i18n - Consistency of abbreviating identifier/identification as ID
Last modified: 2012-08-15 12:43:53 UTC
goffice should adopt a standard capitalization of the ID abbreviation. Note the first line if the PO file is: ../goffice/app/file.c:473 ID whereas there are inconsistent abbreviations thereafter in the PO file. Even though these may refer to different types of ID, consistency in the abbreviation of ID would be desirable and the type of ID being referenced is implied by the context of the string. Lower case "id" is a concept from Freudian psychology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id,_ego_and_super-ego ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:360 File contains plugin info with invalid id (%s), expected %s. ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:858 Errors while reading services for plugin with id="%s". ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:870 Plugin id contains invalid characters (%s). ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:878 No loader defined or loader id invalid for plugin with id="%s". ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:884 Plugin has no id. ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:980 Couldn't activate plugin with id="%s". ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:986 ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:1164 Couldn't find plugin with id="%s". ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:1158 Couldn't load plugin with id="%s". ../goffice/graph/gog-axis-line.c:704 Cross axis id These are ok: ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:1480 Couldn't activate plugin "%s" (ID: %s). ../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:1515 Couldn't deactivate plugin "%s" (ID: %s). ../goffice/graph/gog-object.c:679 Object ID ../goffice/graph/gog-object.c:680 Object numerical ID
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.
