patched czech translation of gpm (69.37 KB, patch)
2008-02-23 09:51 UTC, Pavel Šefránek 		committed Details | Review

Description Stanislav Brabec 2006-07-20 19:31:05 UTC 
Incorrect translation
Application: gnome-power-manager

Incorrect text:
Charging status message is a sequence of words withou understandable meaning in Czech: "Baterie laptopu 14 minut dokud nedobito (85%)"

Should be:
Not sure. Probably "Zbývá 14 minut do plného nabití baterií laptopu (" "nyní nabito" or "zbývá nabít" " 85%)".
Comment 1 Jakub Friedl 2006-07-21 10:09:11 UTC 
Thanks for the report.

The problem here is that the string is not a single string, but it is concatenated from "Laptop battery", "%i minute", and "until charged". This makes the translation little bit tricky. The problem will probably occur in other combinations too. 

I will look deeper into it but I am afraid that changing the original string and the way it is generated will be necessary.
Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2006-07-24 09:41:26 UTC 
Then it is a I18N support programming bug and should be fixed in a program code. Translating sentence in parts and expecting, that all languages have English syntax, is a bad practice.

Comment 3 Stanislav Brabec 2006-07-25 15:37:27 UTC 
It seems, that another message is affected by the same problem:
"Baterie laptopu 2 hodiny, 15 minut zbývající (68%)"
Comment 4 Jakub Friedl 2006-08-08 11:49:28 UTC 
Filled a bug asking for providing whole sentences.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2008-02-07 20:47:56 UTC 
so can this be closed as fixed now that bug 350415 has been fixed?
Comment 6 Pavel Šefránek 2008-02-19 17:58:01 UTC 
Překládám gnome-power-manager, podívám se na to.
Comment 7 Lucas Lommer 2008-02-23 01:41:56 UTC 
cs_CZ: Hm, v SVN je prelozeno 100% ale me se zda, ze chyba pretrvava, opravoval si to?

en_US: Hm, there's 100% of czech translation done in SVN but I think this "bug" is still present, did you fix that?
Comment 8 Pavel Šefránek 2008-02-23 02:04:21 UTC 
Neopravoval, překlad jsem posílal někdy před dvěma týdny, kdy jsem o této chybě ještě nevěděl.

Can the bug be closed now?
Comment 11 Stanislav Brabec 2008-02-25 11:22:53 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 12 Petr Kovar 2008-02-25 15:49:36 UTC 
That was a clear and plain answer, so finally closing the bug.
