Greetings
I'm translating TP to my native language, mainly because the translation you guys have here is... well, bad.
I'm not familiar with TP, I've a friend that is using it and he doesn't understand english so well and your translation is not helping though.

$txt['tp-maxrating'] = 'Max rating';
What is supose to do? Max rating is what, in detail?
Edit--
Also
$txt['tp-uselangoption2'] = 'NB! The language visibility setting is turned off. Note that the language choices will not work unless its turned on.';
What is NB! ?
Thanks for any input.
Hello Costa, welcome here!
Let me get back to your question in the next reply.
For translations I have created a repository in Crowdin that you can use: https://crowdin.com/project/tinyportal
Can you let me know what language you are translating to?
I can add it there for you, and If you already have files in progress I can upload them there for you as well..
The Crowdin tool is quite useful and pretty easy to work with.
If you create an account there and let me know the name I can give you editor access to the project...
The answers...

Max rating is a setting that you can make when you allow guests to 'rate' articles: they can give a rating (number of point) depending on how 'good' they find the article: the more points the better..
The max rating sets the maximum number of points that may be assigned...

NB! stands for 'Nota Bene': a Latin phrase (or its abbreviation) used to indicate that special attention should be paid to something. synonyms:N.B., NB

I'm an old fashion guy. I translate the files directly and then upload them here and you can use them as you want. I've no desire to register in another website just to translate. Thank you, anyway.
I'm translating into portuguese_pt. The actual translation has some problems. It's quite confusing at some points. I'm translating from the scratch.
thank you for your help.
Sure, that's fine.

I am a bit surprised. The PT translation was provided less then a year ago for a pretty recent version (2.1.0).
I would expect that you can use the existing one and just adapt the strings which you feel need to be improved?
I have the same issues with the SMF translation itself some years ago. It was a headache. At first I started trying to use the existing translation, but then it became more confusing trying to figure out what it was than taking the english version and translating from there.
For me it's faster.
One of the things is to use different translations for the same word in different parts of the text.
For example, translate the word 'membergroup'. In Portuguese it is 'Grupo de Membros', and then you see'Grupo de Utilizadores' or 'Grupo de Usuários' in different parts.
I looked at the translation and it started to be confusing and I decided to do it from scratch.
Hi,
Typo in TPdlmanager.english.php
$txt['tp-dlheader2']
You can create categories here, edit each one with permissions, names and icons and upload files into them. There is also a ftp screen where you can assign pre-uploaded files to aitem or caegory. Submitted files screen can also be found here, it allow you to either approve or reject(delete) them.';
Thanks, fixed for 2.2.3

@rjen you're from Netherlands, cool. I've lived there for three years. Loved it.
Anyway, after a great internal struggle over whether to translate the word 'download', I ended up translating it. There is a portuguese translation and it is often used with the english word. Which makes the decision to translate or not a bit of a translator's choice.
The word 'shoutbox' was also not translated. Mainly because the Portuguese word size would break the layout. And 'shooutbox' or 'chat' is perfectly understandable and used afaik.
The word 'Login' has not been translated either. Essentially because it is used. In portuguese sometimes there is a literal translation that sounds really bad.
The translation is not done in a formal and colloquial way. It's a mix of formal and informal, as we did in the SMF translation.
It's in the European variant. And, barring a lapse, according to the new spelling agreement. This agreement was not ratified by Angola and has differences between European and South American Portuguese. It's an agreement that no one can agree up to. :-X
Feel free to use it however you like.
/me thinking about the word 'download'. God Dammit, what a sob word in portuguese.

uhuuuu finally I can use my avatar
I have approved them all, thanks for your time and feedback providing these.
You're welcome, and thank you.
Downloaded the files and I noticed that you did not translate the latest files, but the 2.0.0 RC1 files.
On purpose?
I have just compared your files with the latest 2.2.2 files and adjusted them. In the attcahed files there are a number of strings that are new: they are in English.
If you updated these files and translate the remaining English strings you are up to date to the latest files: v.2.2.2
Need vacation.
Attached the 2.2.2 version
Typo
$txt['tp-useattachmentdesc'] = 'This setting will make the an image of the first attachment of the forum topic be used as the icon for the post on the frontpage of your forum. This will only have an effect if you are using one of the following layouts for your frontpage: articles-icons or articles-icons2.';
I removed the attachments here. The files are now in the dwonloads:
2.2.2 Portuguese language files

Be my guest, and if something need more translation, just email me (I probably won't notice the pm)
I gave myself a 5 star rating in the downloads. How about that? That's the tiger way to do it. ROOOOOAAAARRRR.
Just one question,
Why not make an installation file for the translation instead of just making the files available?
From the user's point of view, it is much easier to do a "package info" and install the translation from the package manager.
Like what I have attached. For an administrator who does not have access to the server, it would be much simpler.
Yeah, that is possible... guess we are just too lazy...
