Translation issues
Last modified: 2010-04-21 23:36:46 UTC
Quick review of the rygel.pot file: #: ../data/rygel-preferences.ui.h:1 msgid "<b>Network Options</b>" Please avoid using markup if possible. See "Avoid markup wherever possible" under http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines #: ../data/rygel-preferences.ui.h:11 msgid "T_racker" A bit unclear what it means in this context. See http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-plugin.vala:33 #: ../src/plugins/tracker/rygel-tracker-plugin.vala:33 msgid "@REALNAME@'s media" Please add a comment what @REALNAME@ is and that it should not be translated. See http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-query-container.vala:47 msgid "Id does not contain pairs" #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-query-container.vala:54 msgid "Empty part not allowed in virtual id" #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-root-container.vala:346 #, c-format msgid "%s is not a valid virtual id" #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-root-container.vala:373 #, c-format msgid "Id %s no longer in config, deleting..." #: ../src/rygel/rygel-media-db.vala:292 ../src/rygel/rygel-media-db.vala:318 #, c-format msgid "Failed to add item with id %s: %s" Id should be ID. #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-query-container.vala:118 #, c-format msgid "We have %u children" This needs ngettext support. See http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals #: ../src/plugins/media-export/rygel-media-export-root-container.vala:97 #, c-format msgid "Failed to remove uri: %s" uri should be URI, as before. #: ../src/plugins/mediathek/rygel-mediathek-asx-playlist.vala:94 msgid "Could not received XML" Typo? "receive"? #: ../src/plugins/mediathek/rygel-mediathek-video-item.vala:64 msgid "group node has url property" url should be URL #: ../src/plugins/tracker/rygel-tracker-category-all-container.vala:38 #, c-format msgid "Failed to contstruct URI for directory '%s': %s" Typo: contstruct -> construct #: ../src/plugins/tracker/rygel-tracker-item-creation.vala:77 #: ../src/rygel/rygel-media-container.vala:180 #, c-format msgid "Object creation in %s no allowed" no -> not ? #: ../src/plugins/tracker/rygel-tracker-metadata-values.vala:75 #, c-format msgid "Failed to create to Session bus: %s" The "to" is confusing here. If it is correct maybe at a translation comment. #: ../src/rygel/rygel-browse.vala:120 msgid "Invalid Args" "Arguments" for the sake of less confused translators? :) #: ../src/rygel/rygel-database.vala:217 #, c-format msgid "Failed to rollback transaction: %s" If it's a verb it should be "roll back"? #: ../src/rygel/rygel-live-response.vala:83 msgid "Plugin 'fakesink' missing" Worth to mention in a comment that fakesink should not be translated. #: ../src/rygel/rygel-media-db.vala:452 #, c-format msgid "Orignal search: %s" Typo: Orignal #: ../src/rygel/rygel-metadata-extractor.vala:116 msgid "Could not find any playbin. " Please remove the whitespace at the end. #: ../src/rygel/rygel-root-device-factory.vala:102 msgid "Element /root/device not found." #: ../src/rygel/rygel-root-device-factory.vala:135 msgid "Element /root/device/friendlyName not found." #: ../src/rygel/rygel-root-device-factory.vala:156 msgid "Element /root/device/UDN not found." #: ../src/rygel/rygel-root-device-factory.vala:175 msgid "Element /root/device/modelDescription not found." #: ../src/rygel/rygel-root-device-factory.vala:189 msgid "Element /root/device/serviceList not found." Can these be turned into "Element %s not found." ? #: ../src/rygel/rygel-seekable-response.vala:86 #, c-format msgid "Failed to seek to %s-%s on URI %s: %s" Translation of "to" depends on what %s-%s is. Please add a translator comment. #: ../src/rygel/rygel-user-config.vala:344 #, c-format msgid "Failed to %s Rygel service: %s" Untranslatable without knowing what the first %s is. Please add a translator comment. In general: http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Terminology/RoughList states that "folder" is prefered to "directory/directories".
Most issues now fixed in git master. > #: ../data/rygel-preferences.ui.h:1 > msgid "<b>Network Options</b>" > Please avoid using markup if possible. See "Avoid markup wherever possible" > under http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines That section seems to explain how to avoid this in source and if that was the case, it wouldn't be an issue to fix this. Unfortunately this is in the glade ui xml file and I don't see a way to mark only part of the string for translation.
Maybe use PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD? See for example https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591495#c3 (and feel free to update the wiki) :-P If that's overkill, just ignore this one.
