Project Details:

According to its official website:

"GDevelop is an open-source, cross-platform game creator designed to be used by everyone - no programming skills required."

Let your creativity run wild and create any type of game you wish!

The tools?

Plenty!

Use the revolutionary tool of "events" and create games from scratch without any special programming knowledge. You can publish your work to the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and even Facebook Messenger; and if you are using the app, you can easily export your game to Android.

Tutorials and guides are available to help you make your first steps, and for the more advanced users, some Javascript will surely send your game to the moon... and further!

You can either make your games online or download the program on your computer and... let the game begin!

Here, I will be dealing with the website and my next stop will be the program itself.

Our developer Language Manager, @dimitrisp, will be in charge of proofreading and reviewing this project.

Why this project?

After completing Mura CMS, the open-source content management system, I had to go through the whitelisted projects again and find myself another piece that would not only be suitable for my skills, but also close to my interests. GDevelop seemed like a fun project with lots of potential and benefits to offer, so I spared no second thoughts and started translating it into my native language.

I am a creative person myself, therefore a project that "feeds" on people's creativity and offers chances to promote it and have fun, while sharing the final results with so many other users, seemed like something I'd like to help and spread the word about. The fact that games created with GDevelop are compatible with almost any platform, raises the chances of it being adopted by new users more easily. Don't forget that it's like a "game creator for dummies", armed with guides and tutorials to help the average user who wants to experiment and create their own game to share with their friends and why not... the rest of the world!

For all the above reasons, I would like to see more Greek speaking users try this game creator out, and this is why I am translating the project into Greek.

Contribution Specifications

Translation Overview:

The original text contains 2318 words, an easily manageable number. This project will be completed in 2 parts.

When I first started working on the GDevelop Website project, very few strings were already translated and approved. My job is to read those again and make sure they are correct and follow the wording and writing style I use throughout the project.

Languages:

The original text is all written in English and it is my task to translate it in Greek (my mother tongue).

The current session...

Activity Overview:

In the first session I started by checking the already approved strings to get an idea of what the other translator had done. Some of his translations were wrong, while others just didn't follow my writing style and I had to change them (I use the second plural as it is more polite, while he used the second singular in certain cases, so I had to change those). After checking what was already there, I decided to follow the text's "natural flow" of the strings and not start by fixing all the past translations. Strings with terms that I had second thoughts about or wasn't quite sure on how to translate, were left for the second part, because I needed to ask @dimitrisp's opinion too.

Wanna see some examples from the website?

"There are multiple ways you can contribute to GDevelop, depending on your time, your skills and what you're interested in." ="Υπάρχουν πολλοί τρόποι να συνεισφέρετε στο GDevelop, αναλόγως το χρόνο, τις δεξιότητες και τα ενδιαφέροντά σας."

or

"It's easy to get the source code of GDevelop and start improving things!" = "Είναι εύκολο να βρείτε τον πηγαίο κώδικα του GDevelop και να ξεκινήσετε να βελτιώνετε τα πράγματα!"

and

"For most beginners and even advanced users, tutorials and help page are the most valuable resources to create great games quickly. On the wiki, you can write tutorials or improve existing ones." = "Για τους περισσότερους αρχάριους, ακόμη και για προχωρημένους χρήστες, οι οδηγοί και η σελίδα βοήθειας αποτελούν τα πιο χρήσιμα εφόδια για τη γρήγορη δημιουργία υπέροχων παιχνιδιών. Στο wiki, μπορείτε να γράψετε οδηγούς ή να βελτιώσετε τους ήδη υπάρχοντες."

Word Count:

According to Crowdin's word count tool, in this session I translated 1150 words. After subtracting a rough 5% for untranslated words that were mainly gaming terms like "shooter" and "platformer" (I chose to leave such words in English as they are common words Greek gamers meet every day, so the original English word is better understandable for them); I can say that I have translated about 1092 words.

TL;DR

This time I am working on a cross-platform game creator. In this session and the following, I will be translating the official website. After this is finished, I will start translating the program that is more difficult than the website. The proofreader and reviewer role is in the hands of @dimitrisp, who has checked and approved my work. In this session I translated about 1092 words. Given the fact that the project is about 2300 words long, the second part will be of the same volume.
