翻译公式:iOS及更高版本的Tricky Localization

当我有机会为iOS平台实现我们公司Jivo的产品任务之一时,这个故事的情节发展了。但我将从简短的介绍开始。

本地化是移动开发中经常讨论的主题之一。

主要是关于iOS平台的主题,以下方面会受到影响:

  • 简化翻译的组织和同步的服务;

  • 翻译xib文件的最佳实践;

  • 用于验证翻译的辅助编译时附加程序。

但是,我们的故事并非如此。为了同步翻译,我们已经在公司中成功集成了第三方服务,而不是xib文件,我们更喜欢代码,并且不使用编译时加载项(但是,有实现的想法)。

我们的故事讲述的是,有一天我们有机会面对一项任务,其中有必要对意义上相同的短语进行翻译,根据上下文的不同对其进行了稍微的修改。

一切如何开始

我们的产品现在具有设置提醒的功能。如果操作员希望稍后再返回给客户,提醒可能会很有用。例如,澄清咨询后一段时间是否还会出现其他问题,这有助于提高忠诚度。您可以为自己或其他操作员设置特定时间的提醒,并且可以根据需要选择指定文本注释(说明)。

当然,设置这样的提醒的事实在对话带中通过系统消息被复制。正是在这里发现了难题:根据提醒的配置,信息标签看起来可能完全不同。例如(从界面的英文版开始):

◼︎ You created the reminder for agent Alex on 08/29/20 at 4:30 PM



◼︎ Agent Nick created the reminder "Ask about any issue happened since our call" on 10/03/20 at 11:30 AM



◼︎ Agent Alex completed the reminder on 12/05/20 at 5:00 PM
