Please make more strings translatable!

The "Translate Lichess" button at the bottom of the site already allows us to translate some of the app's string to our languages;
but there're still some "always english" strings...

Please, go through the source code, and make the remainder translatable as well!

Thanks!

(shamelessly bumping up my own topic)

some examples of "always english" strings:

in the "Games" tab:
"Advantage"
"Inaccuracy"
"Mistake"
"Blunder"
"Request a computer analysis"
"View the computer analysis"
"View PGN"
...

in the "Forum" tab:
"Create a new topic"
"New topic"
"Subject"
"Message"
"Author"
"White/Black plays; checkmate in one! This is a chess CAPTCHA. Click on the board to make your move, and prove you are human."
"Create the topic"
"Reply to this topic"
"Reply"
...

when creating an account, logging in:
"It is not required to signup. You can play as anonymous. Signup if you want to save your played games and have an Elo ranking."
"Please fill out this field."
"Text is too short."
"Required."
"This user already exists"
"Invalid username or password"
...

at the bottom of the page:
"Wiki"
"Feedback"
"Source code"
"Monitor"
"Translate Lichess"
"Ping"
"email me"
"Developers"
"Facebook app"
...

would be a pleasure to me to translate these!

some more strings:

when creating an account:
"Invalid username. Please use only letters, numbers and dash"

sometimes I have connection problems, and it says:
"Reconnecting"

when failing a chess captcha:
"Not a checkmate"
"Retry"

any chance?

I'd like to rejoice my compatriots by tranlating them!

in the inbox:
"No message!"

composing a message:
"To:"
"Subject:"
"Send"

in the "Play" tab:
"Open tournaments"
"More"
"rated"
"Join"
"Create a new tournament"

when creating a new team:
"Cannot create a team"
"Text is too long."
"You have already created a team this week."
"Go Back"

in the player's profile:
"Profile"
"Elo history"
"%s bookmarks"
"Change password"
"Change your password"
"Current password"
"New password"
"New password (again)"
"Apply change"
"Close account"
"Close your account"
"Are you sure you want to close your account? You will no longer be able to login!"
"I changed my mind, dont't close my account"
"Close my account"
"This account is closed."

advanced search:
nearly everything :-(
see http://lichess.org/games/search

also, it would be nice to have an international or localised time and date format. currently it uses some national format of USA or UK :-(

You're right, I should make all (or most of) that translatable... I hesitate because then it's a lot of work to review and apply and merge all translations people send. I need to be available to do it quickly (before people send redundant translations) and I'm traveling at the moment, so it's never the right time.

But it will come eventually.

About the dates and numbers, they already are formatted accordingly to the user locale.

For instance, look at the games dates:

• in english http://en.lichess.org/games/checkmate
• in french http://fr.lichess.org/games/checkmate

Thank you very much!!!

I just wanted to hear that it is on the to-do list.
No need to hurry, it isn't urgent. Enjoy your holidays/travelling!

About the dates/times: Actually, I was referring to the "more exotic" languages.

For example the Galician language:
http://gl.lichess.org/games/checkmate

I think it's a very good idea that you format dates/times according to the system/user locale.

But what locale should be used if no user locale is available for a specific languages?

My suggestion:
2013-02-15 13:48:00
(the time of your last post)

I think that's pretty international.

I'm relying on the Java date localization for date formatting, it's pretty good but indeed it does not handle Galician :-/

I'll see if I can detect lack of support for a language and then format it to "2013-02-15 13:48:00".

thanks!
