Description Hendrik Richter 2010-08-04 15:54:11 UTC
In src/Core/Banshee.ThickClient/Banshee.Equalizer.Gui/EqualizerView.cs the units (dB, Hz, kHz) and the word "Preamp" are not marked for translation.

Looking at for example the Russian Wikipedia it seems that there are languages which translate the units.
Comment 1 Bertrand Lorentz 2010-08-04 16:55:35 UTC
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.
Comment 2 Gabriel Burt 2010-08-10 17:02:09 UTC
I wonder if we need to mark these for plural translation.  CC'ing the i18n team.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2010-08-10 17:11:37 UTC
So what is the exact question? Where are plurals involved here?
Comment 4 Gabriel Burt 2010-08-10 17:21:57 UTC
We have strings like this:

Catalog.GetString ("+{0} dB"), db);
Catalog.GetString ("{0} Hz"), frequencies[i]

Where we're passing in numbers -- the decibels and frequency in Hz.  I have no clue if there are languages that would need pluralization support in these cases.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2010-08-10 20:39:10 UTC
To me, db and Hz are the same category as €, $, m (meter), ms (millisecond) or kg (kilogram), which don't have a plural.
Comment 6 Johannes Schmid 2010-08-10 20:42:32 UTC
I would in general refer to the SI-units and signs, which are dB and Hz. Anyway FYI, the russian wikipedia page contains a table with the SI and another version:

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%86_%28%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0_%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F%29

(wonder if that links works in the end...)

Removing i18n from CC to void spamming the list.

As far as Polish goes, they usually aren't „pluralized”
