Mistranslation in the french version

Beitrag von tofpouce »

I'm french and i'm so disturbed with these french translations that i use the english version (and it's not easy with Mac OS).

First, Layer Mask is translated by Calque de masque in PHOTOLINE (it's a Google translation that does not mean anything). Layer Mask is correctly translated by Masque de calque. The same tool is translated by Masque de calque in THE GIMP, and by masque de fusion in PHOTOSHOP. It's much more understandable.

Second, the name of the tool Curves… is very easy to understand in english. But it is translated in french by Luminosité/contraste… (Brightness/contrast…) which is quite different and does not show what this powerful tool can do. A much better translation would be Courbes… which is the tranlation used in PHOTOSHOP.

I hope very much that these suggestions will be considered in a future release of PHOTOLINE. These would make PHOTOLINE much more pleasant to use in French.

Hi,

the translation is not made by Google, but by our French distributor.
We don't want to change his translation. Please contact him
