[INDEX] App Translators - Developers, we translate your apps! [10 Jun 2017]

Thanks, that was quick! That string actually refers to the system's night mode, as in, "Use the system's night mode setting" to determine whether to enable/disable night mode in the app, vs Manually.

Ok, that's the disadvantage of just sharing strings instead of a usable tool...
Then it has to be "Systemeinstellung" in the string that I just provided by PM.

I agree, if the changes are too many I will consider extending Crowdin.

Guys, I realized that the string "System setting" has been translated to "settings" instead of "setting", but it should be singular. The context is: "Use the system's night mode setting". So "setting", NOT "settings". I also changed it to "Use system setting" to make it more clear, but also left the old one in case the new one is too long (esp. in German), would be great if you could do both and then I'll check which is best.

<string name="night_mode_use_system">Use system setting</string> <!-- "setting" is singular! -->
<string name="night_mode_use_system_old">System setting</string> <!-- singular here too -->

İ do not think that singular will sound good. There are many cases when we use the term "system settings", no matter whether it refers to many values or to a single one. Sure, you can use singular, if you want to, but in Russian it will be unusual. İ'd leave the translation as it is.

Thanks gaich.

I saw another app use "Set by System", maybe this is better even in English and easier to understand for the user, and it's probably shorter in langs such as German, what do you think?

<string name="night_mode_use_system">Set by System</string>

<string name="night_mode_use_system">Set by System</string>

I think there's quite a difference. In the first case, it's the user's decision/choice to use the system setting. In the latter case, the user has no choice and it's just a statement that something (probably as default) is set by the system.
But anyway, here're some possibilities:
<string name="night_mode_use_system">gemäß System</string>
<string name="night_mode_use_system">Durchs System festgelegt</string>
<string name="night_mode_use_system">Voreinstellung</string>
<string name="night_mode_use_system">Durchs System eingestellt</string>

 

[turquoisetools]

<string name="night_mode_use_system">Durchs System festgelegt</string>

Google Calculator uses "Wird durch Energiesparmo-dus festgelegt" for "Set by Battery Saver" in the exact same context (night mode behavior dialog).

So would "Set by System" be "Wird durch System festgelegt"? Is "Durchs System festgelegt" (shorter) the same?

Certainly a valid possibility to the four provided above but this one is even longer.

I'll go with "Durchs System festgelegt" so it's similar to Google but a little shorter, thanks!

Jr, it will be
<string name="night_mode_use_system">Установлено системой</string>
But, as I said above, I do not liket his translation at all.

OK, I don't want to use something you guys don't like. Was "Системные настройки" the one you liked?
@Oswald Boelcke do you like more "Systemeinstellung" or "Durchs System festgelegt" like Google does?

Системные настройки sounds better.
