Incorrect translation Application: glib Incorrect text: Hi. I'm a member of pt_BR translation team and was translating the glib package when I saw these strings below: #. Translators: This is an error #. * message for drive objects that #. * don't implement any of eject or eject_with_operation. #: ../gio/gdrive.c:489 msgid "drive doesn't implement eject or eject_with_operation" msgstr "unidade não implementa eject ou eject_with_operation" #. Translators: This is an error #. * message for mount objects that #. * don't implement any of unmount or unmount_with_operation. #: ../gio/gmount.c:537 msgid "mount doesn't implement unmount or unmount_with_operation" msgstr "objeto de montagem não implementa desmontar ou unmount_with_operation" #. Translators: This is an error #. * message for mount objects that #. * don't implement any of eject or eject_with_operation. #: ../gio/gmount.c:624 msgid "mount doesn't implement eject or eject_with_operation" msgstr "objeto de montagem não implementa ejetar ou eject_with_operation" #. Translators: This is an error #. * message for volume objects that #. * don't implement any of eject or eject_with_operation. #: ../gio/gvolume.c:531 msgid "volume doesn't implement eject or eject_with_operation" msgstr "volume não implementa ejetar ou eject_with_operation" The question regarding them is: Are there any way of clarifying the "*_with_operation" strings, changing it to other words or these messages are not intended to the end users? In hope to building a better GNOME for everyone. Thanks for the attention. Henrique P. Machado Should be:
PS: Just for consistency and better workflow, our Teamleader told me to left a message on D-L, freezing the translation of this package for our language until we get this bug report solved, OK? Once more. Thanks a lot.
glib issue, nothing to do with L10N -> moving
It seems that this values are to be kept the same in the translation. Developers, please check if it's true, and use double quotes if appropriate. Id these terms (eject_with_operation etc) are to be trasnlated, please add comments clarifying them.
Created attachment 140741 [details] [review] Added quotes around literal values
Yes, please do this! The last time I used meta tracker (some 6.x version), there was no way to do a literal search on an multi-string expression like "search this!". It makes it not particularly useful for a lot of people, I imagine.
Review of attachment 140741 [details] [review]: i'd like to commit this patch (modified, of course). is there any reason not to? ::: gio/gmount.c @@ +711,3 @@ * message for mount objects that * don't implement remount. */ + _("mount doesn't implement \""remount")); this is a syntax error
ryan: Looks good to commit to me.
