Allright, I had a good laugh at the translation of the "Create Post" Button. I'm a native german speaker and it makes me feel a little nostalgic but also it has a touch too much satire. I think a more professional way to translate this button would be one of these:

  1. "Post schreiben"
  2. "Beitrag Schreiben"
  3. "Neuer Beitrag"
  4. "Beitrag"

(Depending on how much space is available)

"Neuer Beitrag" would be best imo.

Translations are all pretty much crowd sourced ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Anyway, I can change this. Also, for anyone who wants to make changes or whatever, feel free to open a PR on GitHub if you want to make modifications ๐Ÿ‘

Anyway, I'll bookmark this and update tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I don't use GitHub and I think I don't even know how to "open a PR" as I am not a developer - I guess explaining you how to use a multi-band compression on a master bus would be equally confusing to you :P but thanks for being so responsive here on Lemmy!

yeah I would also prefer a different translation instead of this forced german ich_iel thing...

or just give us the option to switch language for the app, but this is also already addressed :)

What does it currently say?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It says "Pfostieren" which is german but a comedy version of the actual translation ๐Ÿธ
