    It roughly translates as starting number though. At least that's the case in Dutch and German, although not in French.

    I attempted to translate as "randomizer" in portuguese, but the tool complained about the size of the text :( :( :(

    Yeah... Sometimes there is no way around it, I guess. You can see what it looks like by downloading the zip Garat posted earlier in this thread or change it in "<PA Install Dir>media/ui/main/_i18n/locales/dev/system_editor.json".

    Yeah some of it is quite... Hollandish (?) I'm from Flanders which means that some of the Dutch is different (vocabulary) , though we mostly understand it. Reversed though (From Holland to Flemish) is more difficult. There were a few times when I was like 'what the hell?' when I saw some of the translations. But I guess all of it is good.

    Besides,

    I studied 'm still studying Latin, so I could definitely help with translations for that.

    Ah, gotcha. You probably noticed the Dutch (Belgium) language set by now then, eh? b4ttleduck seems to have made some progress there, but is not quite done yet.

    Regarding Dutch:

    Anything with system could be translated as 'stelsel' instead of 'systeem'. Since we're talking about solar systems right? In Dutch that's translated as 'zonnestelsel' and not 'zonnesyteem'. So.. it should be 'stelsel' when you're talking about solar systems.

    systeem is more for mechanical stuff. (thus: system sounds remains systeemgeluiden)

    Ah, It's not really a problem. It could be way worse.

    There are many disabled strings that can no longer be found in game, and we have no idea how to context them

    So, Italian is almost done. Apparently we are in three working on it, which helps a lot.

    There are few sentences and terms that require a bit of a context in order to understand how to translate at best.

    I presume it may be a common obstacle in other languages as well.

    Oh that was you? Very well done, thanks!
    I had a pass over it, it just had some minor things like typos etc. for the most part.

    If a French guy doesn't translate a word in French, it means that he really, really has to :D

    I followed your suggestion, and kept seed in Italian as well.

    I didn't read the whole 5 pages of the thread, but I'd like to know, is there a way to "test" out the translations by patching manually the game? Some translations needs definitively context and we also need a way to check if strings will fit inside the game.

    read the first 3 pages and you'll find what you're asking for. Be patient.

    I'm receiving commentaries from all languages into the email. Someone knows how to set up this to just a single language?
