German Language File 4.3 small error

I am currently setting up a sandbox project for presentaion and came across three spelling mistakes in the german backend language. It would be nice if they were corrected in the version for download.

Hello Markus Berchtold,

Thank you for reporting this. We will make sure to fix the German language pack as soon as possible.

I thought I had imported the 4.4 language pack but still get this and other spelling mistakes. However I don't seem to find this in the language pack -> could it be that they are somewhere else?

Hi Markus,

Currently there seems to be an issue with the capital letters of  nouns in the German language.
As for the labels that are not translated but are not present in the language packs, some of them seem to be hardcoded, so I'm tracking them down so that the dev team could export them all for translation.

I'll be more than thankful if you can send me more of these if you come across any!

Dear Grisha

Hello Markus,

I perfectly understand what you mean, Markus, however do not forget that higher editions come with more unlocked features. It's all there in Sitefinity, so following the same logic, someone else would like to have the Ecommerce functionality in SBE - it's there anyway, right?
We are not cannibalizing the higher editions by putting in more options in the free and SBE one, as this would destroy the balance that we are maintaining.

Do you think that $499 is too high for what you get with Sitefinity SBE? Can you give me an example with other CMS that offers the equivalent for less?

Dear Greg

I love Sitefinity and would not want to use any other CMS since the usability of SF is so much better then any CMS I have looked at so far.

The price for the SBE $499 is absolutely ok and I can say that this is an investment for any small business that will pay off in the first year.

What I do think is that having the option of multiple backend languages is in no way cannibalizing higher editions because I would assume zero customers will update from SBE to SE for 1500 USD just to use multiple backend languages.

I also don't thinks that anyone would say. Well now that I can have multiple backend languages in SBE I don't need the option of unlimited pages, e-commerce possibility, load balancing optoin and so on.

Don't want to get into any longely discussion.

I have a different view and you are boss. Your product, your decision - I can 100% accept that.

All I say is. Technology is there, would probably not make any difference sales wise and the current implementation is hard to understand.

You can add multiple backend languages in SBE. You can set one or the other as default but importing overwrites whatever is there.

So please except my apologies I did not want to go down that road again.

Markus

Hi Markus,

Thank you for your understanding and for your constuctive feeback. I wouldn't want to leave you with wrong impression - your feedback is really valuable and we listen. I've forwarded this internally to the Sitefinity teams. I'll keep you posted on any resolution on this.

Kind regards,

Here is some more feedback (I assume the problems might exist in French/Italinan ...... and other languages as well)

Well here is another on in 4.4

More to be fixed in 4.4

Thanks, Markus!

I've corrected whatever could be fixed through the language pack itself. There is a glitch that we found out thanks to your remarks, which we are fixing and the fix will be included in 5.0.

Keep 'em coming if you find more! And Enjoy your Telerik points!
