Hello translators!

One of MX's signature apps, mx-tools, has been improved with tooltips and additional functionality in order to make it more user-friendly. There are 17 new strings to translate, but most are very short, so there are only 86 words that need looking at.

This is not an urgent request, but as soon as the translations are complete we will be able to make the improved app available to our growing community of users.

Thank you!

Greek done!

German done!

We are halfway there. Still need assistance from our translators for:

• Catalan
  Dutch
  French
  Italian
  Spanish

Thank you

This is not an urgent request

I am taking this at face value...

That's right, it's not urgent. And December can be stressful. So when our translators want to take a break from all that hustle and bustle, grab a coffee and spend a few relaxing moments doing something you enjoy and that will be appreciated by a whole lot of folks. (As a bonus, the sooner you get around to it, the sooner you'll get that nice warm feeling - even if it's just the coffee.)

Sorry, I was far from home during the last ten days, and a small tablet in a hotel room is not the best way to translate anything, only to browse the forum. But just now I translated the new strings to Catalan.
I did my tiny part.

French done--as always, best if reviewed by a native speaker

Italian done.

Russian is done--by our new translator "RussianOlga."

Did the best I could on Dutch (really these days I am way busy with other things health concerned that I cannot even think straight; I am here, that's it) so I hope Ko picks up the remainder that I honestly have no idea how to translate some words..

Thank you for taking the time to help the project. Hope your health concerns take a turn for the better soon. Take care.

Dutch and Spanish now complete--and away we go!

Thanks eadwine, I picked up the remainder.
Indeed difficult, as there are no dutch words for some of the things, like persistence.....
Yes, one can make a 'relatively short' description of persistence, but that won't do in these multi-language translations.
[persistence = data kunnen opslaan tijdens live sessies, zodat die na opstarten weer beschikbaar zijn] That's too long.

I decided to not even try to translate such terms in this way.

I decided to not even try to translate such terms in this way.

That's what a lot of the translators did as well.

It might be better indeed to just use the terminology provided and regard and treat it as a name.
Oh is THAT what persistence means!

Thanks Ko!

And thanks Old Giza, hopefully soon I'll have a bit more energy. I saw these and went ARGHHHH hahaha. But they're done now

Eadwine & Ko - I can fully appreciate your problem. Years ago we had to train local (NZ) technical staff to maintain a communications
system built by Philips. All of the circuit drawings were annotated in Dutch. We had a fluent Dutch speaker in our team but she could not translate many of the technical words into English. Tech' speak is a problem in most languages.

Because they usually have to invent the word/s.
