Start11 Localization Bug

from Stardock Forums

Start11 2.07

There seems to be a bug in the Start11 localization.
I don't think it's simply a problem with the translation of the LNG file.

In Korean, it's natural to reverse the word order of verb and object from English.
So I changed "Configure Start11"="Start11 설정",
but "Configure Start11" is translated as "설정 Start11".

Perhaps the words "Configure" and "Start11" are being translated separately,
and we need to make them translatable as a single sentence instead of word-for-word.

In the ko.lng file, all '구성'(korean) corresponding to 'config'(english) was replaced with '설정'(korean),
but 'configure start11...' remained as '구성 start11...' not '설정 start11...'.
'configure start11...' seems to apply different rules rather than the settings in the ko.lng file.

The problem is not caused by a bad translation from english to korean.
It's a structural issue with the way Start11 translates.
It's a problem that can be solved by translating sentence by sentence, not word by word.

Yes, I understand that. That is why it is best for someone that really using the language to contribute in correcting those issues.

In the github repository you mentioned, I can only modify or add the translation of the lng file.

In order to solve these structural problems, I need to review and modify Start11's source code myself,
but I do not have the authority or ability to do so, and Start11 is not an open source program, so I can't do that.

That's why I wrote this request.
