I have used my phone manual to have a translation that is as correct as possible (especially concerning legal stuff).
Here's a few notes and questions I've written during the translation that might help improving it:
Image texts are left untranslated because they can't directly be modified in the Word document.
Section 1:Section 2.1:
- Is the USB-C cable only a power cable or a data cable as well ?
- I am not sure for the translation of "Operational variables and cautions", I'll be happy to have some help for this one
Section 2.2:
- For temperatures, "*" as been kept instead of "°", like in the original document
- I have translated "designated container" to "point de collecte" ("collection point") because it is more used in French.
However, if the exact translation is needed, it is: "conteneur désigné".
Section 4:
- "The batteries are to be returned to the sender": Are they to be returned to the sender only if the end user wants to return the batteries to PINE64?
Section 5:
- "Software Releases" ("Software Release" in the original document) as not been translated because it is a section of the English Wiki.
- "multi-color notification LED" has been translated to "RGB notification LED" because it is more spread in French, but the fact that the LED is actually RGB needs to be confirmed ?
I prepared an update for the french translation.
It includes some typo, minor wording corrections but also some french idiomatic rephrasing, acronym descriptions for easier reading.
The section about certifications (RED etc) not available in rev 1.2 but in 1.3 , has also been included
I can send it by email as I was not able to attach to this post
