Itโs just a placeholder text until I pick up work on the prototypes again.
I have a suggestion for some of the strings related to the auto-evo exploring tool: replace every instance of โbiodiversity increasing speciesโ to โbiodiversity-increasing speciesโ. That would make it clearer I think.
So no? Have I misunderstood what those string meant, so that this suggestion doesnโt make sense?
It probably makes sense but Iโm doing the bare minimum regarding the English text as I donโt get any help, so Iโll only react if someone makes suggestions on weblate.
And you also probably saw this yourself here as no one replied to your idea.
Is there no one willing to help? I could.
You could make the suggestions on weblate. Itโs really a struggle for me to find other team members who want to improve the English text in the game.
Can I be a team member?
The current string sounds like both โbiodiversity which increases speciesโ and โspecies which increase biodiversityโ.

What team would you be in? So far I donโt think we have had any dedicated translators accepted on the team. If we were to have an English text proofreader and improver, I really think we should pick someone who is a native speaker. Basically the same logic as to who qualifies in my opinion as the verifier of translations of other languages.
Iโm a graphic designer so I should be able to tackle what that role entails, especially UIs and vector graphics. I would be curious to join the sound team, too. Until now Iโve been hesitant on applying because I was worried I wasnโt qualified enough, but maybe I can start small and see where that takes me, what do you say? Then I would still be active on Weblate, making suggestions.
If you have something to show off your skills with, you can send an application to join the team.
What is โspecies capโ???
And what are โGLES2โ and โGLES3โ???
Species cap = maximum number of species
I donโt recommend translating the GLES abbreviations as anything other than GLES.

I donโt know.
One thing I noticed though is that there are multiple dictionary entries for many words in Romanian.
(and also Finnish)
It seems that when a term that should not be translated is added to the English dictionary it gets also placed in the other language dictionaries.
I think the duplicate one with no explanation can be deleted as unnecessary.
Also one problem I noticed a term that should not be translated is translated for Romanian: Thrive/Thrive โ Romanian @ Thrive - Weblate
Edit: I did some maintenance and setup the untranslated terms properly for the English dictionary.

Is the pr (Pirate) code on the Godot list for a normal language or actual English pirate speak?
Maybe itโs the Minecraft Pirate Speak?
Pirate speech very likely.
Also Iโm in the process of overhauling the entire English dictionary, as there are a ton of duplicate and incorrect entries. Once Iโm done Iโll post a Weblate announcement about that.
What the hell is pirate speech?
