Description Jochen Skulj 2008-09-10 18:06:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The msgid

#: ../baobab/src/baobab-remote-connect-dialog.c:491
msgid "_Share:"
msgstr "_Freigabe:"

is difficult to translate since translators cannot decide whether »share« is used as a verb or a noun. Please provide a translator comment

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2.

Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Fabio Marzocca 2008-09-11 13:23:34 UTC 
This is the same dialog as nautilus-connect-server, so strings are the same and should keep the same meaning.
Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2008-09-11 14:12:48 UTC 
Fabio: exactly - so you should add a comment on top of the string, like:

  /* Translators: this is the same string used by the nautilus-connect-server
   * so it should be translated the same way
   */

gettext will pick the comment up and put it inside the .pot file for the translators to use as a context.

I did add the comment for translators to the code.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2008-10-16 15:19:48 UTC 
So if it's fixed, feel free to close as FIXED. That's how bug reports work. ;-)
Comment 6 Fabio Marzocca 2008-10-16 15:24:22 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
