About colons in text was created by domcars0

For the Devo10, I'm not sure that semicolons are mandatory in the text displayed.
There is not so much place for the text and sometime one character more is helpfull.
What do you think about that?
In French translation I've remove lot of semicolons which are not really usefull.

I don't see any semicolons in the lang.fr file. Do you have an example of what you mean?

Edit:
Do you mean ':' (colon) at the end of the string? If it makes things fit better, feel free to remove them for your language.

Ah my frenglish

yes I think colon (':') not semi-colon(';')

I think I've found a bug in the translation process ...
There is no more translation after the line 515 in my lang.fr file ???
If I move lines up or down this limit (515) I can see translation working (before 515) or not working(after) ...
Futhermore if a text is not translate the translator will show the next english text? Exemple

:Bird
Oiseau
:Dog
:Cat
Chat

Translation of 'Dog' will be ':Cat' ???

Could you confirm?
(I use the #0e8ae11 commit)

No problem, I understand the language difficulty.

There is a maximum size of the translation file: 8kB (of translated string length, not total file size), or 256 strings whichever is smaller.
If you are working with the Devo10 language file, it should be 168 strings.
The combined language file in filesystem/common/language is larger (currently 274 strings) so you can't load it onto the Tx.

Assuming you are building from source, you can place your updated language file in filesystem/common/language/
and then run 'make TARGET=devo10'
This will create a smaller language file in filesystem/devo10/language/ which will then work with your Tx.

You can also directly edit the tx-specific language file, then append it to the end of the one in 'common' and run:
'make language' which should (untested) consolidate the changes.

And of course .... it works
