/!\ Project on hold until Axe Parser will be in it's final version, or when the updates will be much more sparse, so I won't have to redo the translation every week or so.



I'm translating Axe Parser's documentation to french. I'm currently working on the command list.

J'ai commencé à traduire la documentation de Axe Parser en français. Pour l'instant, je travaille sur la liste de commandes.

Progress:
Based on/basé sur: Axe Parser v0.4.3

I don't natively speak French, but with the five years of French I've taken in school, I can look through this and check for errors or possibly suggest other translations.

Suggestions so far:

• Fonctions → Sous-routines
• l'indicateur d'exécution → l'indicateur de calculs en cours (This is what TI translated it as in their French TI-83 Plus guidebook, although their uses of it were references to actual mathematical calculations being performed, whereas uses of it in Axe may signify things like displaying sprites or waiting for key input)
• Le « Full Speed Mode » → Le mode de pleine vitesse
• SIGNAL → ONDE (Seeing as the original, "WAVE," was described as being "inversely proportional to frequency," it's probably most related to "wave" as in "wavelength," or "onde" as in "longueur d'onde")
• port de connexion → port de liaison (TI's translation)

EDIT: Whoops, "l'indicateur de calculs en course" was just a typo.

I would keep the word functions, because Axe supports no sub program (yet). Otherwise, "Sous-routines" sounds good. To be Sub-programs, they would have to be external PRGM files.

Wikipedia's example seems to suggest otherwise: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-programme

Also, "sous-programme" is more prevalent than "sous-routine" in French. (According to the fact that it returns at least 5 times as many Google search results and that Wikipedia doesn't have an article, or even a redirect to "sous-programme," for "sous-routine")

well IMHO I still feel it may confuse people, and I speak french as native language, unlike you and Silver Shadow. To me, a "Sous-programme" is external to the main program, like you got in TI-BASIC. If we say Sous Programme, newbies will come to ask why is there any reference to sub-programs in the doc when with Axe, it's impossible to compile your game into multiple files?

If you absolutely want to keep the name "sous-programme", you should at least say "sous programmes interne.". We have to remember Axe audience is mostly former TI-BASIC programmers, who got used to anything "sub-program" related being external/separate code files.

hm ... subroutines are similar to label
So why not put "sous routine", and after putting a description to clarify things (It's quite hard to understand what it means at once )

Très bonne traduction, si ce n'est que je remplacerait bien le mot "tampon" par le mot original buffer, et rajouter éventuellement une définition de buffer quelque part, car c'est comme même très compliqué à comprendre rien qu'en lisant le mot tampon.

PS : J'écris en français par flemme d'utiliser google translate, et comme je pense qu'il y a beaucoup (que?) des francophones qui fréquentes ce sujet, cela ne posera pas de problème (et vous me comprendrez mieux)

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to make sure you noticed the update: v0.03 is now available!

(off-topic: au fait c'est quoi la traduction de "flemme" en Québécois? )

But glad to see progress on this. I guess "tampon" could work for buffer. Would pointers become "pointeurs"? What about Safe RAM?
