Translate instruments.xml

• Jun 22, 2010 - 11:18

Hi,
just wondering what to translate in instruments.xml. I can see that there are , , etc. that could be translated. What should I translate? And should I just pick the instruments.xml from latest trunk?

Example:

{instrument}
{name}Snare Drum{/name}
{short-name}Sn. Dr.{/short-name}
{stafflines}1{/stafflines}
{clef}14{/clef}
{drumset}1{/drumset}
{Drum pitch="37"}
{head}1{/head}
{line}4{/line}
{voice}0{/voice}
{name}Side Stick{/name}
{stem}2{/stem}
{/Drum}
{Drum pitch="38"}
{head}0{/head}
{line}4{/line}
{voice}0{/voice}
{name}Acoustic Snare{/name}
{stem}2{/stem}
{/Drum}
{channel}
{program}0{/program}
{/channel}
{/instrument}

In the section {Drum pitch...} should I translate the {name} within that subsection?

(< and > replaced with { and }, since the forum otherwise understands them as tags. Anyone who knows how to overcome this?)

Under the section "Organ" should I (try to) translate anything other than the "name" and "short-name" tags? There's alot of midiactions with name, but I'm not sure what to translate.

And also: what's the difference between "contrabass" and "double bass" if any? Wikipedia tells me its just two synonyms for the same instrument.

"contrabass" and "double bass" are two words for the same thing. I think they are both included so that people can quickly add the instrument with the name they prefer. If there is only one word in your language then feel free to remove one of them. To remove an instrument delete the text starting from <instrument> and ending with </instrument>

The new "organ" text is new to the latest developments on the trunk for MuseScore. Feel free to test it out. I don't know much about it yet.
