Bukkit

Just woundering did you guys perhaps get this idea after seeing this plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/devcredit/

Haha this is a nice idea.

I'm a native French from Toulouse :)

Maybe you're right, I just never saw a join message in present, since it was in past in English I thought it wasn't fit to put present there, when it was actually completely correct. I didn't notice it was meant to be in present tense and simply thought he forgot the verb (by lack of language skills). My mistake, apologies to the author of the original file, didn't mean to be so harsh on you. Even though I'm native, I'm not perfect :(

I also complete agree with the word-to-word translation. Many people do it for our english class and it just sounds dreadful. I never do it, but here as I had never seen a join message in present I thought it was a mistake. And yes, in some languages sentences can change quite a lot. I know that as I for my part speak French, English, and Spanish.

Again, sorry to venoxis1108. I saw a "mistake" and naturally corrected it, but then it appeared you were right the whole time. Hope I didn't offend you :)

Also, thanks for clearing that up NuclearW, that was the only problem with the file then, no more issues now! :)

No verb is missing, Présent and passé composé are both perfectly correct here and in my opinion the former sounds better. Sure it's not exactly the same as the original sentence, but a word to word translation is probably the worst translation one can make, you have to think about the meaning but also about how to make it easily understandable, how to make it "look" good. By the way if you look at the German translation you will notice that the word "game" isn't used, and I'm sure that's intended.

A lot of games use the present time in French for when a player joins the room / server. Also one advantage is that it makes the sentence shorter, French sentences are usually quite long compared to English ones.

@NuclearW

Well, I'm a native French speaker and the translation is incorrect. It's missing a verb and contains a fairly weird character... what?

Anyway, just saying. The original author of the French translation will either be realistic and find he made some mistakes, be arrogant and tell you his is better, or simply never ever notice this and that bad translation will end up there anyway.

It's weird the way localization can cause such a problem, you never know wether translations are real, correct, and awesome or evil and insulting! :(

EDIT: I actually didn't mean there even though it could seem implicit that his translation is insulting. It's just grammatically incorrect.

@drtshock

Found the language file.

French (FR-fr) translation (fixed)
Spanish (ES-es) translation

Totally support the plugin! Good luck fellow fruits!

Self-thought: Why isn't there a lemon option in the poll... T_T

EDIT: Also, I think you should most definitely link the languages on the main page directly, it would be simpler wouldn't it?

This plugin looks simply marvelous!

The French translation seems incorrect though, and there is simply no Spanish translation. Where can I get hold of the original English language file to translate?

@NuclearW

I hope you load the authors to a HashMap<List<String>, String> beforehand to check for author names and not against the actual files themselves :0

This should be in the default bukkit server :D
