In German language “handler” translates correctly (not literally) to “Steuerungsroutine”, “Steuerungsprozedur”. “Routine” or ”Prozedur” is understood here as “kind of specialised program” It is an IT related expression not in common usage, neither in English nor in German translation. But by translating it people at least might get an idea what is meant. Maybe the German wording helps to find correct wording in other languages also, it is more descriptive than English original. Only IT experts can make something of the word “handler” if not translated. So you can check whether “manipulador” can be understood the way I’ve described.
I can confirm “rubberband seletion” is commonly used for the mouse action zeh has described.
I believe you can at least translate the words “Device” and “Open” in the line Marcelo has quoted.
On transifex you’ll find the pt version of unplugdrive already, translated by PPC. So you can use this also as a base for Brasilian Portuguese.
and all of a sudden you realized that somebody else stepped in without having given a word and changed your translations?
I’d say thank you, if the changes are reasonable. 🙂 But I know what you mean, which is the same what I described by using the word “troll” for a person behaving like this. There are two approaches you can deal with this porblem: one way is only to accept people for translators being able to cooperate with others. Then you don’t need reviewing. More than once I’ve asked an original translator before changing a freshly translated string I felt not to sound natural. The other way you can deal with this problem is to block all translators by reviewing from correcting strings fast and efficiently whenever somebody feels it is recommendable. Then you should at least have as many reviewers as possible, giving this status to all people proven to be able to cooperate with others while translating and not behaving like a troll.
