Hi everybody! I would like to upload a theme of my creation on the site but it doesn't work... It writes: "Merci de sélectionner un fichier de thème sur votre disque dur." ("thanks for selecting a theme file on your computer") but i've already selected it, i don't understand. What can i do?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for the mistakes cause i'm french. :lol:

Thanks for letting me know this. It seems like the french translation is very very bad in this case. I did not translate the interface into french because my french is not the very best (although I had learned it a few years in school).
The correct english phrase it this case is "Please select a theme-file from your harddisk." which occurs if you did not select a theme-file (.sdt or .thm) from your harddisk.
I recognized that not only this phrase is translated very bad into french, but also several other phrases. Would you try to do that for me and translate them correctly?
I'll drop you a PM for more details.

hi,
this translation is good ("Merci de sélectionner un fichier de thème sur votre disque dur") but the problem is that although i've selected a .thm file, it doesn't work... Maybe the file is too heavy?

No, the translation is not good at all. You already explained it in your first posting: The meaning is not to thank someone for selecting a filename from the harddisk but to tell someone (the uploader) that he did not do it. The word "merci" ("thank you") ist completely wrong in this translation, it has to be "s'il vous plait" ("please") at the end of the phrase, as far as I know (like I said, my french is not the very best).
And of course, the upload-tool works perfectly. Numerous people are uploading new themes every day without any problems.
How big is your theme-file?

you can say "merci de sélectionner..." to tell someone to do it and not just to thank, so the translation is good.
my theme file make 7 341Ko... It's big.

Ok I have understood the translation stuff now.
About your theme's filesize: what does "7 341Ko" mean? 341KB? 7341KB (=7,34MB)?
Sorry but I don't know what "7 341Ko" is supposed to mean. If it is 7,3 MB, it is to big and even if you were able to upload it, I would never approve it (because I am the one who has to pay the traffic bills ;)).
The average theme-filesize is approximately 250KB.

hmmm okay it must be that, so XD. I suppose that 7 341Ko may be 7,3MB. I don't know why this file is so big and how to make it smaller.
