Description David Planella 2010-08-19 16:55:50 UTC
Looking at

http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/tree/src/brasero-rename.c#n338

and

http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/tree/src/brasero-rename.c#n353

There is a translatable sentence there that is split into parts.

That actually makes it impossible to translate correctly in some languages. 

Please consider rewriting the sentence so it is translator-friendly. Thanks!

Some more background:

http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Never%20split%20sentences

(From the downstream bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/530279:)

In dutch the word for insert must be split for certain sentences. In the case of the two strings shown below the "in" part of "invoegen" has to go to the end of the sentence, which is another string in brasero.

When people see either of these strings independently in LP they will think an error was made an "fix" it.

If it would be possible to change this to something linke "Insert %s at the end" that would be great.

Link to where I found the two strings + location in sourcecode:

Insert
 Developer note: Translators: This is a verb. This is completed later

at the end
 Developer note: Translators: This finishes previous action "Insert". It goes like * this: "Insert" [Entry] "at the end".
