The VideoLAN Forums

Yaah! it seems like the old stuff (vlc-2.0, vlc-2.1) have finally been removed from Transifex so its shows more correctly how fully each language is translated.

Where can i translate the strings found in vlc.desktop file?

Name=VLC media player
GenericName=Media player
Comment=Read, capture, broadcast your multimedia streams

Can these strings be put on transifex or are there any reason why there are not there?

Hello again... I would still, again, one more time :) suggest that the old resources called "vlc-2.0" and "vlc-2.1" to be removed from Transifex if they are not used for anything. They are so big that when i use "All resources" on Transifex the browser is really slow to...

Could anyone tell me what vlc-2.0 and vlc-2.1 is being used for if anything? If i go to https://www.transifex.com/yaron/vlc-trans/language/da/ and select vlc-2.1 and then View strings online i can't see the strings. There are none. But i can download the file (with strings inside). But for some reas...

Some strings use "popup", but two strings use "Pop-Up". So i suggest making them the same what ever you want to use. Maybe P and U should be small characters? Play video in a Pop-Up window Playing in a Pop-Up window Allow VLC player popup over other apps VLC needs you to grant th...

Suggest adding "...":
Jump to Specific &Time
>
Jump to Specific &Time...

I suggest just calling it bookmarks, unless some medias comes with theyr own bookmarks but i dont know any that do:
Custom &Bookmarks
>
&Bookmarks

Is this string not wrong?:
Visit the VideoLAN VLC media player Website

Maybe:
Visit the VLC media player Website
Visit the VideoLAN Website
Visit the VideoLAN Classic media player Website

Both these strings exists, maybe one of them should be correct (Codec/Codecs) or removed?
Input & Codecs Settings
Input & Codec Settings

A lot of string have trailing space like "text ".
I suggest checking those strings and removing the trailing spaces where they should not be one.

Should these two string not have the same "Add to X's Playlist" text? Add to VLC media player's Playlist Add context menu items ('Play With VLC' and 'Add To VLC's Playlist') So maybe: Add to VLC media player's Playlist > Add to VLC's Playlist Or: Add context menu items ('Play With VLC' and...

Can you fix there two i suggested earlier so they don't have space before "...". They still have space on transifex:

"Downloading ..."
>
"Downloading..."

"Open skin ..."
>
"Open skin..."

Where is the correct place to suggest changes to the source language (english) when i found some errors?
I have written in the forum, but it seems some of my suggestions have not been fixed.

For example:
"Downloading ..."
>
"Downloading..."

Should that page not be updated?

Because as far as i can tell jessie is stable, stretch is testing and wheezy is obsolete.

So change:
Debian stable (wheezy)
Debian testing (jessie)
Debian unstable (sid)

To:
Debian stable (jessie)
Debian testing (stretch)
Debian unstable (sid)

Yeah but that is not the latest stable version.
Its 2.2.0-rc2 Weatherwax, but i want the latest stable version (2.2.1).

I have Debian jessie and want to install the latest stable version of VLC + translation. I'm not used to using Linux. I go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-debian.html and read about wheezy, but i have jessie. Can i install the wheezy one even though i'm using jessie or will that give problem...

Tools > Messages.
Bottom left where is says Verbosity there is a small box for some text like "1 (warnings)".
But the box is not wide enough to display "1 (warnings)".
So i suggest making the box wider.
Like 50% wider or something like that.

Using Windows 7 + VLC 2.2.1.

The following strings (used in VLM Configurator dialog) has "Input" and "Output" on them, but it is not nessasary, because it already says "Input:" and "Output:" to left of the buttons: "Select Input" "Select Output" They could be changed t...

Maybe this string should be more simple:
"Select and choose transcoding options"
>
"Choose transcoding options"

In Adjustments and Effects dialog (Tools > Effects and Filters) in Video Effects > Overlay tab it says: "Transparency", "none" and "full". But when the slider is set to "none" the image is transparent, and when set to "full" it is not transparent. So...

In Playback > Chapter sub menu it says "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", "Chapter 3" and so. Even when VLC is using other language then english. Are these names "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", "Chapter 3" actually taken from the file/disc or where does t...

"&Post processing..." in Video menu seems to be missing.

I will write here when i find strings in VLC that are not translateable so they can be added to translation so we can translate the strings.

If i toggle fullscreen with double click the menu item Fullscreen does not toggle on/off. So if i select Video > Fullscreen to go fullscreen, then double click to leave fullscreen, look in Video menu and Fullscreen is toggled on, even though the player is not in fullscreen. Click on Video > Fullscre...

When i change chapter in Playback > Chapter the toggle left of "Chapter X" changes to the one i select. Like i would expect. But if i detach the Chapter sub menu by selecting the - - - - - line above "Chapter 1" and then change chapter (in the detached menu), now the toggle comes...
