A space is missing in the German translation during installation

[Dyras]

Hello! I'm not filling out this form because this is a 5 sec issue, if that's OK?

"Starte automatischSandboxie-Plus" is what it says. However it should definitely say
"Starte automatisch Sandboxie-Plus"
(A space is missing)

It looks like the error is located on the Inno Setup repository, so a new pull request is needed there:
https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/blob/15db6745cd5480d06710a287afbf0ba8d45f6034/Files/Languages/German.isl#L404

P.S. It is related to the Sandboxie Plus installer, but this repository is not directly involved. Maybe the fixed line could be temporarily added on our Languages.iss file, but I would like to ask an opinion about it.

As isaak654 mentions, German.isl contains the issue.

Even if updated upstream, the fix would not be available until the new released version of Inno Setup is used for the compile. So, a temporary override in Languages.iss could be added until German.isl is fixed.

A fix for Languages.iss has been commited: 3fb7d8e

It's also quite amazing that they requested you to sign a license agreement for another minor typo fix in your pull request there.

@isaak654
Yeah, not very friendly. I always think twice before signing something as you can be put into a legal conflict. The PR is just to fix a typo. I do not expect German,isl to be fixed too soon.

Of course it is wrong to have the name being written next to the string without there being a space.

I am not even sure that the fix is sorting it out from a grammatical point of view.

Automatically start %1

turns to

Starte automatisch %1

while it would be better if it would be

Starte %1 automatisch

so that it reads Starte Sandboxie-Plus automatisch

Alternatively one could have

%1 automatisch starten

to have it read Sandboxie Plus automatisch starten

or

Automatisch starten: %1

Those would allow users to be able to read it without there being a grammatical 'concern'.

@bastik-1001

Alternatively one could have

%1 automatisch starten

Same as dutch, is that preferred grammer as the temporary fix in Languages.iss?

These are AutoStartProgram translations:

Language	Custom Message
english	Automatically start %1
ChineseSimplified	自动启动 %1
ChineseTraditional	自動開啟 %1
dutch	%1 automatisch starten
french	Démarrer automatiquement %1
german	Starte automatisch%1
italian	Esegui automaticamente %1
polish	Automatycznie uruchamiaj aplikację %1
portuguese	Iniciar %1 automaticamente
russian	Автоматически запускать %1
spanish	Iniciar automáticamente %1

• dutch and german are similar.
• portuguese and spanish are similar.

What this shows is that the order of the words can vary.

It's an automated process which is commonly used in many repositories.

In fact, I have changed my mind since then.
