I found some typos:
Please enter a positive number for Tranport Stream ID
-->
Please enter a positive number for Transport Stream ID

Social politcal and economics
-->
Social, political and economic life
or
Social politics and economics

Music/ballet/dance
-->
Music/Ballet/Dance (with capital letters as for Musical/Opera)

Don't know if nPort COM is a typo:
  • Can't open IR remote control device on any COM nPort.
  • Also make sure the COM nPort is enabled in the BIOS and exists in Control Panel/System/Ports.

The ampersand at the start denotes underlining in some parts of the program.  So the M will be underlined as a keyboard shortcut.

Thank you. But I don't know if I should keep the ampersand in the translation as my transation doesn't begin with M. Should I write:
(&M) Créer un nouveau dossier
or
Créer un nouveau dossier
Same with Look &in:
(&i) Regarder dans
or
(&I) Regarder dans
or
Regarder dans

I also notice that the adjectif hard is still used. I think this adjectif should be depreciated as it refers only to HDD:

You can't use Mbit/s in some sentences and kbps in others.

Please add qualifiers for the words Work and Works. These have two different meanings if we talk about a work place or a musical work. I can't translate this word correctly in french because of these different meanings. The same problem appears in many other languages.

Thank you!

Amp is NOT a unit. Please use the right name of Ampere (singular) or Amperes (plural). Or the symbol A.

Same with kW hour. kW hour is NOT a unit. The right name is Kilowatt-hour (singular) and Kilowatt-hours (plural). Or the symbol kW-h.

Hello,

I'm not a developer and I don't know how much time it takes to change sentences or words in an interface. But I know that using the same writing in each menu and sub-menu helps a lot for those (like me) who work on translation. Here, the capital letters make us understand we are translating a title , not a part of a sentence.

On the other hand, an interface which is not similar everywhere will receive wrong translations. So it's up to you to determine if it's worse doing the changes.

When I highlight an album, many informations appear with no translation:
Plays: 0 / file
Played
Rating: no files rated
Most Played: no files played


And I don't understand the meaning of number of files played / file. Shouldn't be number of files played / total files?

Last but not least File should use the plural when the number of files are > 1.

The translations are still not available. I reported it 30 monthes ago...
