KeyboardCleanTool v8.0

Configuration Help & General Discussion
1

The new version is awesome, congrats @Andreas_Hegenberg

Some questions:

  1. The title bar of the configuration window is transparent. Is it by design or a cosmetic issue?

  1. There are some sentences in spanish that can be improved. Do you want that I send you some corrections?

  2. I would love to see this application in catalan language. I think I can do a complete translation of all sentences to catalan for free, in the case you want to offer the app in catalan also. Just let me know your thoughts on this.

  3. KeyboardCleanTool has no option to change its defaullt language. I think it would be useful to add this feature.

  4. When the action "Start Keyboard Clean Mode" is triggered from my BTT, the Status Card is shown in english (as my BTT app is in english). I wonder if it would be easy to add an option for showing the staus card in another language.

  5. It seems there is a bug in the update option of the "KeyboardCleanTool" app. When I click the button of the window or the menu item, I get this window saying "Update error! An error occurred during recopilation of information of the update. Please try it later. Cancel update":

I'll fix the titlebar, it looks fine here on Golden Gate, but there might be an issue with older macOS. Spanish improvements would be very welcome, I can also add Catalan, do these strings make sense?

Unfortunately having parts of BTT's UI in a different language is not possible - also I have not yet enabled the update channel, it will be enabled with the first update.

I'm doing the translations.

I have two questions:

Sentence 56: "macOS only lets KeyboardCleanTool block input after you allow it under %@. A helper panel will show you where to drop the app."
Don't know what is the context for this sentence. It means to drop the app to the Applications folder?

Sentence 58: "…or just enable the toggle next to %@. Dragging the icon into the list can be more reliable."
Don't know what is the context for this sentence. The toggle is a button? The icon is the icon of the app?

Two addtional questions:

  1. Sentence 10: "Check again"
    I would appreciate some context here to translate it more accurately.

  2. Cleaning Mode in the EN version is always in capitals for the first letters. Do you want the same structure for spanish/catalan? (Another option is to keep "Cleaniing Mode" in english, untranslated like “Touch Bar”, “Dock”, “Trackpad”, “KeyboardCleanTool”, “BetterTouchTool”/“BTT” )

This is about the permissions in System Settings where you need to activate KeyboardCleanTool (you do that by dragging the app icon into the list)

This is also about that. Instead of dragging the app icon there you can also enable the toggle next to the KeyboardCleanTool name

This checks again whether the permissions have been granted

I think keeping it untranslated might make sense due to the app name

Files for catalan and spanish translations, adding "Cleaning Mode" to the list of untranslated items:

Remark: I have changed "Cleaning mode" to "Cleaning Mode" in the english sentences of 13, 26, 27 and 45.
