[Qgis-tr] Tool to help users find out what terms are translated to

[Stott, James]

Hi Mark,

Werner and I have spoken about the language codes for Norwegian before. We use the ISO 639-1 codes. 

There are two official Norwegian languages, bokmål and nynorsk. The iso code for bokmål is nb and nynorsk is nn. It is bokmål that we are translating so we have used nb. no is an inclusive code that covers both. It is possible that one day we will translate nynorsk.

I have requested Norwegian bokmål via the transifex website for both the website and the documentation. We are already set up for the GUI, and I am already a  coordinator there. Werner is going to update our translation there for us tomorrow and we are going to start using transifex for the GUI.

Many thanks

James

Hi Scott,

I see that both documentation and website are not yet translated in norwegian yet?

Question: is there a difference between 'no' and 'nb'?
Because is see that desktop is using nb for norwegian, and I'm wondering if no is maybe more general in use...
We try to minimize the number of languages, by choosing the more general language codes instead of the codes which have a language part on them (like nl instead of nl_NL for us).

Reading this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language
it's not clear to me which is the best code to use?

Tips?

And please let me know if you want norwegian translation made possible for website and docs too: register on https://www.transifex.com/organization/qgis/dashboard and ask for it there.

Regards,

Richard
