Hi, I'm mym, I did most Neverball French translations. I do agree on the meaning of words "sauver" and "enregistrer". The latter fits better. The reason I preferred "sauver" and "film" over other words is because they are short which better fits with the GUI.
Now I'm not sure that point really matters. I would now prefer a better meaning. However the word "reprise" sounds weird to me. The word "replay" can also be used in French and I haven't found any satisfying translation. mym 2013/2/11 Filipus Klutiero <chea...@gmail.com>: > Package: neverball > Version: 1.5.4-5 > Severity: minor > Tags: l10n upstream > X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-l10n-fre...@lists.debian.org > X-Debbugs-Cc: mehdi.you...@gmail.com > > After a ball is lost or a level completed, the player can save a replay or > continue to the next level.
