Minecolonies – Define consistency guidelines for translation source strings

I have posted an issue on our repo about this: https://github.com/Minecolonies/minecolonies/issues/1736

Our source strings in default.lang are of low quality.

Punctuation is inconsistent:

Usage of parameters and : is inconsistent and hard to understand for translators:

Some are really messed up:

What needs to be done here:

1. We need to define guidelines on how we address the players and what punctuation we use.
2. We need to document these guidelines so new source strings have a guideline.
3. We need to clean up the source file to ensure all strings are consistent.

I will post this as an utopian task request with the category Translation, but this will require a pull request to the translation branch of this repo with a markdown file documenting the guidelines and a fix for our source strings.

I suggest you add a new folder here and add a link to the document here.

I offer one 100% vote (roughly $20) and a resteem for this completed task as an utopian contribution.

If you want to start this task, I suggest you start a discussion under this post or on the github issue with your suggestions on how we should decide. Once a form of consensus is reached, fork the repo and make a pull request to the translation branch with the changes required. There will be more discussion on the pull request. Once that is merged, you can make an utopian contribution.
