Description Jorge González 2011-09-05 10:38:58 UTC
I need to know what are hpaned and vpaned in the GUI in order to provide a proper translation:

#: ../org.a11y.Accerciser.gschema.xml.in.h:16
msgid "The hpaned value for the main window."

#: ../org.a11y.Accerciser.gschema.xml.in.h:22
msgid "The vpaned value for the main window."

#: ../org.a11y.Accerciser.gschema.xml.in.h:31
msgid "hpaned value"

#: ../org.a11y.Accerciser.gschema.xml.in.h:32
msgid "vpaned value"

Thank you very much.

h = horizontal
v = vertical

Hi all!

Well, Jorge, here I have a question for you.
I can change the translatable string like this:
The hpaned value for the main window -> The horizontal paned value for the main window

Do you think that is clear enough if I make this change or it will be still necessary an explanation for translators?

André, thanks for the URL!

Best regards!

Well, I still don't get what is a "horizontal paned value", is it a size? the horizontal size of the pane (in pixels)?

Thanks.

Ok, now I know from where the problem comes.

As a gtk developer, I assumed that all people knows what a 'hpaned' [1] is, but that's not true. This strings will be seen by non-gtkdevelopers and they don't have to know what a 'hpaned' is. So, sorry about this.

I've attached another patch, I hope these strings will be more appropiate for a user.

Thanks again for your attention and best regards!

Agreed.

Many thanks Javier, now I think it's fully understandable for non developers.

Cheers!

Perfect!!

Since we're in the string freeze, I'll ask for permission for to see if we can apply this change, if we can't get the approval, this change will be included in 3.2.x series.


Best regards!
