Suunto Plus apps

New apps are awesome!
Just one small rant:
Translations (in French) are real bad. Seriously, can we help with translation? Everytime something new appear in SA, it’s poorly translated.

@pavel-samokha The swim run app appears in the “new” section. Do you know if it was updated?

@pavel-samokha great! I couple of very useful ones. Question, my SA is in English language but Suunto Pluss app descriptions are in local (phone) language. Is it possible to force English? I guess translation was made by google translate because it’s really bad…

@taziden anything specific?

@tuxella Last updated on Aug 1

@Likarnik there should be a button to switch description back to English. What OS do you use?

tuxella

@pavel-samokha Thank you, I wasn’t sure if the “updated” date in the description referred to the app or the description. You made it clear

@pavel-samokha on Android I don’t find such button to switch to English

@halajos That’s how it works for me on Android:

@taziden anything specific?

Movement app:
“High” “active” and “light” are translated badly and differently in the description.
First occurence of light is translated by “lumière” (which means the light from the sun for instance, not the opposite of heavy).
High is translated by “haut” then by “élevé”.

Score counter: “Avec un jour, Regarder montre les points que vous avez reçus”. This sentence makes no sense because Watch is translated by “Regarder” (which means “to watch”, not the watch you wear on the wrist)
“Avec deux joueurs, La montre les points”, here it’s well translated but there is a verb missing.

I could go on like this for a long time, which I lack of for now.

@taziden haha - all this sounds like those awesome Chinese translations we had in consumer products like 20 years ago
I guess Suunto should use a better KI for translation of these texts

@taziden descriptions in S+ store are translated automatically (should be able to switch it to English as showed above). So it’s kinda expected it will be bad, it’s not feasible to translate descriptions of all apps to 20 languages manually

It’s not just the app btw. Load in the Coach tab is translated by “Charger” instead of “Charge”. That shouldn’t be automatic I guess, and it’s a 30s fix.

These would be nice to report, but could you create a separate topic for it? I’ll share it with the team then

I just found this one in the rest of SA. All the other bad translations are within the apps description.

Another funny French translation in the app :
Memory free available on the map management section si translated in « gratuit » (« free of charge »)….

halajos

@pavel-samokha the same in my SA (4.76.2), doesn’t have that button, but may contain English words in traces:

Likarnik

@pavel-samokha @halajos same for me, no button on android

DMytro

I see a lot of apps aren’t compatible with S9. Is this temporary or hardware limited?

Je suis bien content que la mémoire de ma SV soit Gratuite
