Amazon Bargain Watch pages now live for France and Germany

Yipee, Italy too! :D Thanks! :) Well, I live in the UK anyway... :P But I'm Italian! :)

EDIT: Yee-haa, the LEGOShop.com button is back! :)

EDIT 2: DrDaveWatford is now an administrator! :D So now we have a 5-strong team leading Brickset! :)

EDIT 3: Are you using Google Translate for the translations? :P XD

Great !

If you need help to translate into french, drop me a line

@Huw: Good! :P Google Translate can produce some funny results, so it's best to avoid it. :P

EDIT: Why do the charts use the American date system? :P Is it Amazon? :P

All I can say is: Geil! And C'est formidable!
Please please please don't use Google translate, there must be native Deutsche, français, españoles and italiani on Brickset who can help you out.

@LostInTranslation: Oooh, I can help for the Italian version. :P Just give me a moment, I'll post it here (can't use email), unless Huw says no. :P

@alemas: its nothing to do with me mate. It's just that as a translator by trade, I'm not a fan of translation by machines.

Bargain Watch page translation:

[Title] Stufato di pagare prezzo pieno per LEGO?

[Small text] Noi lo siamo! Cosi,' abbiamo collaborato con DrDave da GimmeLEGO per darti questa pagina automaticamente aggiornata che mostra ogni set LEGO ridotto del % o di piu' su Amazon.it.

Ricorda: I prezzi di Amazon cambiano continuamente, quindi controlla spesso. Questa lista e' aggiornata diverse volte al giorno. I tempi mostrati sono locali.

[Big text] Cambia cosa e' mostrato nella lista

[Smaller text] Mostra soltanto i set che sono ridotti di piu' di: [Tick-box]
Mostra soltanto i set di cui il prezzo e' sceso: [Tick-box]
Mostra soltanto i set che sono sul tuo wanted list: [Tick-box]

Huw, do you want a formal tone? And please don't kill me for posting this here, I'm only a kid who can't use his email address to talk to other people. :P

I would love the spanish one! thanks a lot for this! it's very helpful!

@alemas: wow, I'm impressed! That was quick! Just need to put the accents on properly and you're good to go. Do you want a job? :p

@LostInTranslation: Yeah, I don't have the appropriate keys... :P Next up, the alerts. :P I may have to do it later, though... We'll see.

News alert article translation:

I sequenti set sono appena stati ridotti di piu' del 30% su Amazon.it:

[Set] adesso soltanto [Price] (uno sconto di [Price] dal prezzo raccomandato)

Puoi vedere tutti i set attualmente scontati su Amazon.it sulla nostra pagina Amazon Bargain Watch.

Nota: Se preferisci di non vedere questi avvertimenti puoi cambiare le tue preferenze per nasconderle.

MADE IT! :P

Molto bene. Just one typo (i think - its a long time since my Italian gcse!)

Si! Dai Huw, facci il Amazon per noi! Vogliamo vedere i prezzi dei Lego!

And this was not written with Google Translate! But it means "Get us Amazon.it"!

@LostInTranslation: Corrected. :) I put "not" instead of "non". :P

@alemas: yep, that's what I thought :)

I'm not taking French until High School (next school year to be exact), so no help for you there. :P

@Huw: No problem! :) Glad to be of service, for once. :P

Just one last thing, the RSS feed at the bottom of the Bargain Watch page:

Iscriviti al nostro Amazon.it RSS feed per tenersi aggiornati con i cambiamenti.

@DrDave: Any chance that the Amazon.it Bargain Watch page will go live tomorrow, then? :P

Hm, there's still small stuff to translate, I'll do it later. :P

@DrDave: I do, but I translate the other way I'm afraid.

@Alemas: not sure that will happen, DrDave and Huw will be kicking back at flump's bbq tmrw :)

@LostInTranslation: Oh, yeah... :P
@DrDave: All the time in the world to finish up the translations. :P Anyway, here they come...

@DrDave: if no one volunteers for the Spanish translation, I could always ask one of the Spanish girls at work if they'd mind doing it.

Small stuff...

Prices last retrieved at... = Ultimi prezzi recuperati alle [Time] del [Date]
Free postage = Spedizione gratuita
Price is the same as yesterday = Prezzo e' lo stesso di ieri
Price has fallen by [Price] since yesterday = Prezzo e' diminuito di [Price] da ieri
Price has risen by [Price] since yesterday = Prezzo e' salito di [Price] da ieri
Buy at Amazon = Compra su Amazon
Buy = Compra
Discount = Sconto
Amazon Price = Prezzo Amazon
Save [Price] = Risparmi [Price]

Right, I think that's it. :P Yeesh, all this should be spam, but at least it's useful spam... :P

EDIT: One more:

RRP = Prezzo consigliato

Replace "prezzo racommandato" with "prezzo consigliato" in the news alert translation, it sounds better.

Wait, who can forget the Amazon button?! :P

Vedi TUTTI i set scontati su Amazon.it nella nostra esclusiva lista di sconti

And the name?! :P

Bargain Watch: Prezzi scontati su Amazon.it

There, that's REALLY it. :P I hope... :P

EDIT: Wrong, the news article cathegory is still not translated. :P What can it be... Ok, here:

Allerte Amazon.it

Simples. :P At this rate, we'll translate the whole of Brickset... :P Can Brickset support multiple languages, Huw?

This is when English can't be translated into Italian: How can we translate "Bargain Watch"?! :P "Bargain" can't be easily translated... I think we'll have to keep it as it is. :P

Haha... I played with the Bargain Watch URL, and look what I've got: http://www.brickset.com/buy/it/amazon/ And http://www.brickset.com/buy/es/amazon/

How many countries are you going to do?

Amazon.it too please. :-)

Great, I get most of my lego from amazon.fr and amazon.co.uk
and I speak pretty much all World Languages (double major in Acting and World Languages)

@soapbox: They are working on it. And I've translated the page... :P

Nice one! Thanks for including Amazon.de! Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you so much for adding amazon.fr !
Next step now is to let TLC know that France exist ...

^^^I know, it's unfair, isn't it? But I can still use the USA Amazon, thankfully.

@Huw - sorry Huw, I don't follow you there - I can see two Amazon links (.de & .fr) at the top left hand side of this page, if thats what you're wondering. I would say the text is slightly out of focus, but nothing to worry about - just looks like a low res pic that has been enlarged a little. Does that answer your question?

@Huw: You said you wouldn't use Google!

Great! Thank you a lot!

@Huw, the first one is better (Google translate) than the second, but you might want to have that confirmed by BrianOg.

Well, as streeker mentioned, Google did a rather good job. Though, it could be better.
Instead of translating a word for a word, giving the main idea seems better. I would propose : "Voir les sets LEGO en promotion sur Amazon.fr dans notre liste de remises exclusives"
That's just my 2 cents, and Brian may have an even better version.

Amazon.es was ready like 1 month ago. And LEGO offers are cool as in US and UK

@Huw
This is what I came up with with the help of a colleague (I'm actually Irish, but live in France) - its tricky though, cos some simple English words/phrases just don't exist in French. Anyways, here goes nothing:

Retrouvez toutes les dernières bonnes affaires sur Amazon.fr dans notre liste de rabais exclusive

If you could tell me the exact wording in English, I'll get my wife to take a look - she is French, has a PH.D in French literature, and is a French teacher - she should know! - tho she hates my Lego hobby:(

Wait a second, if "de" is Germany, then what's Denmark?!?!!? :P

@Huw - OK, the wife confirmed that my wording above is spot on - here it is again:

Retrouvez toutes les dernières bonnes affaires sur

{Amazon.fr} image

dans notre liste de rabais exclusive

I can still comment on this, even though it's not on the front page anymore... :P Anyway, when will we get a translated version of the Bargain Watch page in French, German, Italian and Spanish?
