To translate "Delete tne" and "Ignore *.tne", my problem is :
what is "tne" ?

Thanks for the answer.

Hi! That's great, thanks a lot.
.tne is file extension so it should not be translated.
It means Tile does Not Exist. Such files can be stored in cache instead of .jpg, .png, etc.

Tile Not Exist

To developers: let's include it to the distribution if bartho does not mind.
Только один большой косяк: при переключении на фр. названия карт становятся русскими (понятно, что в zmp фр. имён нет). Надо сделать по умолчанию английские.

bartho, could you please change menu item "Langue" to "Langue (Language)" or maybe to "Langue (Язык)" for non-french-speaking people.

[bartho]

Ok for the answer, now I know what is "tne".

No problem to include the translation to the distribution.
Easy to change menu item "Langue" to "Langue (Language)"

But before including, I want to clarify my ideas about some notions like marks and placemarks.

I think that "Marks" is a general word including "placemarks", "tracks" and "polygons" (all of them).
In french "Marks" = "Marqueurs", "placemarks" = "balises", "tracks" = "pistes".
For me "placemark" is a single point with a flag and "track" a lot of points registred when whe are walking along the points.
No problem with polygon, notion easy to separate.

Often, I find "placemarks" for "marks" and "path" for "tracks".
For me, "path" is the way inside the computer to find files. In french = "chemin".

For example :



First and last "Placemarks" should be "Marks"
Second "Placemarks" must be separate, otherwise, I can't translate in "Balises" (result here is "Marqueurs")
"Paths" must be "Tracks" otherwise, I can't translate in "Pistes" (result here is "Chemins").

and the result :

[Ivan30]

"tracks" = "pistes"

sorry for my french
bartho, it is russian idiom, nothing personal

[Tolik]

Chemin is OK, it is not only a path to a file: https://www.google.com/search?q=chemin& ... 02&bih=779

Piste is also a good word, no problem

[bartho]

I know that chemin may go. But, in french, we don't say chemin for a track in a GPS or smartphone, we say piste.
Chemin is the real way in the nature.
The problem is to homogenize the words.
I think that everybody can understand if the words are not allways the same, but in a computer we must be strict for no entering confusion.
The solution is to separate some words in the default.po then we can apply a specific translation for everyone.

Do you think it is possible to separate in the precedent case :
- In Selection Manager, in Delete the 2 Placemarks above ?
- In Selection Manager, in Delete the Paths from others Paths ?

You're right, but we have "Placemark Manager", menu item "Placemarks" in main menu etc. I think it's because in Russian this two words translates as "Метки" (Marks).
