== Friday, September 18th 2015 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Community day ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you subscribed for the community day, you should have received instructions by e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting point is &#039;&#039;&#039;at&#039;&#039;&#039; EuroDisney at &#039;&#039;&#039;9:45&#039;&#039;&#039;. The theme park opens at &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00&#039;&#039;&#039; and closes at &#039;&#039;&#039;21:00&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will leave from the park at &#039;&#039;&#039;18:30&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How to get there ====&lt;br /&gt;
The best option is to take the Metro/RER. This takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes:&lt;br /&gt;
* take metro &#039;&#039;Line 13&#039;&#039; from the hotel to &#039;&#039;&#039;St Lazare&#039;&#039;&#039;, then&lt;br /&gt;
* take metro &#039;&#039;Line 3&#039;&#039; from &#039;&#039;&#039;St Lazare&#039;&#039;&#039; to &#039;&#039;&#039;Havre-Caumartin&#039;&#039;&#039; (1 stop only),&lt;br /&gt;
* take the express train &#039;&#039;RER A&#039;&#039; to &#039;&#039;&#039;Marne La Vallée-Chessy&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** check on the platform display before boarding: not all trains go to Marne La Vallée-Chessy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;N.B.:&#039;&#039;&#039; You should buy a ticket to Marne La Vallée at the metro station. The ticket is valid for the entire journey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Evening drinks ===&lt;br /&gt;
We will meet at a bar, in front of the hotel, for drinks (soft and beers), at around &#039;&#039;&#039;20:30&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Location / main venue ==&lt;br /&gt;
The venue is in Paris (France), 9th district, near St Lazare:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Criteo&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
32 rue Blanche&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Payment ==&lt;br /&gt;
The local currency is the Euro. Merchants are forbidden from accepting other currencies (except exchange).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most venues will accept EMV credit and debit cards (i.e. Chip &amp;amp; PIN), at least VISA and MasterCard. Swipe-only cards can be more tricky (it has been illegal for banks to issue them for years in France, so only foreign visitors use them). American Express is widely but not universally accepted. Diners/Discovery, UnionPay, JCB, etc. are mostly only accepted in shops catering to tourists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best change rates are close to the Hotel, Metro Bourse, Vivienne Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Transportation ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Connectivity ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Power supply ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AC power sockets are &amp;quot;French&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;&#039;IEC type E&#039;&#039;&#039;. Connectors from &amp;quot;German&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;&#039;IEC type F&#039;&#039;&#039; countries should fit safely, as they are usually bi-standards. There should have a hole for the French-style ground pin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The electrical system is &#039;&#039;&#039;220V / 50Hz&#039;&#039;&#039;. If you come from outside Europe, please make sure your devices are compatible beforehand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Internet ===&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully, there will be Wi-Fi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: item [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example:&lt;br /&gt;
demux vs. demuxer vs. demultiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
: demuxer [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mux vs. muxer vs. multiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
: muxer [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or ending with -plexing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is this referring to the same thing? If so, I would like to have the same words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Playback Rate&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Playback speed&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Revert to normal play speed&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: it should be speed [[User:J-b|jb]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Disagree. We should just merge this option into one [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
: It is normal [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/panoramix.c:117 and following lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:1213&lt;br /&gt;
Previous string is used again with an appended extra sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;
: will fix [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:172&lt;br /&gt;
: will fix [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
: done [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On vlc 1.1.13: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;visualizers-&amp;gt;visualizer&lt;br /&gt;
will show an effects list like&lt;br /&gt;
modules/visualization/visual/visual.c:44&lt;br /&gt;
Does selecting one here have any effect at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When looking at &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;filter  or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;video-&amp;gt;filter &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get a list of filters to apply. What is the reason for this strings being different from those to the left?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:No se|No se]] 09:51, 3 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Binary variables/flags ==&lt;br /&gt;
Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:48 and following lines show several integers instead. I would prefer simple checkboxes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Defines if BarGraph information should be sent (default 1)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Would become:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Send BarGraph information&amp;quot; or similar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possibly something similar:&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/rss.c:167&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:No se|No se]] 15:21, 2 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== possible typos ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Colon at the end of strings? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
share/lua/http/dialogs/mosaic_window.html:96  and following lines is an example. I did not find this messages while running vlc so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a general policy whether/when strings should end with a colon? This will not really bother translators, it&#039;s more &amp;quot;for consistency&#039;s sake&amp;quot; (and a bit for &amp;quot;similar but different&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
I won&#039;t suggest simply moving the colon at the end to an untranslated colon behind it, since it may lead to sentences ending in &amp;quot;.:&amp;quot; or similar. On the other hand, I won&#039;t expect translators to put a colon after a single word, if there isn&#039;t a colon in the original string. Complete sentences shall end with a period anyway (colon will work, too), so using them won&#039;t bother me, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Source is ASCII only - unlike the translation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source is ASCII only (is it?) [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#nonascii_strings]. The translation is not restricted that way. So you can use for example … (ellipsis) instead of ... (three period characters) or locale-dependent quotes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2.1.0 Rincewind TODO ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several strings differing only in capitalization. But before deciding the capitalization for each of them, check spelling (one word/two words).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Disagree. We should just merge this option into one [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;

Previous string is used again with an appended extra sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On vlc 1.1.13: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;visualizers-&amp;gt;visualizer&lt;br /&gt;
will show an effects list like&lt;br /&gt;
modules/visualization/visual/visual.c:44&lt;br /&gt;
Does selecting one here have any effect at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When looking at &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;filter  or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;video-&amp;gt;filter &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get a list of filters to apply. What is the reason for this strings being different from those to the left?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Colon at the end of strings? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
share/lua/http/dialogs/mosaic_window.html:96  and following lines is an example. I did not find this messages while running vlc so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a general policy whether/when strings should end with a colon? This will not really bother translators, it&#039;s more &amp;quot;for consistency&#039;s sake&amp;quot; (and a bit for &amp;quot;similar but different&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
I won&#039;t suggest simply moving the colon at the end to an untranslated colon behind it, since it may lead to sentences ending in &amp;quot;.:&amp;quot; or similar. On the other hand, I won&#039;t expect translators to put a colon after a single word, if there isn&#039;t a colon in the original string. Complete sentences shall end with a period anyway (colon will work, too), so using them won&#039;t bother me, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Source is ASCII only - unlike the translation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source is ASCII only (is it?) [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#nonascii_strings]. The translation is not restricted that way. So you can use for example … (ellipsis) instead of ... (three period characters) or locale-dependent quotes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There are several strings differing only in capitalization. But before deciding the capitalization for each of them, check spelling (one word/two words).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 msgmerge -v --sort-output  emptydummyfile.po vlc.pot &amp;gt; sortedlist.po&lt;br /&gt;

 Force the DirectShow video input to use a specific frame rate(eg. 0 means default, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
 Force skipping of idct to speed up decoding for frame types(-1=None, 0=Default, 1=B-frames, 2=P-frames, 3=B+P frames, 4=all frames).&lt;br /&gt;
Missing a space before &amp;quot;(&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;Psychadelic is just wrong&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

synchronisation is also a correct spelling; less common in the US, but still correct in the rest of the world &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Playlist is currently Empty&lt;br /&gt;
I will make it empty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audiobar Graph&lt;br /&gt;
This one is different for &amp;quot;Audio Bar Graph Video&amp;quot; will not match completely. Just ignore it, like I will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those are easy, and I can provide a patch (or several if preferred) of course.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Disagree. We should just merge this option into one [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
: It is normal [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:1213&lt;br /&gt;
Previous string is used again with an appended extra sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On vlc 1.1.13: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;visualizers-&amp;gt;visualizer&lt;br /&gt;
will show an effects list like&lt;br /&gt;
modules/visualization/visual/visual.c:44&lt;br /&gt;
Does selecting one here have any effect at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When looking at &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;filter  or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;video-&amp;gt;filter &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get a list of filters to apply. What is the reason for this strings being different from those to the left?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:No se|No se]] 09:51, 3 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Colon at the end of strings? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
share/lua/http/dialogs/mosaic_window.html:96  and following lines is an example. I did not find this messages while running vlc so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a general policy whether/when strings should end with a colon? This will not really bother translators, it&#039;s more &amp;quot;for consistency&#039;s sake&amp;quot; (and a bit for &amp;quot;similar but different&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
I won&#039;t suggest simply moving the colon at the end to an untranslated colon behind it, since it may lead to sentences ending in &amp;quot;.:&amp;quot; or similar. On the other hand, I won&#039;t expect translators to put a colon after a single word, if there isn&#039;t a colon in the original string. Complete sentences shall end with a period anyway (colon will work, too), so using them won&#039;t bother me, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Source is ASCII only - unlike the translation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source is ASCII only (is it?) [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#nonascii_strings]. The translation is not restricted that way. So you can use for example … (ellipsis) instead of ... (three period characters) or locale-dependent quotes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 2.1.0 Rincewind TODO ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several strings differing only in capitalization. But before deciding the capitalization for each of them, check spelling (one word/two words).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Prepare your environment  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VLC requires a C compiler, development headers and a toolchain. gcc will do but you could also use LLVM or proprietary C99/C++ compilers such as Intel&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you build from the [[Git]] repositories, you will also need the GNU build system, a.k.a. the &amp;quot;autotools&amp;quot; (autoconf, automake, libtool and gettext) to setup the Makefiles. Make sure they are up-to-date and usable for your system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fedora:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo yum install git libtool&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Get the source  ==&lt;br /&gt;
Start by [[GetTheSource|getting the source]], using FTP for official releases, or using [[Git]] to track VLC development. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your are using an official release, download source code, extract the archive and go into the resulting VLC directory, e.g.:&lt;br /&gt;
 % wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/1.1.11/vlc-1.1.11.tar.bz2&lt;br /&gt;
 % tar xvjf vlc-1.1.11.tar.bz2&lt;br /&gt;
 % cd vlc-1.1.11&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are using the [[Git]] development version, start by bootstrapping the source tree:&lt;br /&gt;
 % cd vlc&lt;br /&gt;
 % ./bootstrap&lt;br /&gt;
Bootstrapping will fail if the autotools are missing or out-of-date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Get the third-party libraries  ==&lt;br /&gt;
Now you could configure the VLC build. But first, you need to make sure that all the required dependencies are in place. Take a look at &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;./configure --help&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt;. Take a good look at that enormous list of options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is very important that you do install and enable all the 3rd party libraries that you need. Yes, there is going to be a lot of them if you want a complete or even mostly functional VLC build. If you fail to install a required library, you will end up with a VLC application that well..... essentially does not do anything useful. See [[Contrib Status|here]] for a complete list.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
There are some very important dependencies: gettext (NLS) for international support (required), libdvbpsi for MPEG-TS files and streams support, libmad for MP3 audio decoding, libmpeg2 for MPEG1 and MPEG2 video support, FFmpeg or libav (libavcodec, libavformat, libpostproc, libswscale and optionally libavio) for MPEG4 and most other audio and video codecs, and many file formats, liba52 for Dolby (AC3) sound, dvdread and dvdnav for DVD playback, live555 for RTSP stream playback, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For audio output, you will need probably alsa-lib (on [[Linux]]) and/or libpulse (for [[PulseAudio]]).&lt;br /&gt;
For video output, you will normally need XCB/XVideo and/or OpenGL/GLX.&lt;br /&gt;
And Qt4 is required to get the GUI support.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; that you need to install the development packages (development header files and import libraries) to compile VLC, not just the run-time. On Debian/Ubuntu, the correct package names end with -dev. On RPM distributions, they usually end in -devel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Be careful!&#039;&#039;&#039; If the libraries are not provided by your distribution, you may be better off linking VLC with them statically. Otherwise, you may encounter version problems if another multimedia application updates the libraries later. This is especially true of FFmpeg or libav, and live555.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a several ways to get those libraries. You should use only one method at a time: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=== The preferred method ===&lt;br /&gt;
Use your distribution packaging or portage system, in order to get all the needed libs.&lt;br /&gt;
For example on Debian or Ubuntu: &lt;br /&gt;
 # apt-get build-dep vlc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
openSUSE users might have a look at the source-install (si) command in the zypper manpage:&lt;br /&gt;
 # zypper si -d vlc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The method for badly-behaved distributions ===&lt;br /&gt;
If your distribution does not provide the needed libraries,&lt;br /&gt;
or you really want to link VLC statically, use the VLC contribs system. It is included in the VLC source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, you need to install the GNU autotools (if you have not already done so), CMake, subversion, Git and a recent GNU/tar utility or equivalent. Then you can run:&lt;br /&gt;
 % cd contrib&lt;br /&gt;
 % mkdir native&lt;br /&gt;
 % cd native&lt;br /&gt;
 % ../bootstrap&lt;br /&gt;
 % make&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; the commands above are for VLC 1.2 or later. Details differ slightly for older versions:&lt;br /&gt;
 % cd extras/contrib&lt;br /&gt;
 % ./bootstrap&lt;br /&gt;
 % make&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That should download and build a lot of those libraries for you.  Unfortunately, given the large number of libraries and the variety of the platforms people build VLC for, it is not unlikely that you will hit an error while contribs are compiling. Thus, this approach is only recommended for experienced Unix compilers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The method for people with too much time to waste ===&lt;br /&gt;
Read the [[Contrib Status|list]], download them and build them by hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regarless of the method ===&lt;br /&gt;
In any case, some basic OS support libraries are not included and must really be installed through the packaging system in any case, notably [[ALSA]], [[PulseAudio]] and [[OpenGL]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Configuration  ==&lt;br /&gt;
You probably need to tweak the &amp;quot;configure&amp;quot; line. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;./configure&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; is used to check whether your system is able to compile VLC. Also you can choose the features in your build. As a reminder, this command will show the various options:&lt;br /&gt;
 % ./configure --help&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=== Special libs  ===&lt;br /&gt;
Use &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;--with-live555-path=path/to/livemedia/source/tree&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; in connection with --enable-live555&amp;amp;lt;/tt&amp;amp;gt;. For FFmpeg or libav, pkg-config is the only reliable way for VLC&#039;s configure to find the libraries. So you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH correctly if your FFmpeg/libav libraries are not installed at the default prefix (meaning /usr) or you want to use static linking. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Final configuration  ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to install VLC into another directory, run &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 % ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/folder/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an example of a typical VLC configure line: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 % ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --enable-sdl --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat \&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-swscale --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav \&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-faad --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv --enable-freetype \&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/lib/live \&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --enable-qt4 --enable-ncurses&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[User:J-b#VLC_configure_line|Here]] is another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ubuntu ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you get continuous errors while ./configure then consider reinstalling the corresponding libraries. This will set the paths and other information correctly. Check the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH(environment variable) whether it is set to a path where the libraries like libavcodec.pc are available. Otherwise create the environment variable, export it and then update the ldconfig.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Compilation ==&lt;br /&gt;
Compile VLC: &lt;br /&gt;
 % make&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You do not need to install VLC to use it. You can also simply run it from the build directory:&lt;br /&gt;
 # ./vlc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you really want to install VLC to the system, run this as root:&lt;br /&gt;
 # make install&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can uninstall later with this, but you need to keep the build tree untouched until then:&lt;br /&gt;
 # make uninstall&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To remove files created during the compile (optional) type:&lt;br /&gt;
 % make clean&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cygwin ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compiling on [[Win32CompileCygwin|Cygwin]] may be broken from time to time as Cygwin packages change.&lt;br /&gt;
We recommend [[Win32Compile|cross-compiling from Linux to Windows]] instead. &#039;&#039;&#039;Consider yourself warned.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Debian/Ubuntu ===&lt;br /&gt;
Debian users who want to compile VLC should install the packages below:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libavcodec-dev libavcodec-dev] &lt;br /&gt;
*[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libpostproc-dev libpostproc-dev] &lt;br /&gt;
*[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libmpeg2-4-dev libmpeg2-4-dev]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you just want to &#039;&#039;use&#039;&#039; VLC media player then simply install the package vlc (&amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;sudo apt-get install vlc&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt;) - the unstable version is fairly up-to-date most of the time, while the stable is, err, stable and very old&amp;amp;nbsp;;-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Troubleshooting / common problems ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lua ===&lt;br /&gt;
You may need to install Lua if you get &amp;quot;LUA byte compiler missing.&amp;quot; message. You namely need to install &amp;quot;luac&amp;quot;, the Lua byte compiler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Debian/Ubuntu:&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo apt-get install lua5.1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fedora:&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo yum install lua&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== XCB ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VLC 1.1 and later requires XCB libraries to deal with X11 displays. Do not disable XCB or you will not get any video support!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To install these libraries run the following commands (Debian/Ubuntu):&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo apt-get install libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xv0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-composite0-dev&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Fedora:&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo yum install libxcb-devel xcb-util-devel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For OpenGL (Debian/Ubuntu only), you will additionally need XLib with XCB:&lt;br /&gt;
 % sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb-dev&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your distribution provides a version of XLib without XCB, then this later package will not be available. So you will not be able to use OpenGL. Use XVideo instead.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[User:No se|No se]] 09:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Disagree. We should just merge this option into one [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
: It is normal [[User:J-b|jb]] 00:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;filter  or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;video-&amp;gt;filter &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get a list of filters to apply. What is the reason for this strings being different from those to the left?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
share/lua/http/dialogs/mosaic_window.html:96  and following lines is an example. I did not find this messages while running vlc so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a general policy whether/when strings should end with a colon? This will not really bother translators, it&#039;s more &amp;quot;for consistency&#039;s sake&amp;quot; (and a bit for &amp;quot;similar but different&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
I won&#039;t suggest simply moving the colon at the end to an untranslated colon behind it, since it may lead to sentences ending in &amp;quot;.:&amp;quot; or similar. On the other hand, I won&#039;t expect translators to put a colon after a single word, if there isn&#039;t a colon in the original string. Complete sentences shall end with a period anyway (colon will work, too), so using them won&#039;t bother me, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Source is ASCII only - unlike the translation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source is ASCII only (is it?) [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#nonascii_strings]. The translation is not restricted that way. So you can use for example … (ellipsis) instead of ... (three period characters) or locale-dependent quotes.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;

I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a general policy whether/when strings should end with a colon? This will not really bother translators, it&#039;s more &amp;quot;for consistency&#039;s sake&amp;quot; (and a bit for &amp;quot;similar but different&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
I won&#039;t suggest simply moving the colon at the end to an untranslated colon behind it, since it may lead to sentences ending in &amp;quot;.:&amp;quot; or similar. On the other hand, I won&#039;t expect translators to put a colon after a single word, if there isn&#039;t a colon in the original string. Complete sentences shall end with a period anyway (colon will work, too), so using them won&#039;t bother me, either.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/panoramix.c:117 and following lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:1213&lt;br /&gt;
Previous string is used again with an appended extra sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On vlc 1.1.13: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;visualizers-&amp;gt;visualizer&lt;br /&gt;
will show an effects list like&lt;br /&gt;
modules/visualization/visual/visual.c:44&lt;br /&gt;
Does selecting one here have any effect at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When looking at &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;filter  or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;video-&amp;gt;filter &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get a list of filters to apply. What is the reason for this strings being different from those to the left?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;

== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On vlc 1.1.13: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
settings-&amp;gt;all-&amp;gt;audio-&amp;gt;visualizers-&amp;gt;visualizer&lt;br /&gt;

Does selecting one here have any effect at all?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example:&lt;br /&gt;
demux vs. demuxer vs. demultiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mux vs. muxer vs. multiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or ending with -plexing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is this referring to the same thing? If so, I would like to have the same words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Playback Rate&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Playback speed&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/panoramix.c:117 and following lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:1213&lt;br /&gt;
Previous string is used again with an appended extra sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:172&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Binary variables/flags ==&lt;br /&gt;
Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:48 and following lines show several integers instead. I would prefer simple checkboxes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Defines if BarGraph information should be sent (default 1)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Would become:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Send BarGraph information&amp;quot; or similar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Looks like a complete sentence but misses a period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missing a space after the period: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:41 &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:45 &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What shall be the correct spelling for barGraph vs. BarGraph? &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example:&lt;br /&gt;
demux vs. demuxer vs. demultiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mux vs. muxer vs. multiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or ending with -plexing&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example:&lt;br /&gt;
demux vs. demuxer vs. demultiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mux vs. muxer vs. multiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or ending with -plexing&lt;br /&gt;

== similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... strings were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/panoramix.c:117 and following lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:172&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Binary variables/flags ==&lt;br /&gt;
Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:48 and following lines show several integers instead. I would prefer simple checkboxes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Defines if BarGraph information should be sent (default 1)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Would become:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Send BarGraph information&amp;quot; or similar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Looks like a complete sentence but misses a period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Another example:&lt;br /&gt;
demux vs. demuxer vs. demultiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mux vs. muxer vs. multiplexer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or ending with -plexing&lt;br /&gt;

== strings are similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 /* DVD and VCD devices */&lt;br /&gt;
 #define DVD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;DVD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define VCD_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;VCD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 #define CDAUDIO_DEV_TEXT N_(&amp;quot;Audio CD device&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEVICE     NULL&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CD_DEVICE      &amp;quot;D:&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 #else&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default VCD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define CDAUDIO_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default Audio CD device to use.&amp;quot; )&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/video_filter/panoramix.c:117 and following lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:172&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to find interesting parts of the translation:&lt;br /&gt;
 vlc -H | grep &amp;quot;1=&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you will find several &amp;quot;position on the video&amp;quot; which is another example of similar but different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Binary variables/flags ==&lt;br /&gt;
Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:48 and following lines show several integers instead. I would prefer simple checkboxes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Defines if BarGraph information should be sent (default 1)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Would become:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Send BarGraph information&amp;quot; or similar.&lt;br /&gt;

I would suggest a split. Don&#039;t think splitting a sentence in more than 3 parts makes sense. Would be even more difficult to build a sentence around a string, because the translators won&#039;t even notice that this are parts of the same line. This is my suggestion:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;This is the default drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
respectivly&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;quot;This is the default device to use.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the short form in the line above. Or in the same line right in front. Should give something like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device&lt;br /&gt;
 This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
OR&lt;br /&gt;
 Audio CD device: This is the default device to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:191&lt;br /&gt;
This part is used for audio and video. Could possibly be split, too.&lt;br /&gt;
Caution: Sentence in line 188 uses audio and video. Don&#039;t know, if this is intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Listing up the choices of a select box ==&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a select box, I don&#039;t see any use in listing the possible choices in a string next to it. An example is fine, some special hints or a link to faq/wiki/whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opening the pot-file and search for &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot; (the end of one element, a comma, a space and the beginning of the next element) will give you what I found, too:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;, \&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/demux/subtitle.c:56&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/access/dshow/dshow.cpp:172&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_output/file.c:81&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just make sure there really is a select box. If the strings are displayed elsewhere, they might be of use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Binary variables/flags ==&lt;br /&gt;
Those are fine for translation normally. With the right text (look at the guidelines here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modules/audio_filter/audiobargraph_a.c:48 and following lines show several integers instead. I would prefer simple checkboxes.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Defines if BarGraph information should be sent (default 1)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Would become:&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;Send BarGraph information&amp;quot; or similar.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Target / Item ==&lt;br /&gt;
When refering to playlist items, some of the current strings use &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Plays the next target in the playlist&amp;quot;), and some use &amp;quot;item&amp;quot; (like &amp;quot;Go to next item in the playlist&amp;quot;).  Which one should we use (for consistency&#039;s sake)?  I put my vote for &#039;item&#039; as it seems more sensical.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 07:45, 2 April 2006 (CEST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== strings are similar but different... ==&lt;br /&gt;
... were mentioned by somebody. So I had a look at the pot-file. Note: I did &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; check this in a running vlc, nor do I have that much experience in this field (giving advices how to translate software, or prepare for translation). So feel free to comment, state other points of view, or simply say that some points are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best example so far:&lt;br /&gt;
src/libvlc-module.c:875 - 899 quoted for possible changes:&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
 #if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( __OS2__ )&lt;br /&gt;
 # define DVD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD drive (or file) to use. Don&#039;t forget the colon &amp;quot; \&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;quot;after the drive letter (e.g. D:)&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
 # define VCD_DEV_LONGTEXT N_( \&lt;br /&gt;

     &amp;quot;This is the default DVD device to use.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
