Thomas James addressed some of these already: http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/Translation-not-possible-td7437892.html#a7439725 You can always check the i18n hints out anytime by searching through audacity.pot: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/locale/audacity.pot or viewing the i18n hints in poedit or your favourite editor. > - Line Time > - Smooth Time > - Presmooth Time For all these: "i18n-hint: The English would be clearer if it had 'Duration' rather than 'Time' This is a new experiemtnal (sic) effect, and until we have it documented in the user manual we don't have a clear description of what this parameter does.. It is OK to leave it in English." Also see this which as about as close to documentation as we have: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/browse/audacity-src/trunk/lib-src/libscorealign/README.txt?r=10680 Some translators have 100% complete translations - how do you translate this? If you want to translate it I would suggest (from a glance at the above link) to translate "Time" as "Length", "Line" as a "line" drawn on a graph, "Smooth" as "Smoothing" or "the act of making a smooth alignment" and "Presmooth Time" as "the length before the smoothing alignment". > Spectral Processor It's a category for a type of plug-in interface called LV2. This is not available in default Audacity; only people who can compile Audacity on Linux are likely to be able to turn it on and compile it. See: http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core/#SpectralPlugin "Plugins that alter the spectral properties (e.g. frequency) of audio". You could use a word related to the one you use for Analyze > Plot Spectrum in Audacity. > - Note key This is only for LV2 synth plug-ins, so again not in default Audacity. "Note key" is the same as a "note" in music (for example, "middle C") I would guess. > - VBL It's an option when you do Custom FFmpeg Export. It is an abbreviation for "Variable Block Length". I think we could change the string to "Variable Block Length" after 2.0.1 - the custom FFmpeg Export dialogue has enough room now. > - FFT Find Notes This is also "experimental" and not in default Audacity. "i18n-hint: FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform and probably shouldn't be translated" "Notes" means "musical notes" much as above as far as I know. > - Grabber "i18n-hint: A 'Grabber' is a region you can click and drag on It's used to drag a track around (when in multi-tool mode) rather than requiring that you use the drag tool. It's shown as a series of horizontal bumps" > - Zoom in or out on Mouse Pointer When you place your mouse pointer on the waveform, you can hold CTRL and then move the scroll wheel or ball forwards to zoom in centred on where the mouse pointer is. Similarly, moving the wheel or ball backwards with CTRL held down zooms out centred on the mouse pointer.
