Might be too long. Would need to be checked in the compiled version.

I don't know Japanese, but from what Google shows, maybe 组 might work, and be shorter?

I've just looked, and this text is only used in "Normal" mixer style. There is room for the original suggested translation and optional group number.

Only the "Normal" style appears to have translations for Grp, Mute and Solo. The "Fancy" style lacks similar translations for GRP, MUTE and SOLO. The "Compact" style only uses initials G, M and S, but they are available for translation if desired.

I can reveal that I have a degree in Japanese language :-) I'm pretty sure グループ would almost certainly be the preferred rendering in this context.

Maybe those also have a short version in ja_JP? (Same for MUTE, GRP etc.)

Possibly パン but not much shorter, and is may not be the convention in audio apps (not sure).

Maybe worth rephrasing in English... @gilgongo
Maybe use something like: The CPU of the client or server is overloaded

Yes (unless the code only indicates 100% and not, say, 99%? Or is it about load average, I get confused on that).

BTW (and not for this PR of course) the English phrasing of a lot the help text in the app is fairly inconsistent and could do with being in what's sometimes called "note form" for brevity. For example here it would be better as simply "Client or server CPU overloaded" or even "Client/server CPU overload".

We should really be consistent with macOS instead of MacOS throughout the code...

But that's not your problem ;-)

I don't know Japanese, but I have built and run this code, and verified that there are no accelerator key conflicts in client or server, that I could see in Japanese mode.

This PR should also include an addition to util.cpp around line 560 to credit the translator for Japanese.

Added tsukurun as the Japanese (ja_JP) translator in the credits section of util.cpp.

@softins Thanks for the suggestion! I've added the Japanese translator credit to util.cpp.

Looks good to me

Would コード貢献 be clearer? I know the English doesn't use "code contributions" but 貢献 might be a bit unclear?

インディケーター is probably better.

…utions" Changed "貢献" to "コード貢献" for clearer context as suggested by gilgongo. - "貢献の詳細" → "コード貢献の詳細" - "Github 貢献者リスト" → "Github コード貢献者リスト" - "貢献者" → "コード貢献者"

tsukurun · 2025-12-10T03:07:11Z

@gilgongo Thanks for the feedback! I've updated "貢献" to "コード貢献" for clarity. The "インジケーター" spelling was already consistent throughout.

Thank you all for reviewing and merging this PR! 🎉

Special thanks to @softins, @ignotus666, @gilgongo, and @ann0see for your helpful feedback and guidance throughout the review process.

I'm excited to see Japanese translation included in Jamulus 3.12.0!
