GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 548446
Need translation context
Last modified: 2008-08-20 23:06:12 UTC
We need to add a context for the following string to tell tranlators not to translate things before pipe: #: ../src/file-manager/fm-properties-window.c:1363 #, c-format msgid "MIME type description (MIME type)|%s (%s)" msgstr "%s (%s)" (Reported by Shankar Prasad on gnome-i18n)
Created attachment 116958 [details] [review] Proposed comment
/* Translators: The text before the "|" is context to help you decide on * the correct translation. You MUST OMIT it in the translated string. */ This is misleading - If i do as described "bla|foo" becomes "|foo".
Created attachment 116965 [details] [review] Corrected Well I've seen a lot of "misleading" comments in Epiphany so.
This will be fixed after we branch 2.25 by using C_() instead of Q_(), which would have already been done if not for the intltool bug, and is a direct duplicate of bug 542658. But I don't see any harm in adding the lines for this release.
Yes Claude Paroz told me about C_(), but this is just a warning for this release to avoid mistakes. Thanks :)
I committed to trunk a fix that adds Bob's suggested translation context and a FIXME comment refering to the use of C_ () and bug #542658 too. Closing this as FIXED. 2008-08-21 Cosimo Cecchi <cosimoc@gnome.org> * src/file-manager/fm-properties-window.c: (value_field_update_internal): Add context for translators. Thanks to Bob Mauchin (#548446).
