also available when translating add-ons.

going over the check results I realized that the handling of the elippsis (…) is different in the german translation an dthe source strings. While I confirmed with an internet researchg that the handling in german (with a space in front of the ellipsis) is correct I am not sure if the handling in the source (without space) is correct.

It's language-specific and correct. In English you always put the ellipsis directly after the word, without a space… And in German (also Low German), the ellipsis is separated from the word with a space … like this. Unless you're indicating a half-finished word in which case the space is omitted, like th…is

Still I am not sure about the usage in english as this https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/ellipses-definition-uses might imply our usage is wrong
