Something like: "Save buffer before rewinding" "Rewind paused during buffer saves" "Rewinding waits until buffer is saved" ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I am however a native speaker in dutch, so I can provide a list of translations. If there are multiple translations possible, I give more than one option. All the different translations have slightly different meanings. "Permashift out of memory!" Permashift heeft geen geheugen meer! Geheugen van Permashift is vol! Permashift heeft geen ruimte meer! "Press key to continue permanent timeshift" Druk op toets voor uitgesteld kijken Druk op toets voor permanent uitgesteld kijken Druk op toets om uitgesteld kijken voort te zetten. "Auto-buffer live TV" directe TV met automatische buffer directe TV (auto-buffer) "Enable plugin" Toepassing activeren plugin activeren "Memory buffer size" Geheugengrootte buffer Buffer saving blocks rewind terugspoelen wacht op veiligstellen buffer terugspoelen wacht op opslaan buffer terugspoelen geblokkeerd, wacht op opslaan buffer "Maximum recording length (hours)" Maximale opnametijd (uren) Kind regards, Cedric ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

That's a cool idea, I'm just unsure how many compromise I should take for the SD TV watchers, which I don't know how many there are, but surely won't become more over time. And HD users got lots of space for the texts. So I'll guess, SD users (like me) will have to live with some texts cut at the end. Thanks for your translation!

For support of SD TV displays it would be good to have every line except the first two to be smaller than say 35 characters, if possible. Full line texts * "Permashift out of memory!" * "Press key to continue permanent timeshift" Short texts * "Auto-buffer live TV" * "Enable plugin" * "Memory buffer size" * "Buffer saving blocks rewind" (This means that pressing rewind results first in saving of the whole buffer and rewinding has to wait for that time.

"Paina nappia jatkaaksesi pysyvää aikasiirtoa" "Puskuroi TV-lähetystä" "Ota liitännäinen käyttöön" "Muistipuskurin koko" "Buffer saving blocks rewind"??? "Pisin tallennusaika (tuntia)" I find the English string ambiguous, as in "Verbing weirds language" or "Time flies like an arrow". I guess that "blocks rewind" is verb+noun here, instead of noun+verb. If that is the case, I think that you should write "Buffer saving blocks rewinding" to make it more clear. Or maybe even: "Rewinding saves buffer first" (omitting "the" to keep it short). Assuming that this is the intended meaning, I would suggest the following translation: "Taaksepäin kelaus tallentaa puskurin ensin" which is obviously too long for a short string. Maybe we can use the English word for the button name: "Rewind tallentaa puskurin ensin" or even a graphical symbol "<<" (ASCII) or "◀◀" (two U+25C0) in place of "Rewind". (I did not find any media-control characters in Unicode, except U+23CF EJECT SYMBOL.) "◀◀ tallentaa puskurin ensin" Maybe the same would work in other languages too: "◀◀ saves the buffer first" Best regards, Marko ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
