Slider 滑杆

It is suggested that the string "slider" be uniformly translated as "控制滑块".

In the context of industrial control, the corresponding English translations of these three terms are as follows:
"控制滑块" (kòngzhì huákuài): control slider (emphasizing the slidable regulating block, commonly seen as a sliding control element on panels or software interfaces)
"控制滑杆" (kòngzhì huágǎn): control slide bar (highlighting the rod-shaped physical sliding component, mostly used in mechanical or hardware adjustment devices)
"控制滑条" (kòngzhì huátiáo): control slide bar (leaning toward the long strip-shaped sliding control structure, which can be used interchangeably with "滑杆" [huágǎn] and is also often used to describe long strip sliding controls on interfaces)
All three terms essentially refer to sliding control components. When translating, the appropriate expression can be chosen based on their specific forms (block, rod, strip). In industrial scenarios, "control slider" and "control slide bar" are the most commonly used professional terms.

[MAKOMO]

Will update Slider translations with the next commit. THANKS!

This is clearly a new PID integration at an higher mathematical level, with all known optimization options for temperature control. These settings will be overwhelming for many. For a layperson without a solid understanding of mathematics or at least a semester of temperature control control engineering, it will be difficult to understand what each setting does.

[beanoccio]

An inexpensive option with an explanatory video to better understand what the new setting options offer. If you understand the PID process as explained in this software and video, you won't need extensive tooltips.
My experience: If you don't understand the PID logic, tooltips with one A4 page of explanations for each Artisan control won't be enough.

Editing .ts files with Qt Creator is indeed straightforward, and it's perfect for managing translation strings like those in artisan_zh_CN.ts. This kind of work is incredibly useful for refining the localization—whether it's polishing existing translation.

[MAKOMO]

Qt Creator (or the older Qt Linguist) are the tools to be used for refining the Artisan translations. Could you improve the Chinese translations that way? Just take the current *.ts files from GitHub and upload the modified versions (rename to end in .txt) here in a comment field.

I looked at your suggestion 保温 for "soak" above and GoogleTranslate turns it back into "Insulation". The current translation in Artisan is "浸泡" and translates fine back by GoogleTranslate to "soak". I let you decide which one fits better.

[Terracotta-6]

In the industrial control industry, when "soak" describes the state of maintaining a constant temperature, translating it as "保温 (bǎowēn)" is in line with industry practices.

In this context, "soak" emphasizes the process of maintaining a set temperature and avoiding significant temperature fluctuations. Meanwhile, "保温 (bǎowēn)" in industrial fields (such as heat treatment, heating control, and other scenarios) precisely corresponds to this meaning. It not only reflects the action of "maintaining temperature" but also implies the requirement for temperature stability, making it a common and accurate translation in the industry. For instance, "soak temperature" is often translated as "保温温度 (bǎowēn wēndù)" and "soak period" as "保温时间 (bǎowēn shíjiān)", both of which conform to the terminology standards of industrial control.

Qt Creator (or the older Qt Linguist) are the tools to be used for refining the Artisan translations. Could you improve the Chinese translations that way? Just take the current *.ts files from GitHub and upload the modified versions (rename to end in .txt) here in a comment field.

I'm trying to modify the unreasonable strings for automatic translation in Qt Creator. It will take some time to learn.

[MAKOMO]

Excellent! There are many sentences and many duplications (some are duplications in one language, but needed for different translations in others). TAKE YOUR TIME!

I would like to suggest if you just do a small part of the work first and then I build your first result in the continuous build for you to test. This will proof us that the cycle works, before spending too much time. Start with that "Soak" and maybe a few other phrases you spot.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

In the context of temperature measurement and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), "Drop Spikes" may refer to sudden drops or spike-like fluctuations in temperature measurement values caused by electromagnetic interference.

Drop Spikes 骤降尖峰

Sensor Data Processing
Sensors such as temperature or pressure sensors may generate continuous duplicate abnormal values (e.g., outputting the same temperature value for 10 consecutive seconds) due to EMI interference, excessively high sampling frequencies, or device lag. In such cases, interpolation algorithms (e.g., linear interpolation, polynomial interpolation) can be used to replace these duplicates with reasonable intermediate values, restoring the true trend of the data.
Example: A temperature sensor records a value of 25°C for 5 consecutive times (when the actual trend should be a gradual temperature rise). Through interpolation, the duplicate values are corrected as follows: 25°C → 26°C → 27°C → 28°C → 29°C.

Interpolate Duplicates 插值重复项

Interpolate Drops 插值处理滴落数据

"Interpolate Drops" can be translated as "插值处理滴落数据" (interpolation processing of dripping data) or "对液滴数据进行插值" (performing interpolation on droplet data).
This term combines data processing with specific scenarios, referring to the use of interpolation algorithms (such as linear interpolation, polynomial interpolation, etc.) to process discrete "dripping data" (such as droplet count, dripping time, descending trend data, etc.). It estimates unknown intermediate values, thereby converting discontinuous data into a continuous, smooth sequence, facilitating the analysis of dripping patterns or trends.

AT channel - 环境温度通道
ET channel - ET通道
BT channel - BT通道
I fully agree that in the current application scenario, uniformly translating all instances of "channel" as "通道 (tōngdào)" is more appropriate.
In scenarios such as industrial control, "通道 (tōngdào)" not only accurately conveys the meaning of signal transmission, data acquisition, or physical paths but also maintains the consistency of terminology. It avoids confusion in understanding caused by translation discrepancies—for instance, "channel" is sometimes translated as "信道 (xìndào)" or "频道 (píndào)" in other contexts. This translation is especially suitable for use in technical documents or system interfaces that require unified standards.
For example, translating "signal channel" as "信号通道 (xìnhào tōngdào)" and "input channel" as "输入通道 (shūrù tōngdào)" can clearly convey the meaning and meet the needs of the scenario.

Container Roasted 容器烘焙

In the field of coffee roasting, "Container Roasted" typically refers to "容器烘焙" (container roasting) or "罐式烘焙" (pot-style roasting). It is a coffee roasting method that centers on enclosed containers as the core equipment, emphasizing a process where coffee beans are heated and processed through specific containers such as roasting pots or roasting barrels.

Task Display Roasted 烘焙任务展示

In the context of coffee roasting or related task management scenarios, "Task Display Roasted" can be understood as "烘焙任务展示" (roasting task display) or "烘焙状态显示任务" (roasting status display task). It refers to tasks or functions related to displaying the coffee roasting process, task progress, or roasting results. The following analysis explains its meaning and applications in specific scenarios:
I. Core Meaning Analysis
Task Display: Refers to "任务展示" (task display), i.e., presenting task information (such as progress, parameters, status, etc.) through interfaces, devices, or documents.
Roasted: Relates to the coffee roasting process, referring to roasting tasks, roasting status, or post-roasting results.
Overall, it can be understood as: A function or specific task for displaying information related to coffee roasting tasks, aimed at clearly presenting key roasting-related information to assist in monitoring, recording, or management.
II. Typical Application Scenarios

1. Functional Interface of Roasting Equipment
   In commercial coffee roasters or intelligent roasting devices, "Task Display Roasted" may be a feature on the device interface, used to display core information of the current roasting task in real time:
   Display content: Roasting stages (e.g., dehydration period, first crack, second crack), real-time temperature, roasting time, target roast level (light/medium/dark), simulated color changes of coffee beans, etc.
   Purpose: Helps roasters monitor the roasting process and adjust parameters in a timely manner to ensure stable flavor.
   Example: “The roaster’s touchscreen features a ‘Task Display Roasted’ function showing real-time temperature curves.”
2. Roasting Task Management and Recording
   In roasting studios or production management, "Task Display Roasted" may refer to the task of recording and displaying lists of roasting tasks or historical data:
   Display content: Daily/weekly roasting task lists (e.g., coffee bean origin, batch number, target roast level, person in charge), results of completed tasks (e.g., actual roasting time, flavor notes), quality inspection data, etc.
   Form: Displayed via spreadsheets, management software interfaces, or physical kanban boards.
   Purpose: Optimizes production processes, traces roasting records, and ensures batch consistency.
3. Display of Roasting Steps in Teaching or Demonstrations
   In coffee roasting teaching, training, or exhibitions, "Task Display Roasted" can refer to the task of displaying roasting task steps or standard processes:
   Display content: Pre-roasting preparations (green bean sorting), equipment preheating, stage-specific temperature control key points, cooling steps, etc., supplemented by graphic or video explanations.
   Purpose: Helps beginners understand roasting logic and standardize operating procedures.
   III. Related Terms and Extensions
   Synonyms: “Roasting Task Monitoring”, “Roast Process Display”.
   Core value: Through clear information display, it enhances the controllability, traceability, and efficiency of the roasting process. Whether in equipment operation, production management, or teaching scenarios, it aims to “visualize” key information of roasting tasks.
   In summary, "Task Display Roasted" focuses on "information display of roasting tasks". Its specific meaning depends on the scenario, but its core is to support the efficient execution of roasting work by displaying roasting-related task data, progress, or processes.

Thanks for all those suggestions to improve the translations. Do you plan to modify the corresponding .ts file yourself and send in the modified file or do you want us to apply those changes?

[Terracotta-6]

do you want us to apply those changes?

I can only offer you some suggestions, which may not be appropriate, and I hope you will weigh them carefully before deciding whether to adopt them.

[MAKOMO]

Ok. I will need a moment to check and integrate your suggestions. Let them come in here using this Discussion item and I will process them once time allows. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

[Terracotta-6]

Achieving both precision and accessibility in translation is no easy feat. Among the challenges, two core difficulties stand out: the accurate conversion of professional terminology and the handling of linguistic and cultural differences. Professional vocabulary must align with the context of the specific field, as even a slight deviation can lead to misunderstandings. Meanwhile, differences in cultural backgrounds and expressive habits inherent in different languages directly affect whether the translation can be naturally understood by target readers. Striking a balance between these two aspects often requires profound linguistic proficiency and cross-cultural awareness.
I am not a professional translator, so there may inevitably be omissions or inappropriate expressions in my translations. I sincerely hope that everyone will not hesitate to point out my mistakes, which will help me improve.

[MAKOMO]

So true. Providing good translations for UIs is an art. We can only do our best. Thanks for your work. I added your suggestions and triggered a new Continuous Build. Might take up to an hour to appear.

After collecting suggestions from several Simplified Chinese users, we have made some optimizations. However, we have noticed that there are still some untranslated contents. Due to my limited capabilities, these translations can only be improved gradually. Thank you for your understanding and patience; we will continue to work hard to enhance the completeness and accuracy of the content.

In the context of coffee roasting (especially related to Artisan software), the Chinese translation terms and common expressions related to "Area under the Curve (AUC)" are as follows:
Core Terms
Area under the Curve: 曲线下面积 (a literal and accurate translation corresponding to the concept of area in mathematics and graphs)
AUC: Can be retained as the abbreviation directly, or translated as "曲线下面积（AUC）" (with the full name supplemented when first mentioned)
Collocations in Roasting Scenarios
烘焙曲线下面积 (hōngbèi qūxiàn xià miànjī): Refers to the area enclosed by the temperature-time curve (e.g., Bean Temperature (BT) or Environmental Temperature (ET) curves) and the time axis. It is an indicator in Artisan for analyzing energy input during roasting.
阶段曲线下面积 (jiēduàn qūxiàn xià miànjī): Such as "干燥阶段 AUC (gānzào jiēduàn AUC)" or "一爆阶段 AUC (yībào jiēduàn AUC)", used to measure the cumulative energy or intensity of temperature changes in specific roasting stages.
AUC 计算 (AUC jìsuàn): Refers to the process of automatically or manually calculating the area under the curve via software, which can reflect the "energy density" of the roasting process (e.g., a higher AUC value may indicate more intense heating in that stage).

AUC "曲线下面积（AUC）”

In the context of coffee roasting (especially in relation to Artisan software), MET typically refers to Maximum Environmental Temperature, and this interpretation is valid.
During the roasting process, Environmental Temperature (ET for short) is one of the key parameters, usually referring to the air temperature inside the roaster (as distinct from Bean Temperature, BT). As "Maximum Environmental Temperature", MET represents the peak value reached by the environmental temperature during roasting. It is often used to analyze heat transfer efficiency, roasting rhythm, etc., and serves as an auxiliary indicator for evaluating the roasting curve.
Therefore, in the context of coffee roasting, it is accurate to correspond MET to Maximum Environmental Temperature.

MET (最高环境温度）

In specific contexts (such as coffee roasting), if there is a need to clearly distinguish between "ambient temperature" and "MET (Maximum Environmental Temperature)", translating "ambient" as "indoor temperature" is feasible. The specific differentiation can be refined based on the scenario:
ambient temperature: Translated as "室内温度 (indoor temperature)", focusing on the temperature of the indoor space where the roasting environment is located (e.g., the natural room temperature of the roasting workshop). It is not directly affected by the heat source inside the roaster and serves as the reference temperature of the external environment.
MET (Maximum Environmental Temperature): Translated as "最高环境温度 (maximum environmental temperature)", specifically referring to the peak value of the environmental temperature inside the roaster (e.g., the highest temperature of the air in the furnace). It is directly related to heat transfer during the roasting process and is a dynamic parameter inside the equipment.

We have completed the compilation of TS files into QM files, subsequently loaded and deployed the QM files on the local computer, and conducted a comprehensive verification of the Chinese translation effect. The final result fully meets the expectations and delivers an excellent overall performance.

[MAKOMO]

I added those translations in my commit just now. I also changed the default font selection. Maybe you can test if an install Fonts with Chinese character can be found now as default Artisan font without having to choose the correct font under Config >> Curves.

The ordered list of fonts to test on Windows for Simplified Chinese is now

['Arial Unicode MS', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Microsoft YaHei', 'SimHei', 'Noto Sans CJK SC', 'Noto Sans SC', 'sans-serif']

The Arial font is large and contains all characters, but is no longer installed per default since Windows 10. The DejaVu is the MPL default font, not containing Chinese characters, but provides the arabic onees. The remaining fonts, but for the last, the sans-serif fall back, should contain Chinese characters and might be installed on Chinese Windows installation. Maybe you can verify this. I have no access to any computer running Windows.

[Terracotta-6]

There is no need to manually adjust the font in "Config >> Curves", Font Default ，When the application is in the Font Default state, the title bar displays all Simplified Chinese characters correctly without garbled text."

Core Summary of Localization for Artisan Professional Coffee Roasting Software
The localization of professional coffee roasting software is a comprehensive local adaptation of language, culture, technology, and coffee industry-specific functions (not mere translation).
Core Difficulties
Understanding of Functional Scenarios: Accurate mastery of the software’s exclusive functions and the logic behind roasting scenarios is required.
Cultural Habit Adaptation
Terminology Accuracy: Terminologies in the coffee roasting industry are prone to ambiguity.
This version has gone through repeated revisions, and we hope it is the final one. I have done my utmost!

What does the abbreviation "CM" stand for?

[MAKOMO]

That one is a funny one. CM stands for Casino Mocca, a company in Budapest Hungary, which suggested to add a metrics to compare the derivation from the foreground ET/BT to the background ET/BT. We had no good idea at that point how to name that measure and thus we used just their initials CM.

Loading other configuration files works without errors; this specific configuration file is provided to you for inspection.

[MAKOMO]

This is an important discovery. Artisan uses a lib providing standard translations of units like time units (day, seconds,..), but the builds were missing the translation data files for the Chinese language. This is now fix and additionally, English is used as a fallback in case of missing support for the selected locale. Note that this issue might have caused also troubles in the Artisan scheduler for Chinese users which is also uses that lib. Good catch! Thanks for reporting.
