Bolko Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hey everybody! tl;dr -> Please translate the sentence "Hold button for 3 seconds" into french, italian and spanish, THANKS ALOT! I develop an app for children and there is a safety feature that the children are not able to get into the settings. So when they press the settings button, a countdown will start. But as some adult people also do not understand that, I implemented an infobox to give a hint when somebody hits the settings button too shortly several times. Now I need the label translated into it, fr and es. "Hold button for 3 seconds" thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salc2 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi, in Spanish would be: "Presione el botón por 3 segundos". Cheers. Bolko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi, French would be: "Maintenez le bouton pendant 3 secondes" Bolko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolko Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Muchas Gracias and Merci beaucoup!!! Just a question regarding your translations: Would it be ok to leave the "el" / "le" out? Just like in the english sentence where I think it´s ok to write "Hold button for 3 seconds" instead of "Hold the button for 3 seconds" ? Just want it to be as short as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 In french you cannot remove the article "le". If you want, you can send the whole context in which the sentence is found so that we can adjust our translations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolko Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks, Zim, it´s really just a message in a bubble pointing to the button. No extra context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
