[strings] some Hindi translations

[j13m126]

I used wikidata to translate a few strings into Hindi.

Here is the query for wikidata query service I used to get the country names:

SELECT ?country ?name_en ?name_hi WHERE { ?country wdt:P31 wd:Q3624078. ?country rdfs:label ?name_en. ?country rdfs:label ?name_hi. FILTER (LANG(?name_en) = 'en') FILTER (LANG(?name_hi) = 'hi') }

For the states of India I replaced Q3624078 with Q12443800 in the query above.

For the amenites, shops and cuisines (d70afd0) I used Google Translate exclusively, wikidata wasn't helpful here.

Thanks! There are also data/strings/sounds.txt and iphone/plist.txt

@j13m126 do you read Hindi?

[j13m126]

@j13m126 do you read Hindi?

I do not, no. But I guess a bad translation is better than no translation. Also, I translated back some words into a third language I know for homonyms like bank.

I am not sure about that. Let's wait for somebody who can review.

@jaivsh please take a look

I wrote a post on reddit asking for help with proofreading and, thanks to Pidwid, already got some feedback on shops. He said he will do amenities soon.

Access should work now. Will add suggestions in the evening.

[Saurmandal]

Proofread Hindi translations.

[j13m126]

These are the changes suggested by pidwid. Some have already been corrected, so please let me know if I should add these suggestions to the search terms or also replace them. @Saurmandal

[rtsisyk]

Folks, why do you use spreadsheets here? How can we improve this process?

[biodranik]

There is an easier way to proof-read and fix translations by anyone who does not know how to work with Github and add suggestions here.
You can download these text files and edit them manually, and then send them back to us in a .zip archive at translations@organicmaps.app, or attach them here into a comment:

Please read the comments in each file and try to understand the context first. The language code for Hindi is hi. Try to follow the sort order when inserting the string. Please don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear. And thank you for your help and efforts! 🙏

1. Looks like there are many missing translations for types (e.g. Industrial Area, National Park...) and the app's interface. Were they lost accidentally, or it is just a work in progress?

   2. The search does not work. At least [[Search categories]] section in strings.txt should be translated and match categories.txt translations.

   3. Does it work on Android?

   4. The last commit misses DCO.

Alright, I added a few interface strings, translated search categories and made sure they match categories.txt translations.
I could copy a bunch of interface strings from bing maps by comparing the hindi and english version. I double checked every word with google translate in order not to copy the wrong word.

I tested in on my Pixel 6, running Android 14. Switching phones and also the apps language. I could also enable and hear TTS in hindi. But only on my phone, not on my samsung s6 lite tablet (Android 13). Hindi wasn't an option there.

Countries etc. in the map download section are currently not showing the hindi names, even though I provided some in countries_names.txt.

If you need any more important interface strings, let me know, otherwise I'd like to leave it as is.

rebased

[rtsisyk]

Let's finish and merge this PR. Could you please re-base it again?

[Jean-BaptisteC]

Rebase is not enough :(
Can you rebase and regenerate strings?

Right, I forgot. Thanks!

[Jean-BaptisteC]

@biodranik ready to merge
@j13m126 thanks for your patience :)

[biodranik]

@vng PTAL and merge if it's ok with a postfix if necessary.

[biodranik]

Thank you for such a great contribution!

[vng]

Are we sure that regenerated strings are ok here?

• I don't see android strings file
• iOS localization file has a lot of English strings

[biodranik]

@Jean-BaptisteC can you please check if Hindi is working on Android, and also check if each of the search categories works (categories.txt matches types_strings.txt)?

[Jean-BaptisteC]

Translations and searches in Hindi works on Android

[biodranik]

@j13m126 thank you for your work! There are still many untranslated strings left. Can you please review the strings.txt file again and add the missing translations? Or build OM from source and see which names are not yet translated?

[j13m126]

Sure, I'll have a look at it. 👍
