Inconsistent strftime translations in Evolution & Evolution-Data-Server
Last modified: 2010-09-01 15:19:16 UTC
First paste is from Evolution, second one is from Evolution-Data-Server: #. strftime format of a weekday, a date and a time, 12-hour. #: ../calendar/gui/e-cell-date-edit-text.c:112 msgid "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" msgstr "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" #. strptime format of a weekday, a date and a time, #. in 12-hour format. #. strftime format of a weekday, a date and a #. time, in 12-hour format. #: ../libedataserver/e-time-utils.c:1644 ../libedataserver/e-time-utils.c:1911 msgid "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" msgstr "%a %d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"
Comments were confusing. Indonesia uses 24-hour time format. But if package 'require' (?) a 12-hour format, should we let it as is, or translate into 24-hour format?
Example in French: $ grep -A1 "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" evolution*/po/fr.po evolution-data-server/po/fr.po:msgid "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" evolution-data-server/po/fr.po-msgstr "%a %d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" -- evolution/po/fr.po:msgid "%a %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" evolution/po/fr.po-msgstr "%a %d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p" So we let the 12-hour format. Even if most if not all French countries are using the 24-hour format, a user might still want to use 12-hour format for personal preferences.
fix commited, thanks
