Do you think, that we could improve also the original English version of manuals? For example, Iā€™m a little bit upset with the Introduction highlight everything that Defold is not suited for instead of really describing what it is and for what it is :confused:

Now Iā€™m translating editor.md and it looks pretty outdated

  • One of views is called ā€œThe Consoleā€ while in View->Toggle Tools Pane, the name Tools Pane looks more suitable for me :wink:

  • Toolbar consists of Position, Rotation, Scale, but also Filters and Toggle Perspective, which are not described anywhere

  • Description of Changed Files regards old hosting :confused:

Some things like:

theĀ BuildĀ ErrorsĀ viewĀ thatĀ showsĀ buildĀ errors,Ā andĀ theĀ SearchĀ ResultsĀ viewĀ thatĀ displaysĀ searchĀ results

are tautological/redundant and I think the names are self explanatory.

And I mean, I could do this, but Iā€™m not a native English speaker, so I hope for someone else to take on this :slight_smile:

Thanks! Youā€™re definitely right. I updated the manual to use terminology more in line with the editor menu names.

Most of us arenā€™t native english speakers.
And as long as you create a pull request, others (e.g. us) will look it through and comment on it, so any major mistakes will be caught early on.

Hey! As far as the original english version of the manuals, I may be able to help! I am a native english speaker and I have no problem with looking into and giving back and contributing in any way that I can!

Is there any way that I can help?
