German language interface - Corrections/Improvements

Post by gdtkjgtdkg »

Cmap Tools Version: 6.01.01
OS: Windows 7

Hello,

in the Cmap Tools editing window in the English version you find the menu "Edit" and the entry "Delete".
In German there is no entry "Delete" (which would be "Löschen"). Instead there is only "Keine Treffer". I only found out that "Keine Treffer" is suppused to be the translation of "Delete" when I switched the language on Cmap Tools.

Before I was very confused what "Keine Treffer" might mean as it makes no sense at all. Its meaning in German is "No hits", as in "this search delivers no hits" ("there were no results on this search"). So I was a bit confused when I richt-clicked on a line between a concept and a linking word and tried out "No hits" (to see what it means) and the line disappeared.

So yeah, just change "Keine Treffer" to "Löschen" and your German users will officially be able to *delete* things in their maps.

I titled the topic as though I had several suggestions to make 8which I don't right now). This is because I guess in the future I might come up with more helpful suggestions that I'd post in the same thread.

Cheers,
gdtkjgtdkg ;)


PS: I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know. Yet I had to register on this forum to do so. Which is okayish, but it might keep certain people from contacting you. I had preferred to be able to e-mail you, because I just don't like having to register my data for every little thing on the internet.

Thanks for the correction.

Regarding registering --- if we don't required registering then the forum is filled with porn and spam messages, unfortunately. We do have a Facebook group and a Twitter account by which you can also contact us. We prefer the forum than direct email because a response to one user's problem will usually help other users.
