Hi,
while updating the German translation, I came across the following
unclear (to me) items:
- actually, a typo in the English original: "Save return value
(optional, clear box for no assigment):" (missing n)
- "Byval" - what's the context, what does it mean? I checked the source
in lib/src/describe.d and I suspect it's about factorized descriptive
statistics, but I cannot replicate it in gretl's summary statistics.
- "factorized" - in gui/gretl.c in line 1914 it's the only string in
that area not capitalized, maybe it should be?
BTW, a note to fellow translators, maybe it's not clear to everybody
that now some strings are associated with the addons instead of core
gretl. I believe this is a new thing with this release. (Or maybe
already the one before?)
thanks

Oops. But if we correct the English now then any current translations
will no longer be found. Wait until after release?

"Byval" means the particular value of the "factorizing" or
"by"
variable when producing factorized statistics.

only string in

The context is a branching under the "/View/Summary statistics" menu
item: "plain" versus "factorized". I think it's OK as is.

Sure (ticket on its way)

"by"
variable when producing factorized statistics.
Yes, but I couldn't see the
string anywhere while trying to get at it.
Also, "byval" is not an actual English word, is it? Sounds more like a
programming identifier.

Right, I guess maybe I should adjust the German spelling as well.

Allin again:
"Byval" appears as the first column heading when you save the
$result matrix following "summary <list> --by=<series>". No,
it's
not an English word but I think its meaning should be clear in
context.

OK, thanks. Here's an example with the cps92.gdt dataset:
? summary husearns --by=husunion
? =$result
Byval Arith. Mitte Median Minimum Maximum Std.

(Need to view this with a monospace font.)
In the meantime I've changed some of the German strings given that
truncation happens at 12 characters or so. But notice the wrong
alignment with the column header "Überwölbun". Actually, the full string
is "Überwölbung" (excess kurtosis), which has 11 chars, two of them are
German Umlaute. And the alignment to the right is off by two - could
there be a connection, i.e. is there perhaps some string length
calculation which is not non-ASCII-proof?
thanks
