⟨egg⟩ @Al2Me6 please scan through the Chinese in the cfgs in the diff of that pull request for obvious typos, given that can’t actually read what I am writing I sometime make stupid typos

⟨egg⟩ (I had set one of the apoapsis strings to 拱点高 at one point >_>)

⟨egg⟩ (I had set one of the « apoapsis » strings to 拱点高 at one point >_>) (edited)

⟨egg⟩ (which almost makes sense in a weird way, but was just copy-pasted incorrectly from inside « apoapsis altitude »)
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ @egg Would you like a PR containing zh-cn translations for the descriptions? And also general touch-ups.
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ (First thing I notice is that the sunflare toggle is translated as a literal solar flare (as in the astronomical event) rather than 'lens flare'.)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ That would be very nice, yes!
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Does the sunflare toggle even work anymore?
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ At least not with Scatterer installed
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ I think it might have broken down, if it does nothing perhaps I should just kill it :-p
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Sure, that's fine by me since it doesn't work for me anyway 😆
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ @Paculino, you don't use Scatterer, does it do anything for you?

⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ I installed Scatterer when I noticed that 1.10 was so much faster

⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ I installed Scatterer when I noticed that 1.10 was so much faster, so I don't know/remember how to answer that (edited)

⟨Al2Me6⟩ ....mechjeb variously translates "periapsis" as "近点“ and ”近供点“ 🤦♂️
egg|anbo|egg has joined #principia
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Oh yeah there even is an open issue about that
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ re. MJ, I guess send PRs to @sarbian @XKdiverque (but beware getting into rabbit holes of nested tangents :-p)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (近供点 seems like the more proper term if talking about actual apsides? from a very cursory search and google-translating my way through the result, 近点 appears to be used mostly when qualifying things, e.g. 近点年 for the anomalistic year)
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Note the typo (供/拱）
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (may I add, also, that 近点年 is a much nicer term than anomalistic year, and that it took me far too many seconds to recall what the term for perihelion-to-perihelion year is)
Rokker has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
<raptop>
Anomalistic year sounds like the sort of weirdly short/long year you get when updating calendar systems
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (then again it’s not really perihelion-to-perihelion except in an average sense, and its actual estimation is likely to involve something like mean motion that has to do with sufficiently-mean mean anomaly, so perhaps the Indo-European term is more accurate if you get into those weeds…)
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I am currently attempting to find out what the proper term for "lunation number" is in Chinese... the current upgrade message doesn't mention it at all
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I am currently attempting to find out what the proper term for "lunation number" is in Chinese... the current upgrade message doesn't mention it (or new moons) at all (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ to be honest the lunation number is a strange concept, I am not sure whose convention we are using here but there are many…
