I appreciate the gesture, but I am not going to allow AI translations. There is too many issues with it of which I highlighted a few. All the translations with added parentheses are a bad idea too. There is not enough horizontal space on mobile device to accomodate for it. Furthermore it seems to 'improve' on some translations by guessing the context using the string name and then actually making it worse. |

Hi, @Pittvandewitt! Thank you for the feedback, and I completely understand your skepticism with so many automated AI contributions floating around GitHub nowadays. I want to apologize if adding parentheses made it look like I didn't care about UI/UX. This is my first time contributing localization, and in my enthusiasm to ensure technical clarity for audio terms, the horizontal screen constraints on mobile completely slipped my mind. To be fully transparent, I only used an LLM as an editor tool to assist with XML formatting and drafting the PR description (which may have given off a robotic impression), but every single translation term was manually selected, researched, and verified by me against the app. As a native Arabic speaker, audio enthusiast, and daily user who purchased the app, I put genuine care and research into reviewing these strings against the live app:
Regarding the parenthetical English terms: in Arabic-speaking regions, audio and DSP terminology (Gain, Limiter, Attenuator, Transient, Equalizer) is almost universally referenced in English by audio enthusiasts. However, your point about screen space on mobile is 100% valid, so I have pushed an update that completely removes all parentheses and keeps every line concise and clean. This contribution came purely from love for the app as a user who wants Arabic-speaking users to have a polished experience. That said, I completely understand and respect your decision either way if you still prefer not to merge these changes. Thank you again for your time and for building such a great app! |
