The basics...
Project Details:
GDevelop is the desktop version of the GDevelop Website I completed some days earlier. After having worked on the Website translation, I felt it right to go on and translate the program as well.
According to its official website:
"GDevelop is an open-source, cross-platform game creator designed to be used by everyone - no programming skills required."
Let your creativity run wild and create any type of game you wish!
The tools?
Plenty!
Use the revolutionary tool of "events" and create games from scratch without any special programming knowledge. You can publish your work to the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and even Facebook Messenger; and if you are using the app, you can easily export your game to Android.
Tutorials and guides are available to help you make your first steps, and for the more advanced users, some Javascript will surely send your game to the moon... and further!
You can either make your games online or download the program on your computer and... let the game begin!

Why this project?
After completing Mura CMS, the open-source content management system, I had to go through the whitelisted projects again and find myself another piece that would not only be suitable for my skills, but also close to my interests. GDevelop seemed like a fun project with lots of potential and benefits to offer, so I spared no second thoughts and started translating it into my native language.
I am a creative person myself, therefore a project that "feeds" on people's creativity and offers chances to promote it and have fun, while sharing the final results with so many other users, seemed like something I'd like to help and spread the word about. The fact that games created with GDevelop are compatible with almost any platform, raises the chances of it being adopted by new users more easily. Don't forget that it's like a "game creator for dummies", armed with guides and tutorials to help the average user who wants to experiment and create their own game to share with their friends and why not... the rest of the world!
For all the above reasons, I would like to see more Greek speaking users try this game creator out, and this is why I am translating the project into Greek.
Contribution Specifications
Translation Overview:
The original text contains 25,312 words to translate, a number quite big. This project will be completed in at least 18 parts.
When I first started working on the GDevelop project, some strings were already translated and approved. My job is to read those again and make sure they are correct and follow the wording and writing style I use throughout the project. If I come across bad translations, I will of course fix them.
In terms of difficulty, this project seems a bit harder in some parts, but I worry not as my guardian angel... ehm, guardian LM I meant, will be on the watch and give a helping hand when things get messy... Gaming (as if I didn't see that coming) and developing terms raise the bar of difficulty in various parts, not only because I need to understand their exact function in the program, but also because there is not a complete word bank in the Greek language and the English terms are preferred most of the time.
Languages:
The original text is all written in English and it is my task to translate it in Greek (my mother tongue).

The current session...
Activity Overview:
The 9th part continues being relatively easy, simple syntax but certain terms require attention and so does the correct place of the untranslated variable (due to the differences between the Greek and the English syntax). I keep working on new strings, past translations are almost fully corrected and whenever I am not sure of a term I ask
We're still dealing with the parameters of the scene's objects in this session and mostly their physics behavior (whether the objects will be subjects of the laws of physics or not). Here are a few strings:
"Physics engine" ="Μηχανή φυσικής"
where an option is to:
"Make objects move as if they are subject to the laws of physics." = "Κάντε τα αντικείμενα να κινούνται σαν να υπόκεινται στους νόμους της φυσικής."
and you can:
"Make the object static" = "Κάντε το αντικείμενο στατικό"
or:
"Make the object immovable." = "Κάντε το αντικείμενο αμετακίνητο."
Word Count:
According to Crowdin's word count tool, in this session I translated 1235 words. After subtracting a rough 6% for:
a) variables like "PARAM0",
b) untranslated words that were mainly programming and gaming terms like "shooter" and "platformer" (I chose to leave such words in English as they are common words Greek gamers meet every day, so the original English word is better understandable for them), which were few if not any in this part and
c) a few duplicate strings,
I can say that I have translated about 1160 words.
Note: The previous part was about 1142 words.

TL;DR
I finished the 9th part of the GDevelop desktop project. GDevelop is a game creating software. In this part I worked on strings mainly on the behavior of the scene's objects and the parameters that will define whether it will obey the laws of physics or not. I asked for
