Description Fabricio Godoy 2008-09-23 00:39:48 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The following messages has unclear meaning:

#: ../src/workbook-view.c:355
#, c-format
msgid "%dC"

#: ../src/workbook-view.c:357
#, c-format
msgid "%dR"

#: ../src/workbook-view.c:359
#, c-format
msgid "%dR x %dC"

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:
I don't know how make a good translation of these messages.

Expected results:
I expect a comment explaining the meaning of these messages.

Does this happen every time?

Hmm, I wouldn't have thought there is anything unclear about this in a spreadsheet program that deals with rows and columns.
Comment 2 Fabricio Godoy 2008-09-23 01:34:38 UTC 
This should be explained to avoid incorrect translations.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2008-09-23 21:01:56 UTC 
Andreas: while true, we should probably not expect translators to be spreadsheet guys.

For now...

msgid "%dC"
msgid "%dR"
msgid "%dR x %dC"

These describe the size of areas: so and so many columns, rows, or
rows-by-columns.

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.
