Translation mistake in the Romanian version of the app

Firstly it used to not be like this. About a month ago I changed to English and then back and it appeared.

The problem is at the bottom where it says the amount of cards studied and the time, it says: “.i tani 203 carduri ca lo mentu be li 35,5 ca lo cabdei to karda snidu li 10,82”. “carduri” is in Romanian but the rest is complete gibberish. What each number signifies is clear from their size but I’d really appreciate if you could fit it. Thank you.

When you say it’s gibberish – is it at least Romanian? It should say something like – Studied X cards in Y minutes today (Zs/card). Is it even close to that?

That string is composed of a few different strings, so I need to dig a little to make sure I find the right ones.

But it’s fine to report it here instead – if you don’t want to join the project as an ongoing contributor.

Honestly, nobody over there is really working on this. I don’t usually include a Romanian translation in my own add-on either; so, if things aren’t displaying correctly for them, there should at least be some sort of checkbox in the app where they can opt in to AI-powered translation.

These strings with number-variables can be tricky to get right. And we haven’t had anyone contributing to Romanian for a few years.

I might need your help correcting this, but if going through this bit-by-bit is more than you want to do, at least tell me which ones are completely wrong, and I can delete them so they revert to English.


This is the main string – Pontoon .

Studied { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-____ } today 
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

There are 6 alternate versions, depending on the period of time, but the translated part is the same for all. From your example, this provides –
.i tani [or .i tadni?]
ca lo cabdei to karda snidu li
toi

There are some things about it that don’t even match the original text – like a . at the beginning for some reason.


This is X card/s for the 1st blank – Pontoon.
203 carduri


Then one of these in Y seconds/minutes/hours/days/months for the 2nd blank – Pontoon .

For Minutes, Hours, and Days, it’s the same, regardless of number –
Minutes: ca lo mentu be li
Hours: ca lo cacra be li
Days: ca lo djedi be li

For Seconds, Months, and Years, there are 3 variations, depending on the number –

That’s highly unlikely to happen – and this thread wouldn’t be the right place to propose it anyway.

The AI ​​did a pretty good job translating:

seconds
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-seconds } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

minutes
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-minutes } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

hours
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-hours } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

days
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-days } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

months
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-months } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

years
Studiate { statistics-cards }
{ statistics-in-time-span-years } astăzi
({ $secs-per-card }s/card)

That was just an outdated machine translation.
Also, the author is unlikely to reply anytime soon—it’s 2 a.m. both here and over there in Romania :slight_smile:

carduri is the plural of card. ca is also a Romanian word but I assume it is there by a mistake. The rest are not close to be words. Since carduri(and potentially ca) still there, I assume something made the letters switch places randomly.

You are right, I also had quite a busy saturday so I couldn’t reply sooner. The AI is only translating the word for ‘today’ and ‘studied’. Still that’s better than what I see on my screen.

Yes oh my god that’s exactly what I see.None of these are Romanian words(first picture).
the bottom three pictures(month, year) are correct.
