Problem with Translation

Hi,

I just started to work with OFBiz and while I am getting acquainted with it, I started to translate OFBiz to Brazilian Portuguese between watching videos and reading manuals.

So, I started with applications/accounting/config/AccountingEntityLabels.xml.

I am not sure about this one:

<property key="FixedAssetType.description.PRODUCTION_EQUIPMENT">
        <value xml:lang="en">The fixed asset used in the operation-routing definition</value>

Wouldn't the english version be <value xml:lang="en">Production Equipment</value> ?

I am probably missing something, since I have not used the software extensively. However, I would like to finish the whole file before move to another; and I can't imagine the translation will make any sense for a brazilian user. Well, actually my problem is that it does not make sense in english too.

Where should I look next?


Thanks

Raul S

Hi Raul,

The current translation looks incorrect to me, I would just directly  
translate Production Equipment.  If you are preparing a patch to be  
contributed back to the project then I would suggest that you don't  
mix any English corrections with the new translations or it will make  
a review of you work much more difficult.

Regards
Scott
