From what i can see "picture frame" only exists in one string.
Maybe change "picture frame" to just "frame" so its easier to understand how to translate it, or is there a reason its called "picture frame" and not just "frame"?

The YUV4MPEG2 header is compatible with mplayer yuv video output and requires YV12/I420 fourcc. By default vlc writes the fourcc of the picture frame into the output destination.

This string might be missing a newline.

Selects the motion estimation algorithm: - dia: diamond search, radius 1 (fast)
- hex: hexagonal search, radius 2
- umh: uneven multi-hexagon search (better but slower)
- esa: exhaustive search (extremely slow, primarily for testing)
- tesa: hadamard exhaustive search (extremely slow, primarily for testing)

Maybe change "ie." til "i.e.":

This sets the audio output channels mode that will be used by default when possible (ie. if your hardware supports it as well as the audio stream being played).

Maybe change "`" to "'":

You can select which VoD server module you want to use. Set this to `vod_rtsp' to switch back to the old, legacy module.

All fixed.

I don't see a lot of my suggestions being changed on Transifex.

Am i suppose to see the changes now on Transifex or do i have to wait some time?

I want to check which of my suggestions have been changed and not.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You have to wait a bit for No_Se to reupdate the transifex.

[scootergrisen]

Ok.

Seems to be missing spaces and maybe unnessary newlines in this string, so maybe change from:

If this property is blank, different values
for DVD, VCD, and CDDA are set.
You can define a unique one or configure them
individually in the advanced preferences.

To:

Seems a word is missing before " can be reencoded on the fly." in the following string.
Maybe the word is "stream" or "file"?

This allows saving a stream to a file. The can be reencoded on the fly. Whatever VLC can read can be saved.
Please note that VLC is not very suited for file to file transcoding. Its transcoding features are however useful to save network streams, for example.

[scootergrisen]

This string might have a missing ")" and maybe missing "." at the end. Or maybe its being followed by another string?

This allows you to add overlays (also known as "subpictures" on the transcoded video stream. The subpictures produced by the filters will be overlayed directly onto the video. You can specify a colon-separated list of subpicture modules

[scootergrisen]

In the console when you type "help" you get a list that seems to be 55 in width.
The following strings does not follow that 55 width.

| frame. . . . . . . . . . play frame by frame
>
| frame. . . . . . . . . . . . . . play frame by frame

| get_time . . seconds elapsed since stream's beginning
>
| get_time . seconds elapsed since stream's beginning

When i go to the View menu and select "Customi&ze Interface..." the dialog that appears is titled "Toolbars Editor".

Would it not be better to have these two strings be more the same?

Like:
"Customi&ze toolbars..."
"Toolbars Editor"

Or:
"Customi&ze Interface..."
"Interface Editor"

Or:
"Customi&ze toolbars..."
"Customize toolbars"

Or something like that.

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

[scootergrisen]

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 to:
"Select"
"Select"

[scootergrisen]

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..."

[scootergrisen]

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 'Add To VLC's Playlist')
>
Add context menu items ('Play With VLC' and 'Add To VLC media player's Playlist')

[scootergrisen]

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.

[scootergrisen]

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

[scootergrisen]

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

[scootergrisen]

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

[scootergrisen]

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

[scootergrisen]

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 this permission display your video in a popup over other applications.
Show the contextual popup menu.
Show notification popup on track change
Show a notification popup with the artist and track name when the current playlist item changes, when VLC is minimized or hidden.
Show media change popup:
