Description Christian Rose 2004-05-09 14:10:33 UTC

#. please use the UTF-8 copyright symbol in your translation ..
#: src/About.cs:61
msgid "Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 Jorn Baayen"

I see no reason for this message to be marked for translation. If the name needs
translation, it can be done using a %s here (as long as a comment explains that)
and translated elsewhere.

This should probably just be unmarked for translation, and then the (C) changed
into a proper copyright sign, ©, in the source. The term "Copyright" and the "©"
symbol have legal implications and should hence most likely not be marked for
translation (see bug 45297 for a discussion about legalese).

Similar thing here, the Serbian translation does translate this stuff:

msgid "Copyright © 2003, 2004 Jorn Baayen"
msgstr "&#1057;&#1074;&#1072; &#1087;&#1088;&#1072;&#1074;&#1072; &#1079;&#1072;&#1076;&#1088;&#1078;&#1072;&#1085;&#1072; © 2003, 2004 &#1032;&#1086;&#1088;&#1085; &#1041;&#1072;&#1112;&#1077;&#1085; (Jorn Baayen)"

I did however put the UTF-8 copyright symbol in the source now.

Comment 2 Danilo Segan 2004-05-10 17:07:16 UTC

Just to add another tip here: extracting strings from C# requires GNU gettext
0.14 or later, and such a recent gettext supports UTF-8 (GNU gettext 0.12 is the
earliest) in source code: so, no problem with using proper copyright symbol here
(Christian was probably describing the way to work-around limits of older
gettextes, but they're not needed since C# requires more recent one anyway).

Comment 3 Jorn Baayen 2004-05-10 17:34:02 UTC

(C) changed to © and message left marked for translation.
