Henrik Ekman who provided us with valuable feedback on the Finnish translation has a few more comments. Please discuss with translators during the next pass. Thanks! --------------- Dear Sirs, Thank you very much fixing the translation error that was the original reason for sending this e-mail to you. You have fixed like I proposed ;-) in SW 125 for Squeezebox Classic. Great! I upgraded the SW and it works fine now. SOME FINETUNING STILL REQUIRED IN THE FINNISH TEXTS However, in case you would like to get more comments, there is one or two translations that I would recommend to change. By pressing the “SLEEP” button on the remote controller the unit display shows: Eng: “Sleeping in 15 minutes” Fin: “Nukun myöhään 15 minuuttia” “Nukun myöhään 15 minuuttia” actually in Finnish means like ”I will sleep late of 15 minutes” giving an impression that someone will sleep too/quite late e.g. 15 minutes. It does not actually give the impression of the listener being awake and sleep timer shuts off the unit after 15 minutes. The exact translation would be: Fin: “Nukahdan 15 minuutin kuluttua” Eng: “Going to sleep / power off in 15 minutes” But the sentence above is slightly confusing as well, who is going to sleep – the listener or the device, so I would recommend to talk about sleep timer setting value. MY RECOMMENDATION IS: Because the meaning is the delayed power off of the unit like a sleep timer setting value, I would recommend a sentence below: Fin: “Uniajastin 15 minuuttia” that means exactly that the sleep timer setting is 15 minutes. Eng: “Sleep timer 15 minutes” MY OTHER RECOMMENDATION: When pressing the “SLEEP” button several times, the unit gives a text Fin: “Lepotila peruutettiin” (that means like ”stand by mode is cancelled”) Eng: “Sleep cancelled” I would recommend to change it as below Fin: “Uniajastin peruutettiin” Eng: “Sleep timer cancelled” So we would all the time talk about “sleep timer”, “sleep timer value” and “sleep timer cancelled” in Finnish.
