Hi,
Yelp has just received a large update to its searching function. This
has introduced 3 new "strings" that need translating.
These are (with the translator comments from the source):
1. A list of "Ignore words"
/* Translators: Do not translate this list exactly. These are
* colon-separated words that aren't useful for choosing search
* results; they will be different for each language. Include
* pronouns, articles, very common verbs and prepositions,
* words from question structures like "tell me about" and
* "how do I", and words for functional states like "not",
* "work", and "broken".
*/
2. A list of common prefixes
/* Translators: This is a list of common prefixes for words.
* Do not translate this directly. Instead, use a colon
* separated list of word-starts. In English, an example
* is re-. If there is none, please use the term NULL
* If there is only one, please put a colon after.
* E.g. if the common prefix is re then the string would be
* "re:"
*/
3. A list of common suffixes
/* Translators: This is a list of (guess what?) common suffixes
* to words. Things that may be put at ends of words to slightly
* alter their meaning (like -ing and -s in English). This is a
* colon separated list (I like colons). If there are none,
* please use the string NULL. If there is only 1, please
* add a colon at the end of the list
*/
Sorry for the pain this will cause. Any questions, please feel free to
ask me.
Thanks
Don
