All,
We have a new resource file up on Transifex at:
https://www.transifex.com/anticapitalis ... mxfb-docs/
I believe these strings are menu items used in Fluxbox, so they are short and lack much context. If you have any questions, please feel free to post here. Also, it won't matter if you include the quotes in the translation or not. It isn't required. Please give it a look when you can and as always, your assistance and time is much appreciated!
-Roy

Keys.. do you mean like on a keyboard, or something else?

Thanks for the question. In FB, keys means special keywords or key combinations associated with with an action:
--tile a window
--launch an application
--change the volume
--etc.
The word is specific to the WM so I would either leave it untranslated or just use a literal translation with the word for a context such as "the keys of my laptop aren't working with MX, should I go back to Windows?"

Must fix the Swedish translation. Was completely wrong when I guessed what kind of keys it was.

Thanks. There may be more of this sort of problem since the menu entries have no context.

BTW: did everybody understand "Out of sight" to mean: "Get it out of my sight, I don't want to see this"?

"Uit het zicht" is how I translated that. Roughly means out of view, not visible.

Translated it with the Swedish word for "Hidden".

Dear Jerry3904,
Do not translate this expression into French as "à l'abri des regards". It does not mean anything.
I give an example in French for "à l'abri des regards"; Nudists have to stay out of sight so as not to be seen from the public highway in Belgium.
This expression in English should be transformed because the term hidden does not define the actions of the sub-menu at all.
That's why I translated it as "Other actions on the screen".
Best regards,
Wallon

Should not be translated, since it is the name of the config file. Same is true for other entries under "Configure": Apps, Keys, Overlay, the Menu names, and Startup.

Dear Eadwine Rose,
In French, if I'm angry at a child, I'll tell them out of my sight = "hors de ma vue". That doesn't fit all the sub-menu toggle something.
I think it's a kind of phrasal verb that has no correspondence in French.
Best regards,
Wallon

Thank you Eadwine, I learned a new term "shrug" in English.
My daughter also does this when I reprimand her :)
