Description André Klapper 2006-01-03 12:21:57 UTC
please add translator comments to the following strings. be aware of the fact that not all languages use subject-verb-object positioning.
also note that "first" can mean "dritter", "dritte" or "drittes" in german - it depends on the noun which follows, so please provide that information!

"on" can also mean "am", "bei", "auf" and many other words in german.

you cannot expect that every translator has time to take a look into the evolution code.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-05-11 18:43:49 UTC
sigh... yes. it's currently wrong in the german translation of evo 2.6. perhaps this needs gettext context instead of translation comments, don't know.

Translation comments for all the strings existed,except "day".
I have added translation comment fr the same.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-08-24 14:07:57 UTC
guess it's okay, until gnome provides a framework where each language can change the order of dropdown menus... :-/
