Translation of constellation maps labels to French

[edit]

If you've translated something, please change the

style="color: red"

to

style="color: green"

in the <td> element.

There are some three-letter abbreviations. If you think it's appropriate, please translate them, too, but keep their shortness. Keep the LaTeX commands. These are all the strange things (mostly word beginning with backslashs, and different braces) around the actual labels.

About the copyright question (because perpetually it seems to be a problem): The English constellation maps have my (Torsten Bronger) copyright which means that I am the original author. But they are published under the terms of the GFDL nevertheless, and that is all that counts. Thus they can be used freely according to this licence.

The French maps – if they come – will have no copyright or the copyright of the uploader (who I won't be due to lack of time). I will deliver a only zip file with the bitmaps. -- Torsten Bronger 11:28, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Discussion

[edit]

Should it be "LMC" or "GNM"? I've found only quite a few pages with GNM, but anyway. – Torsten Bronger 07:33, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)


If there is not much space, I have to abbreviate the constellation name with three letters. But how should we abbreviate e.g. "Libra"–"Balance"? With "Lib" oe with "Bal"? – Torsten Bronger 07:11, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I don't know, even if french is more or less my native language, there is a lot of thing that I know much better in english than in french, like the constellation names or the usage of "GNM" ... I will look for this information. At first sight, it seems that the latin abbreviations are used. -- Looxix

Another thing is the upper/lowercase question. "Petit chien" or "Petit Chien" or "petit chien"? – Torsten Bronger 09:02, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Mmmm, very good and difficult question. I must check. -- Looxix



You can download provisional versions at [[1]]. The integration of remaining problems (stylistic and typographic) can be done within minutes. – Torsten Bronger 13:27, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks a lots Torsten I will quickly install them on the wiki (alas, a lot of constellation article are still no done on fr:). -- Looxix 22:14, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Style discussion

[edit]

Should the maps on fr: have a different visual appearance? -- Torsten Bronger 11:28, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

personnaly, I prefer the default dark blue background. -- Looxix

What about having fewer stars? The English maps sometimes look very dotty, and the constellation labels often collides with such very faint stars. Orion is a counter-example. – Torsten Bronger 10:43, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Yes, I think this is a good idea. -- Looxix
