⟨egg⟩ @Farrier I just came across <https://dtf.ru/games/700083-luchshiy-kosmicheskiy-simulyator-pro-kotoryy-pochti-nikto-ne-znaet>, is that by you? If so, I’d be interested in knowing whether you know whether there are Russian-speaking KSP communities, and whether they play the game with the Russian UI (if that is the case, it might be interesting to have a Russian translation of Principia)

<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ apparently we got promoted to astrophysicists :-p
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ You're not? I'm a bit embarrassed now, probably a lot of incorrect information there xD
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ About your question, there probably are, but I'm not part of any
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Well, I’m a mathematician by training and a software engineer by profession ; admittedly by writing this mod also I do physics/astrodynamics
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ The other Russian RO players I've seen were playing in English. But Principia is not exclusive to RO anyway, so translation wouldn't hurt. I'm for native translation, despite playing everything in English.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ I agree (my job is in internationalization, so it would be weird if I didn’t), but I need to find people who speak Russian to actually do the translations, and since it’s a nontrivial amount of work it makes sense to prioritize those that will be used

[Principia] eggrobin closed issue #2909: The « mission duration » label in the orbit analyser is cut off in the Chinese translation - https://git.io/Jqny8
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ @egg There's a couple of terms that I don't have the technical knowledge to translate properly:
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ 1. 'gravitationally bound' - the current translation in `#Principia_OrbitAnalyser_Warning_NoElements1` and friends strike me as wrong.
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ 2. Phrases like 'The plane of its orbit around <<2>> is horizontal.'
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Btw, for lunation number I settled on "The <<n>>th new moon as defined in Meeus's _Astronomical Algorithms_ has arrived"... this might be a little wordy, but should at least get the concept across.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ re. 2., make sure it fits (that field might expand though, if it does that’s fine, making the reminder bigger is better, it gets people to upgrade so it goes away :D)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (I am reminded of that one time when the reminder field expanded but was one line, so the window became wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
<queqiao->

<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Is there a way to trigger it?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Not sure which is going to be easiest between setting your system clock and changing the date in the C# (that probably depends whether your KSP is started or not)
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ But I'd guess the length is fine:
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I did see it… unfortunately it only talks about gravitational bonding energy
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I did see it… unfortunately it only talks about gravitational binding energy (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ it looks like the current phrasing is « the trajectory is not in the SOI » which is meh but not too horrible
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ 重力影响范围 seems to be a thing
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Yeah it does, I just didn’t know if references to SOI are what you wanted
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ it’s not *ideal* but it’s not very wrong
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ with a sufficiently fuzzy definition of SOI it’s correct :-p
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Huh, I thought that it’s wrong because a hyperbolic trajectory can be inside the body’s SOI, but that’s not gravitationally bound, right?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ If you want to try to fix that you can try squeezing a zero-width space `\u200B` before that placeholder
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (though this is getting into the realm of Unity being terrible at I18N, not us doing things wrong, and thus verging on Not My Problem ; but if a ZWSP fixes it that’s reasonably easy)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (if a ZWSP does not fix it, well, all the more reason to play with RSS where the names are in CJKV :D)
