Native review wanted: machine-translated recording bar tooltips (14 locales) #913

Description

@EtienneLescot

The recording bar (HUD) tooltips were rewritten in #912. The English is the source of truth. The 14 other locales were machine-translated by an AI agent and reviewed by a second one; they have not been read by a native speaker. Native reviewers are welcome.

How to help

  1. Open src/i18n/locales/<locale>/launch.json and read the strings changed by feat(hud): rewrite the recording bar tooltips #912 (git diff of that PR shows them, or look at the tooltips, cursor, recording and deviceSettings entries).
  2. Fix anything unnatural, wrong, or inconsistent with the rest of that locale. The rules are in technical-documentation/engineering/tooltips.md: keep {{placeholders}} as they are, keep each string short (it has to fit a tooltip about 260 px wide), and reuse the terms the locale already uses.
  3. Run npm run i18n:check, then open a PR.

Locales (tick when a native speaker has reviewed it)

  • ar
  • cs
  • de
  • es
  • fr
  • it
  • ja-JP
  • ko-KR
  • pt-BR
  • ru
  • tr
  • vi
  • zh-CN
  • zh-TW

Strings the reviewer was least sure about

  • ar: hideHUDTip (the words for "system tray" are a literal rendering), camera (the verb is a best guess).
  • fr: camera ("calque" is Photoshop vocabulary).
  • ko: restartRecording, cancelRecording, openStudio are in noun style.
  • ja: cursor.systemTip is a little redundant.
  • ru: the HUD says "автозум" while editor.json says "Автомасштабирование".
  • vi: "bản ghi hình" here, "bản ghi" elsewhere in the locale.
  • tr: editor.json mixes "editör" and "düzenleyici"; the majority was followed.

More tooltips will follow in later PRs (editor toolbar, top bar, inspector, Record mode); this issue can track them too.
