Hello,

 

Using the VIGI mobile app for Android and VIGI Security Manager for Windows here. I noticed the problem in both interfaces. My interfaces are set to French, and a number of text items are poorly translated... Here and there, I need to mentally translate text items into English to understand what was meant. A number of text items went through a litteral translation, regardless of the context... Just an example: A button that reads "Got it!" in English means "Understood!". The French translation, was done litterally, and reads "Je l'ai" ("I have it", e.g. when talking about an object). When you read it, it makes absolutely no sense (unless you translate it back into English). A significant amount of the interfaces are poorly translated that way.

 

I was wondering whether the development teams could either proof-read the language files, or possibly share language files with foreign users like us, so we can proof-read and correct them, for future mobile app and Windows application updates.


Could you submit question or suggestion to the Android and Windows development teams, please?


Thank you! 🙏

VSM will be discontinued. Recommend you use VIGI PC Client instead. This will replace the VSM.

 

About the translation, the related team will look into that.
