I have posted an issue on our repo about this: https://github.com/Minecolonies/minecolonies/issues/1736
Our source strings in default.lang are of low quality.
Punctuation is inconsistent:
Usage of parameters and : is inconsistent and hard to understand for translators:
Some are really messed up:
What needs to be done here:
- We need to define guidelines on how we address the players and what punctuation we use.
- We need to document these guidelines so new source strings have a guideline.
- We need to clean up the source file to ensure all strings are consistent.
I will post this as an utopian task request with the category Translation, but this will require a pull request to the translation branch of this repo with a markdown file documenting the guidelines and a fix for our source strings.
I suggest you add a new folder here and add a link to the document here.
I offer one 100% vote (roughly $20) and a resteem for this completed task as an utopian contribution.
If you want to start this task, I suggest you start a discussion under this post or on the github issue with your suggestions on how we should decide. Once a form of consensus is reached, fork the repo and make a pull request to the translation branch with the changes required. There will be more discussion on the pull request. Once that is merged, you can make an utopian contribution.

Is this still up for taking? I'm willing to work on this, even if I can't finish 100% of it I can set the guidelines for you. I have previous experience in programming, ofc.
Oh yes, please do! That would be awesome!
Nice! Is there anywhere I can contact the entire team? Or just github? The open source contributors are not important, they will just follow whatever rules the team agrees on.
Actually, if there's 1 person that's the main dev that'd work too. I need to grasp the concept of what some of these strings do and I'll get to work.
We have a team slack that I can invite you. And a discord server you can join.
