Is this translation good?

[Ran Cohen]

I requested a company to translate the text in my mobile application to Simplified and Traditional Chinese. It translated it, and now I added it to my mobile application. I just want to be sure all is good and fits (maybe some of text was cut because of its size).

This is my screenshots in English: share.pho.to/7InC3

I have only read the traditional version. My observations -

1. The Chinese for "OK" in the 1st and 4th pics is "替換". I suggest it be changed to "確認". It is simplier, and can be used consistantly.

2. The url in the 2nd pic is not the same as in the English version (.co vs .com).

3. The symbols unacceptable in file names in the Chinese version are different from those in the Englishversion (。 and : ).

I don't know what "hill it" means so am not sure if the translation for it is right.

When the sand falls, it falls in a hill, meaning it can move right or left. When you don't hill it, it just falls straight down, not moving left or right.

And thank you for your thoughts!

Yeah the simplified version says 更换 in the 1st and 4th pics and I think that's not a very good translation. They should use 确认. Also I think there was an instance of 确定 somewhere, they should all just be 确认 or all just be 确定...

 

The translation for the hill part says "don't let the sand fall on a mountain" for "don't hill it" and "let the sand fall on a mountain" for "hill it" so I dunno what that would look like. It sounds different from your description though.

[Ran Cohen]

The meaning is not *on* a mountain, but *as* a mountain.
And just to be clear - you suggest replacing 更换 with 确认, and make all 确认 be 确定?

[陳德聰]

No I think all of them should just be 确认 or 确定, though I prefer 确认.

 

If that is the meaning you are looking for from the translation, the simplified one is not accurate. I can't even really imagine what it would look like though.
