Hi,

This is not really about a bug, so i thought this place might be the one tho,

So, as i was downloading the latest version of Promods, using the French options, i just noticed how the text is brokenly translated and full of horribles grammar and orthographic mistakes

So who shall i speak to to offer better and less eye-hurting translation ?

All translations are in desperate need of fixes, however I need to rebuild the translation engine and don't really have time to do that now

Is it that big to just change the text ?

I don't know much about web editing.

We have many languages there, so it requires changing it many times to update all translations.

Question was more like, if you were given fresh translation, would it be easy enough for you to update it ?

The problem is the current translation is a file of 200 lines in php strings .. .like "caption text"; ...

If you want to update the translation you need to manually copy paste 200 lines and match them exactly between quote marks. This is very time intensive and annoying.

The new system will take all translations from the database which means you can simply update the language in a web form.
