0.47 about screens in progress

Hi
Thanks to all who confirmed or added their translation (some translations still need to be confirmed!). Wiki page updated (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation). Johan is very busy at the moment, thus I've started to translate the screens by myself. I've tried Excellentia, but due to a very limited accents support, I've finally switched to Harabara Hand (http://www.dafont.com/harabarahand.font). The only drawback is that it doesn't support Cyrillic and other Unicode characters. Since I haven't found a nice script Cyrillic font, the Russian screen uses URW Chancery L (a default Ubuntu font). It's not a script font, but it looks better than a Times or Arial in this context. The translated screens are now (revision 22547) br, fr, it, nl, pt_BR, and ru. Could you please take a look at the screens and tell me what you think of the chosen fonts before I continue? Johan, do you want to keep your original untouched, or replace the "draw freely" font by Harabara Hand (or another script font)?

Actually, for the German translation I suggest using lowercase for "zeichnen" (I've updated it on the Wiki). For some reason, the formulation sometimes sounds slightly clumsy to me (it sounds OK right now but didn't quite an hour or so ago ;-) ) but I can't come up with a better translation at the moment.

OK, my apologies for changing it without discussing first (although I believe it was justified in this case because the current spelling is wrong). I've now added my comments to the wiki instead.

I think it is because I read the English "Draw freely" as an imperative form. So in German and Dutch that would make "Zeichne frei" and "Teken vrij". Unfortunately, the double meaning of 'free' is lost in translation :(. Personally, I feel the text should not be translated to Dutch at all. It is uncommon and strange in Dutch to translate catchphrases like this. Ciao, Johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

New screens translated (revision 22549): be, es, fi, gl, hu, pl, sk, sl, uk.

I've found a free version of Pushkin font (the script one used in 0.46 screens), called newPushkin (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Pushkin?content=106881). All the screens (except the original one, since I still don't know if I can change it) are now translated with this font.

Almost anyone understands english over here, and any dutch translation will probably have an awkward feeling about it.

The translations use (new)Pushkin because the author wanted to reuse the 0.46 font. Thus I won't change it except if Johan asks me to. I noticed that this font has a misdrawn "ł" letter. Maybe the author will correct this. Fortunately the Polish translation of the About screen doesn't contain an ł.
