GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 312028
Errors in the Tiny-Fu .po file
Last modified: 2006-05-23 03:46:37 UTC
Version details: Gnome HEAD 1. #: scripts/coffee.sct.h:2 msgid "" "Darken only\n" "(Better, but only for images with alot of white)" " a lot" 2. #: scripts/fade-outline.sct.h:6 #, no-c-format msgid "Fade from %" #: scripts/fade-outline.sct.h:8 #, no-c-format msgid "Fade to %" One of these has spaces before the % sign, and the other doesn't. Is this correct? 3. #: scripts/glossy.sct.h:4 msgid "Blend gradient (Text)" #: scripts/glossy.sct.h:6 msgid "Blend gradient (text)" Do we really need both of these? if so, what is the difference between them? 4. Two more very similar strings: do we need them both? #: scripts/gradient-bevel-logo.sct.h:4 msgid "Bevel height (Sharpness)" #: scripts/gradient-bevel-logo.sct.h:5 msgid "Bevel height (sharpness)" 5. It would be better to choose only one of these spellings: #: scripts/select-to-brush.sct.h:3 msgid "File name" #: scripts/select-to-pattern.sct.h:2 msgid "Filename" from Clytie
Item 1: I have updated the coffee.sct file to use "a lot" instead of "alot" and updated the translation files accordingly. Item 2: The script creator apparently intended to have the % characters line up which requires the extra spaces. Since that won't work in some language translations I wouldn't worry about the extra spaces in the second string. Items 3 and 4: The only difference between the strings is an inconsistency in capitalization. For now, I'm inclined to use all lower-case letters inside the bracketed portion unless the HIG says otherwise. Item 5: Another bit of inconsistency. One form or the other needs to be chosen and all scripts should use that form. For the record, the problems mentioned in the report also affect Script-Fu.
Items 2 through 5 will affect quite a few scripts. To give the translators a chance to get the translation files up-to-date for the 1.0 release I'm placing this on the 1.2 milestone.
Translation files have not been updated but the script files have been changed. 2006-05-22 Kevin Cozens <kcozens@cvs.gnome.org> * scripts/glossy.sct * scripts/gradient-bevel-logo.sct * scripts/select-to-pattern.sct: Minor capitalization changes to some strings. Addresses bug #312028.
