E-commerce becomes more and more popular in these days, it even changes the ways of people and company conduct business.

Translation Overview

The project has 20,934 words with 20,934 words translatable as shown in below figure, it has 4,325 duplicate words in this project.

---

As shown in above figure, the translation project has 25 target languages, I work on simplified Chinese translation. The translation of this project is a little complicated because there were some simple parts that had been translated by different translators before, and there are few long paragraphs in this project, most of the items are short phases and sentences. Moreover, it has many embedded codes inside the untranslated items which makes the translation is not very trivial, especially for Chinese language since it has totally different characters compare to English alphabet.

This is my seventh contribution for OroCommerce translation project, there are 67% words before my contribution reported in this post as shown in below figure.

Word count details

This is my seventh translation work for this project, I contributed 600 words within last 24 hours which is indicated in below top member report.

---

For helping language moderator more conveniently inspect the number of words I contributed, I report the number of translated words before and after for the file I worked on as shown in below two subplots.

The first file I worked on reported in this post is validators.en.yml under OroOrderBundle/translations/ folder.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 100 - 54 = 46.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 46 + 15.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 46 + 15 + 63.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 46 + 15 + 63 + 37.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 46 + 15 + 63 + 37 + 169.

---

As shown in above before and after screenshots, the subtotal number of words I contributed is 46 + 15 + 63 + 37 + 169 + 42 = 372.

Because I overwrote some previous translations by others, the total number of words translated reported in top member report is not same as above calculation. For instance, as shown in below figure, the validators.en.yml file is fully translated by previous contributor, but I think I can provide more accurate translation, so I contributed the new translations, while cannot be reflected based on before and after screenshots of progress bar.

Comments

As I indicated in above sections, the project is divided into too many sub-folders, and most relatively simple words are translated by previous contributor. This situation makes me feel difficult to calculate how many words contributed every time based one the existing calculating methods on Crowdin website.

Moreover, in order to make the consistence of my translations with the previous translations or provide the more accurate translations, I have to overwrite the existing translations. For instance, the term of 'Payment' translated in this time, I translated it as '支付' to keep consistence.
