Bug: Small inaccuracies with German translation

[44-george]

Hi,

I noticed a small error with the German translation of catalogues.
Some catalogues use "Weil Sie..." and others "Weil du...". Both are variants of "Because you...", but one is formal and the other informal. Either one is fine, but mixing them together looks weird. Only one of the two forms should be used.

Thank you.

Since I use google-translate for translation I don't have much customizations, but still I will check if I can do anything!

Yeah seems the google translate produces some weird titles. I've come across other issues with it since. Could this not be hardcoded for the most popular languages? I'm sure people would be willing to contribute translations for their languages.

We can hardcode for the default name but if they change name in catalog config then we cannot really do anything about that.

Also as you know, might not be always valid for all languages.

Yes, user-defined catalogue names should take precedence of course.
I think the logic should look like this:
Start with default English names -> Translation service checks -> If user language is German then skip (referring to hardcoded translations) for non-Genre catalogues -> If user changed catalogue name then skip (for non-Genre catalogues) -> Otherwise send to translation service.

For German the translations should look like:

"Top Picks for You" -> "Für dich empfohlen"
"More Like [Title]" -> "Ähnlich wie [Title]"
"Because You Watched [Title]" -> "Weil du [Title] gesehen hast"

Just one last question;

I think it's obvious but still, Do you prefer German Movie names or English there?

I think I can work on this. Let me plan something and I will ask for contributors.

German titles for sure. Thanks for looking into this
