I really think the name would look odd translated... I agree with Steve
Dodier, this is good enough :
Name[fr]=Breathe
Comment[language]=Thème d'icônes Breathe
If we were to try to keep it consistant with the slogan (Because Humans need
Oxygen to Breathe), we could use a translation of the name... For example
"Parce que les Humains ont besoin d'oxygène pour respirer", but I think an
infinitive form ("respirer") is strange, an imperative could be better :
"Respire" (like "*Breathe*!", not like "You need *to breathe*")...

So do we all think we need to keep the name and just translate the comment? Similar comments have been made on the forums so far. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

As said when I posted it, it needs some work. It's actually based on the Oxygen one. Generally I like it, target-like or not. ;) It's obvious I'm willin' to use something different as I've made 2 specific calls (and mentioned it in other threads) for a start-here so get to work. :) -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Translation help needed.
Ok we got a ton of folks from around the world here so I think we can get this one shaped up pretty well. We need to get the Breathe "Name" and "Comment" section translated. I have a forum post showing the needed languages. (everything but English really) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6693528&postcount=2 I'll be taking submissions there and the ML. Please format submissions like: * Name[language]=X * Comment[language]=X ATM the English ones are: * Name[en_GB]=Breathe * Comment[en_GB]=Breathe Icon Theme Thanx!! -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
