Translation error in de.lng

[Bzzz]

Hi everyone
The german health status of my oldest drive has some strange meaning, and by comparing it to the english text I finally found out what was meant in here...please fix it in your next version!

An diesem Punkt ist kein Garantieersatz mehr möglich, nur falls der Zustand früher schlechter wurde.

~ If the health degradation had already begun, warranty replacement would be possible. At this point this is no longer an option.

->should be replaced by:

Der Zustand der Festplatte reicht noch nicht für einen Garantietausch beim Hersteller aus. Erst bei weiterer Verschlechterung kann eine RMA beantragt werden.

which is about the same as the english translation.

Thank you

Thanks for the tip
I'm checking it with the translator and modify the LNG file for the new version.

Hi Bzzz, ich muss zugeben, dass ich bei diesem Satz böse ins Schleudern kam. Dein Satz klingt in diesem Zusammenhang logisch und sinnvoll.
Deshalb hab ich deinen Satz 1 zu 1 in die de.lng übernommen. Mach mich ruhig weiter auf eventuelle Fehler in der Übersetzung aufmerksam.
Man kann nicht alles wissen.

Danke

you can download and update from http://www.hdsentinel.com/files/de.lng

Thanks so much for TychoBarfy for the translation!

Hi,
some other fixes:
(original line from de.lg / fixed one)

Line 52:Firmware Revision
-> "Firmware-Revision" OR just "Firmware"

Line 53: Festplatte Seriennummer
-> Seriennummer
(same with 56, 57, 58: just delete the prefixed "Festplatte"

Line 55: ATA Informationen
-> ATA-Informationen

Line 114: Aktuelle Temperatur ist gut war jedoch vorher zu hoch. Es wird empfohlen, wenn möglich einen Festplattenkühler zu verwenden (z.B. einen Lüfter oder einen passiven Kühler).
-> Aktueller Temperaturwert ist gut, war jedoch früher bereits zu hoch. Es wird empfohlen, wenn möglich, einen Festplattenkühler zu verwenden (z.B. einen Lüfter oder einen passiven Kühler).

Line 638: Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, ihren Verlust zu verhindern.
-> Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, um Datenverlust zu verhindern.
Maybe also in a more warning way: "Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, um Datenverlust zu verhindern. Die Festplatte steht kurz vor einem Ausfall"

Line 857: Interface=Oberfläche
-> Interface=Schnittstelle

Line 932: Short Self-test Estimated Time=Kurz-Selbsttest geschätzte Zeit
-> Short Self-test Estimated Time=Geschätzte Zeit für kurzen Selbsttest

Line 933: Extended Self-test Estimated Time=Erweiterter Selbsttest geschätzte Zeit
-> Extended Self-test Estimated Time=Geschätzte Zeit für erweiterten Selbsttest

--------------
Missing at all: (near line 934) Translation for Conveyance Self-test Estimated Time ? ->"Geschätzte Zeit für Transport-Selbsttest"

--------------
Under consideration:
Line 408: Das Laufwerk fand während des Selbsttests \1 schlechte Sektoren.
This shows the number of bad sectors discovered by the extended offline test and adds to the number of bad sectors already listed in attribute 05. But I don't know if this number can be greater than zero while 05 is still zero.
Maybe this should be changed to "Das Laufwerk fand während des Selbsttests zusätzlich \1 schlechte Sektoren." which sounds strange without line 405 displayed before that. Also I don't know if there is a different message if only one bad sector is displayed. A multi-purpose line in singular and plural forms looks really awful...
-------------
Other thoughts:

• unformatted capacity (ATA information) and total capacity (overview section) should be the same, no need to display both of them
• capacity is shown in binary mebibytes (2^20 bytes, "MiB") but displayed as "MB", which indicates unary 10^6 bytes. Maybe show both of them in their correct unit?
• cache capacity is shown as kilobytes (KB), but as it is a piece of silicon, it contains real kibibytes (kiB). Same problem as above but in opposite direction. Please clarify!
• bytes per sector and total sectors shouldn't be separated by the field ata revision
• furthermore, is the bytes per sector field displaying the real value (anyone got a 4096b-sector hard disk for testing?) or the possible emulated value of 512 bytes?

Now filing some bug reports..stay tuned

Hi,

Thanks for your message.
I'm forwarding it to TychoBarfy, who makes the DE.LNG so he can decide if the suggested changes should be applied.

However, I can respond for these:

- Unformatted capacity and total capacity may be the same but sometimes these are different, especially on older hard disks.
- As you may see, the software everywhere uses binary values (2^n). KB/MB/GB/TB is the standard unit for this (despite Wikipedia). If you want to verify, you can see the same values in lots of other software (or just check Windows disk management itself) and there is no "MiB" displayed but MB/GB displayed there.
To prevent confusion (but to display the capacity also in 10^n byte units) the end of the Information page displays it that way for known drives, for example: 250 x 1 000 000 000 bytes
- The same is true for cache size. For consistency, everywhere used the proper KB/MB units (which is 1024 bytes, 1024 x 1024 bytes and so)
- Thanks for the cosmetic tip about the order of bytes per sector and total sectors, it may be changed.
- The bytes per sector represents the smallest logical unit the OS can read/write. This is in most cases 512 bytes (even on drives with 4096 byte sectors). This may be changed in a later version.

Microsoft is known for ignoring the international SI and IEC standards on binary prefixes (http://www.iec.ch/zone/si/si_bytes.htm) for years. Just google for users that think their new hard disks are tool small...
Wikipedia obeys them (...most of the time), and especially free, open source software has often a correct implementation of what a kilo-byte is. The "kilo" dates back to ancient greece. So the binary kilo with its different value has no right to use the same unit.

The same is true for cache size. For consistency, everywhere used the proper KB/MB units (which is 1024 bytes, 1024 x 1024 bytes and so)

For cache, using 1024^n bytes is the preferred method, as it is manufactured in that way. Using 10^n units would scramble the even numbers like 2, 4, 8, ... MiB.

- The bytes per sector represents the smallest logical unit the OS can read/write. This is in most cases 512 bytes (even on drives with 4096 byte sectors). This may be changed in a later version.

Yep, that was the question. 4k hard disks emulate 512b sectors, but their physical sector size is eight times larger than that. So the attribute should indicate if 512b is just logic or also physical size of a sector.

At first, thanks Bzzz for your suggestions.

Line 52:Firmware Revision
-> "Firmware-Revision" OR just "Firmware"

Took "Firmware-Revision".

Line 53: Festplatte Seriennummer

(same with 56, 57, 58: just delete the prefixed "Festplatte"

OK, removed "Festplatte".

Line 55: ATA Informationen

OK

Line 114: Aktuelle Temperatur ist gut war jedoch vorher zu hoch. Es wird empfohlen, wenn möglich einen Festplattenkühler zu verwenden (z.B. einen Lüfter oder einen passiven Kühler).
-> Aktueller Temperaturwert ist gut, war jedoch früher bereits zu hoch. Es wird empfohlen, wenn möglich, einen Festplattenkühler zu verwenden (z.B. einen Lüfter oder einen passiven Kühler).

Took "Aktueller Temperaturwert ist gut, war jedoch früher bereits zu hoch.".

-> Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, um Datenverlust zu verhindern.
Maybe also in a more warning way: "Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, um Datenverlust zu verhindern. Die Festplatte steht kurz vor einem Ausfall"

Took "Es wird empfohlen, die Daten sofort zu sichern, um Datenverlust zu verhindern.".

Line 857: Interface=Oberfläche
-> Interface=Schnittstelle

OK

Line 932: Short Self-test Estimated Time=Kurz-Selbsttest geschätzte Zeit
-> Short Self-test Estimated Time=Geschätzte Zeit für kurzen Selbsttest

OK, changed all "Kurz-Selbsttest" to "Kurzer Selbsttest".

Line 933: Extended Self-test Estimated Time=Erweiterter Selbsttest geschätzte Zeit
-> Extended Self-test Estimated Time=Geschätzte Zeit für erweiterten Selbsttest

OK

--------------

Missing at all: (near line 934) Translation for Conveyance Self-test Estimated Time ? ->"Geschätzte Zeit für Transport-Selbsttest"

Inserted this line at 934. May be Janos will do this later too. If not, I'll change this again.

Wrote now "Während des Selbsttests gefundene schlechte Sektoren: \1".

Also changed "Geschätzte verbleibende Zeit:" in line 519 to "In etwa verbleibende Zeit:" because the string was a bit too long.
Also found a typing error.

Thank you very much for the updated version!

It is now available at the Languages page ( http://www.hdsentinel.com/languages.php )
or directly from http://www.hdsentinel.com/files/de.lng

I agree that Microsoft often does not follow the standards
However, I'm sure KiB / MiB is much more confusing for users as they may be not familiar with these units because they never see it (unless they read the appropriate wikipedia article which is not common). So it is not planned to change the units in Hard Disk Sentinel as now it is consistent with the OS and other software.

For cache, using 1024^n bytes is the preferred method, as it is manufactured in that way. Using 10^n units would scramble the even numbers like 2, 4, 8, ... MiB.

That's why for cache 1024^n bytes are displayed ALSO (just like for capacity) to prevent confusion.
So I can confirm that both values are displayed with 1024^n and with the KB/MB/GB unit.

Yep, that was the question. 4k hard disks emulate 512b sectors, but their physical sector size is eight times larger than that. So the attribute should indicate if 512b is just logic or also physical size of a sector.

Yes I agree. This may be changed to make it more clear.

Thanks, I'm sure TychoBarfy will check and make further modification if it is required

A part of the online time: the time when the heads are actively moving (positioning).

As the topic indicates, the issue was related to DE.LNG (German language) only - but it's already fixed.

Oh, and some of the serials of your WD20EARS-00MVWB0 WMAZA1686361 are quite blurred
Btw, this drive has warranty until 11/27/2012, but only if it still resides in the WD Elements Desktop New (WDBAAU0020HBK) it came in. As this is an external USB2.0 enclosure, it is highly unlikely to reach 118 MB/s - which usually means that your warranty is already void
