German translation (Du / Sie)

    Is this the right place to discuss translations?

    The German translation is a little bit inconsistent, it switches between the informal 'Du' and the formal 'Sie'. I would like to change everything to informal language. Any objections?

    Many forum/blog software comes with two German language versions, formal and informal. As German is already quite well translated, maybe it's an idea to create a branch of the current one, and call it "German Informal". (or German Formal, depends on what's better)

    It could be possible to add a de-x-informal language code for this if you wish. Open an issue at our Github repository and we can track and discuss it there.

    It looks to me like the German translation was intented to be informal. That is what most communities would use anyway and what should be the default. So I would consider the formal language in the recent translation a bug.

    I also think the translation could be improved. Most parts are very well translated other parts are not so perfect and a few are just wrong.

    I'm also not sure, if there is really a need for a formal German translation. It's just a UI. We wouldn't talk to Siri, Google or Alexa in a formal way.

    Of course there is nothing wrong to have a formal translation as an option, but would there be a maintainer? Who wants to do the extra work and keep the two translations in sync.

    I opened an issue: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5619

    I fixed it this way 😉

    exports.filterComposerFormatting = async (data) => { data.options.push({ className: 'add-movie-source fa fa-video-camera', name: 'add_movie_source', title: 'Add movie source' }, { className: 'add-movie-review fa fa-video-camera', name: 'add_movie_review', title: 'Add movie review' }, { className: 'add-game-source fa fa-gamepad', name: 'add_game_source', title: 'Add game source' }, { className: 'add-game-review fa fa-gamepad', name: 'add_game_review', title: 'Add game review' }); return data; };

    @baris any example for a noob like me? I just want to load client.js when composer is active due to that it only is needed when working it the composer 🙂

    DO MGBKD

    Hi,
    I am new to NodeBB. I want to use NodeBB for the school, every class will have its own discussion boards, the discussion board can only be accessed by the students in the class and moderated by the classroom teachers. How do I create the board dynamically and restrict access for a certain group of people? I don't need NodeBB's user management system as our application has already authenticated users, so this is assuming students and teachers are already logged in with JWT token stored in the cookie.

    Your help is appreciated!

    @Casey-Chen-Lai You'll want to translate to zh-TW, which is our traditional chinese variant.

    Don't ask me why it's TW and not HK.

    zh-TW is available for translation in Transifex, let me know if you run into additional issues 🙂

    @julian said in Drop Redis/Improve MongoDB/Support SQL?:

    Yes, let it be known that if we do decide to drop support, the Redis to Mongo migration script will be immediately published 😄

    I figured as much, you guys are too cool to be jerks 😄
