Update French translation for statistics page - Needing help 😊

[ldmpub]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand and improve french translation for app stats page.
Yet I have performed 3 changes, I'm 90% sure 😁.

Can you please help me perform next improvement (see yellow part of the screenshot below):

As far as I understand, the 'Total' label here is not a total but a "time difference" (ie subtraction).
I suggest to change it to short label "Différence" or "Résultat" for french (I'm still in reflection yet) but do I need to change (extract for the default / en language file):

string name="statistics_total_tracked_short">Total (1)

or

string name="statistics_detail_total_duration">Total (2)

or does this change requires to add a new string in the translation file? (3)

These proposed changes can also be "ideas" to improve other translations and main / English labels in particular.

In french 'Total' changed to 'Écart', I hope the key statistics_detail_total_duration is not used in other app screens than statistics near 'Retard' / 'Avance' labels?

Hello! This statistics is more "Total" than "Difference" it seems. For example if bars in the chart show: 1 -2 3 -4, total excess will be 4, total deficit will be -6, and total in this card in the screen will be a sum of all bars (or a sum of total excess and total deficit) will be -2. "Difference" or "Gap" in this case would mean a bit different value, which would be a gap between total excess and total difference, which will be 10.

Thanks for your explanation, it's more clear 👍.
I suggest the french word "Solde" instead of total ... "solde" can easily have a positive or negative value.

(sorry => it has to link with the original Title but it's on my same branch 😇)

• Changes performed in french translation:

  • Put the number first, as this is more natural in french and so the most important/variable information comes first (improve readability)
  • Avoid using a dash before a number, as it can be confused with the “−” sign.

• Change to be done in code

  • Handle singular/plural using 2 different translation keys?

Handle singular/plural using 2 different translation keys for this string?
