If you think translations should be context-specific, give this proposal a thumbs up!
Hey all, is anybody willing to contribute some amount to the development of this feature?
My estimate would be about USD 5,000.00 to get a nice solution to this problem. If we can collect some money, the proposal above will become a paid feature request towards Frappe. If needed, I can pool the money from different contributors and update the issue with the current amount.
Things that need to be financed:
-
Think about a good architecture, building on what I have described in the issue above
-
Extend the translation tool to allow one translation per context
- Big potential for improvements of the translation tool. Any excess money could be spent on this.
-
Add some context to all translations in the code (could be partly automated)
-
Test and review changes
-
Write documentation
@Martin_Seibert, @wojosc, @dominik, @itsdave, @lasalesi are you willing to contribute some amount to a nice German translation?
Aren’t there German words that more versatile words that can take different meanings based on the contexts here?
I submit to your powers.
I submit this document.
We’ll keep on using the English interface for now. So this is not a priority for //SEIBERT/MEDIA. I understand, that a high end German interface will help adoption in Germany and local markets. I would offer that we contribute 500 USD if at least three others are found that contribute as much. Maybe @rmehta can make the ERPNext foundation pitch in with another 500 USD. This is for all local markets and should be a good cause to help the software spread …

Thanks, Martin!
I will contribute USD 500,00 as well.
If course, there are German words with multiple meanings, but not the same as in English
For your example, I don’t know a German word that would fit both contexts.
Thanks Martin for moving first here, libracore will also be contributing USD 500 this and support on the translation files for German.
Great, thank you, Lars!
I`m in with 500USD, too.
Has someone experience with declaring such support as bussiness-expense in Germany?
Thanks for your support, David!
Frappe will write a normal invoice for this.
