I wonder whether this sheds some light on the Monster-Shop: Auf der rechten Seite befinden sich Loren, mit denen Sie zum Amt fahren können, um konfiszierte Filme zurückzuholen.

Cerberus

No idea...

In Dutch, a monster is also a sample of something.

And monsteren is like monitoring, watching.

Jez

nah i'm checking it out in the game

it's a monster shop alright

where you buy monsters

There, I've translated a couple, but now I need a break.

I think I ended up prefixing everything with TODO, because it can use some polish.

Oh, and I've fixed the German on one occasion, too. :P

No spaces before question marks. Just like in English.

you put Morgen as tomorrow not morning?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Well it's immediately followed by Heute/Today.

Jez

curious, there's spaces before question marks all over the place in this game

Well perhaps it was programmed by an Indian.

An Indian that knows German?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Well, or a French.

Cerberus

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Some Germans actually do have problems with whitespaces before punctuation marks, but it's not anywhere as rampant as in English.

What is more rampant in German is using quotes for emphasis.

Unsere Produkte sind "gut"!

Cerberus

Eww. Happens in Dutch too.

Oh, like that.

No.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

5:12 PM

It's like an unintended wink. Always hilarious.

Cerberus

What's also rampant here is people who find it necessary to do "quotation marks" in the air with two fingers.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

That's just a custom.

Its time will pass.

A: What is the difference between ‘Hot Corned Beef’ and ‘"Hot" Corned Beef’?

Don't rely on signs you see in windows as a usage guide. In standard English, quotes around a word are usually used to distance the writer from its use in some way, normally to cite their usage by someone else or to express doubt about their veracity. For example, I might write: "Fred calle...

Q: Best way to breathe for long-distance running

What is the best way to breathe while running long-distance? One can breathe in through the nose only, the mouth only, or both nose and mouth. The same applies to breathing out. Are there studies comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods?

KitFox

I just had a nice lunch with my husband.

I haven't noticed whitespaes before punctuation to be a problem in English - have you ?

@RegDwightѬſ道 Up of course.

Mahnax

@KitFox In HTML/CSS?

Jez

@Cerberus If you're keeping up, here's the latest translation file: pastebin.com/YmM4jS4b

KitFox

@Mahnax Yes. CSS.

Jez

@RegDwight I edited a few of your strings to add newlines. I'm making sure the translated strings have the same number of newlines as the originals and trying to keep each line of text roughly the same length.

Mahnax

5:23 PM

@KitFox Ah, so you want the table to always be at least x pixels high?

KitFox

@Mahnax Yes. 420px.

Mahnax

@KitFox Okay, let me try it out.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Mahnax

@KitFox Sure, what is it you are trying to achieve, exactly?

A table that is always at least 420 px high, no matter how many cells are present?

Robusto

In the context of movies, wouldn't weiblich = "chick flick"?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Supposedly so.

But nobody ever says that.

Cerberus

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Weiblich refers to the gender of the thing in question.

KitFox

@Mahnax I have a master page, and in the main content area, I want to put a sidebar for the navigation tree. I had built a two column table, where the first column spans the two rows. I'd like the side bar to always be at least 420px.

Cerberus

Weiberfilm?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@Cerberus Weiberfilm.

Jinx.

KitFox

But maybe I should design the layout differently.

Cerberus

5:34 PM

@Robusto If you're referring to the translation, I think this is probably in the context of actors/actresses... but I'll need to see it ingame to be sure

A: What's the difference between "adviser" and "advisor" -- are both interchangeable?

commented: Related post on the Separated by a common language blog: "[T]he -or form is stronger in the US than the UK, though there's considerable variation within each country." And: "[I]n my job, I advise students and convene courses, and when I spell out those roles, I'm an advisor and a convenor, but when my UK university spells them, I'm often an adviser (which just looks wrong to me) and a convener. (Incidentally, Blogger's allegedly AmE spellchecker likes the -er forms.)"

Jez

@RegDwight nice, thanks

advisor it is

KitFox

@Jez I spell it "advisor."

Mahnax

@KitFox Okay, so that will always be 420 px high or more. Would you like the code?

KitFox

@Mahnax Sure.

Mahnax

5:47 PM

@KitFox Okay.

user19161

@Jez I would look it up first.

Jez

both are legit. spellings

user19161

Then I would choose the first listed one in such cases.

<td>Box 2</td>

@Mahnax I've sort of done it with three divs and floats, but I seem to remember float as something I shouldn't use.

width:90px;
text-align:center;

Jez

@KitFox I don't use floats unless I'm laying everything out with floats, and then I use them all over the place

Mahnax

@Jez Same here, actually.

Jez

but usually laying out with CSS takes 5 times longer

if you're lucky

And by "can," I mean willing as well as able.

I am willing to look at it. If my eyes glaze over I might have to stop looking at it. :-)

KitFox

7:05 PM

I just want a stupid lefthand sidebar, then a content area, and a narrow button area on the right, but the sidebar to have a min-height of 420px.

I had it as a table, but thought divs would be better.

maybe that was a mistake.

MetaEd

You are doing it with floats?

KitFox

I've done the sidebar as a left float, and the other two as right floats, but I can't figure out how to adjust the heights of the right divs.

@MetaEd I don't have to be doing it that way.

I thought divs were recommended over tables.

And it looks better with my styles.

But it isn't a requirement, especially if it is the wrong way to do it.

MetaEd

I use divs for layout. I am a masochist that way.

KitFox

I don't much do this stuff, so I haven't much of an idea of what's proper.

Seems like it ought to be something simple, so I figure I must be doing it wrong.

MetaEd

Ok so the picture is the layout you are aiming for?

Are these liquid verticals? Meaning box 2 and box 3 height are constrained to 1/2 box 1 height no matter what box 1 height is? Or are you fixing the heights?

KitFox

.sidebar
{
    float:left;
    background-color:#B6B7BC;
    border-right: 1px solid #496077;
    width:20%;
    min-height: 420px;
}

.rightcolumn
{
    float:right;
}

.bottombar
{
    clear: right;
    float: right;
    border-top: 1px solid #496077;
    width:80%;
}

This is close, but the sidebar stops at the top of the bottom bar.

The "rightcolumn" is the part that will shrink or expand.

Jez

Pizza Hut are now doing a "hot dog stuffed crust"

Jez

@KitFox you're looking for a tabular layout?

KitFox

Yes-ish.

Basically.

Jez

use a table.

ignore morons who tell you not to. it's 100 times easier and tables are designed for tabular layout.

MetaEd

You don't care what happens below 420px?

Jez

what do you mean?

MetaEd

7:24 PM

Ok that layout works for me, or doesn't work for me, depending on the dimensions of my window. And the reason is that 80% + 20% is 100%.

But your sidebar width is 20% plus 1px and your bottom bar width is 80% which is a total of 100% + 1px.

And that doesn't always fit.

Jez

why do you care about windows below 420px?

KitFox

@MetaEd Oh, is that what's happening?

So should I fix the width of the columns, or one of the columns?

MetaEd

You could eliminate the border on your layout div and do it in an inner div.

That way you would be back to 80% + 20% = 100%.

Or as you say, you could fix the width of your sidebar, or you could fudge your percentages a little. Sidebar of 19% might work fine for all devices that actually exist.

KitFox

throws it all out of the window

MetaEd

Hmm, maybe you could put a left margin of -1px on your content? That's not something I've tried.

KitFox

7:34 PM

Frigga, I hate this part of my job.

MetaEd

I find I often try to make one div do too much work. Your three divs can set up your framework / scaffolding, then within the sidebar put a "pretty" div that contains your border and content.

so that's your paint div.

Frigga indeed. Happy Friday!

I hear it's an especially good day today, incidentally. Apparently God is so loving that he killed his son on this date in A.D. 33.

But they're not text, they're divs.

KitFox

Robusto

Actually, I could expand that statement to say "IE doesn't work and play well with noun."

Although actually that site seems to work fine in IE with the inline-blocks.

KitFox
