Update english translation master file BEFORE a 0.7 RC arrives

[Diapolo]

This is a reminder, to ensure the Transifex translators have enough time to catch up with the massive changes that will happen in 0.7 and happened before. Last official update was before 0.6 got final!

While I was checking the master file I found "bitcoin" with a lowercase b letter, shouldn't it be with uppercase like "Bitcoin"?
Example: "Send coins to a bitcoin address" should be "Send coins to a Bitcoin address"

[Diapolo]

@burger2 I think you are right and bitcoin should be written uppercase, so if you can post the string and the occurences in the master file (click on Details in Transifex and copy the line that reads lile: "Occurrences: ../forms/aboutdialog.ui:14" I will try to get this fixed ASAP.

[burger2]

"Send coins to a bitcoin address" - Occurrences: ../bitcoingui.cpp:207
"Modify configuration options for bitcoin" - Occurrences: ../bitcoingui.cpp:243
This should not be uppercase if it referes to a filename. But I post it here as i found it with a lowercase b letter "bitcoin-qt" - Occurrences: ../bitcoingui.cpp:419

[burger2]

And two more here:
"The entered address "%1" is not a valid bitcoin address." - Occurrences: ../editaddressdialog.cpp:96
"Welcome to the bitcoin RPC console." - Occurrences: ../rpcconsole.cpp:195

Opened pull #1289.

I found some text that isn't in the translation master file. Check screenshot and the red text (out of sync) and it's tooltip

I downloaded bitcoin-bitcoin-v0.6.1-336-g20cb17e.tar.gz from github and compiled with a freshly downloaded Swedish translation from Transifex as the one that was included the tar.gz file was very old.

@burger2 You are right, and that's not new to me, current Transifex master file is behind the real project status. Before I can update the master file, I need someone, who is able to create the bitcoinstrings.cpp file, which is created via some Linux scripts.

Opened #1397 for this.

[Diapolo]

So, current translation master is now on Transifex, I'll wait a few more days for the translators to catch up and then create a pull, which includes all available translations from Transifex.

100% up to date are currently:
(English)
French
German
Russian
Turkish

[burger2]

Swedish now at 100%

[Diapolo]

Dutch is currently at 100%, too.

@laanwj Can you please create a current bitcoinstrings.cpp file once more, before the RC-phase begins? As I was told lang-updates are possible during the whole RC-phase we have quite some time for this. I'll keep an eye on the translations and will fetch the current translations before we push a new master-file to Transifex.

Done, updated english translation as well as bitcoinstrings, see #1580

When translating, I noticed that there are quite a few duplicate strings (or even triplicate). I don't know if this is inevitable, but for consistency it should be avoided I think? Especially the longer ones.
Anyway, I scanned the source, so here they are:

Address
Alt+A
Alt+P
Amount
&Sign Message
&Verify Message
Balance:
Clear &All
Comma separated file (*.csv)
Could not write to file %1.
Date
Enter a Bitcoin address (e.g. 1NS17iag9jJgTHD1VXjvLCEnZuQ3rJDE9L)
Error exporting
Form
Label
Mined
Open for %n block(s)
Open until %1
Paste address from clipboard
Received with
Sending...
Sent to
Sign a message to prove you own a Bitcoin address
Type
Usage:
Verify a message to ensure it was signed with a specified Bitcoin address

[Diapolo]

@Dr-Nix I observed this too, while doing the German translation. I'm not sure though, if this because we use a different switch when creating the master file (which removes source- and ui-file line-references from the translation files) or if they were there before that change. Can you remember perhaps?

[laanwj]

Those are the same string, but used in different contexts (classes), so they may be translated differently in some cases. At least Qt Translator pre-fills them automatically AFAIK if it sees a duplicate.
