Utopian.io: Russian Translation and Proofreading - Contributor report. EN/RU

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Often the translation is a routine and monotonous work, but this time I had an original story with the murder, revival of a dead body under another name, and happy end. How it was?

You probably know about Utopian.io, Steem-based platform, that rewards contributors to open source projects.
More than a week ago I started work on the Russian translation for the Utopian-landingpage project. In three days, 52% of the text was translated, and after that this project disappeared from Crowdin.com. It was unexpected for me to see this:

As it turned out, it was a test project and the author created it only to see how Crowdin works, but the translation in general was planned to be done on the GitHub (about which I learned later, reading his blog). I started too early and it was my mistake. Wait, but how about my work?
The next day, another project appeared on Crowd, which translators are working on right now https://crowdin.com/project/utopian. And it did not contain any single line translated by me:-( OOps!

But as it turned out that on Crowdin, as well as on Steem-blockсain, nothing disappears without a trace. @testz and the guys from Crowdin found translation memory (TM) of deleted project and connected it to a new one. That's how the recovered lines looked like, it only remained to confirm them:

Almost all the lines were recovered, not under my name, but the work is saved, and this is more important. Thank you very much, guys!

Next, I continued to work on the Russian translation in the current project, finished the remaining 49% of the translation and made a proofreading. Yep, proofreading of my own text:-)
I met some difficulties when translating strings about GitHub forks, pull requests and merges, because I'm not a coder and not very versed in technical details. These were incomprehensible things for me, and one good guy helped me with this

Yesterday Utopian.io had a serious update, a few languages are already added and I hope Russian will be among them soon.

Thank you for reading!

RU
Зачастую перевод это рутинная и однообразная работа, у меня же в этот раз получилась оригинальная история с убийством, оживлением мертвеца под другим именем, и хеппи ендом. Как это было?

Вероятно, вы знаете об Utopian.io, основанной на Steem платформе, которая вознаграждает вклады в проекты с открытым исходным кодом. Более чем неделю назад я начала работу над российским переводом проекта Utopian-landingpage. За три дня было переведено 52% текста, а после этого проект исчез. Внезапно...

Как оказалось, это был тестовый проект и автор создал его только для того, чтобы посмотреть как работает Crowdin, а сам перевод планировалось делать на GitHub (об этом я узнала позже, прочитав его блог). Я просто рановато начала, и в этом была ошибка.

Подождите, но как же моя сделанная работа! На следующий день появился другой проект на Crowdin, над которым сейчас работают переводчики https://crowdin.com/project/utopian. И в нем не содержалось ни одной переведенной мною строки:-( Опа!

Но как оказалось, на Кроуд, как и на Steem-блокчейне, ничего не пропадает бесследно. @testz и ребята из Crowdin нашли память удаленного проекта и подключили ее к новому. Вот так выглядели восстановленные строки, оставалось только подтвердить их.
Почти все строки удалось восстановить, пускай не под моим именем, но работа спасена, и это самое главное. Большое спасибо, ребята!

Далее я продолжила работу над Русским переводом в действующем проекте, закончила оставшиеся 49% перевода и сделала коррекцию. Ага, собственного текста:-)

У меня возникли некоторые сложности с переводом строчек, касающихся ГитХаба (forks, pull requests, merges), потому что я не кодер и не знакома с такими техническими подробностями. Это были просто какие-то непонятные для меня слова, и один добрый парень помог мне с этим.

Ссылка на полный русский перевод и фотоотчет прилагается.

Вчера на Утопиан было серьезное обновление, и несколько языков уже добавлено, надеюсь скоро среди них появится и русский.
Спасибо, что заглянули!

Thanks for the professional and soulful translation.
Looking forward to see Utopian in Russian!

We are Utopians! ;-)

Personal note: The guy who (more or less accidentally) deleted the translation was me. Shame on me... :( But I'm really happy you were able to continue your work, thanks to @testz. Your translation will be added to the landingpage as soon as @elear finds a moment to update it.

Thank you! :)

You're making me want to check on the Hebrew translation, knowing it will eat up hours of my time. Good work!

Much thanks!
Of course you can try it with Hebrew, I did not see it on the Utopian page, but you can ask and it will be made available for translation. Be sure, your time will be adequately rewarded.
What really takes a lot of time is Steem White Paper -12111 words, it's like 5 Utopian projects!

The main problem with Hebrew is the lack of RTL alignment options in ALL steem blockchain interfaces - utopian, steemit, busy... It sucks.

As for translating the steem whitepaper: yeah. That's a long text. I charge about 30 cents a word for translations so I somehow doubt it'll be worth the money. But the Israeli community would be grateful, so I might actually consider it.
