Hi I tried to add a translator comment as documented in https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments but the comment does not show up in the po file after using intltool-update. Patch attached. Any thoughts? #: ../src/org.gnome.Terminal.gschema.xml.h:1 msgctxt "visible-name" msgid "'Unnamed'" msgstr "'Unbenannt'" Am Dienstag, den 23.09.2014, 20:31 +0200 schrieb Christian Persch:
Hi;
gnome-terminal contains a gsettings schema with a value that allows
localising the default:
#: ../src/org.gnome.Terminal.gschema.xml.h:1
msgctxt "visible-name"
msgid "'Unnamed'"
msgstr ""
Here, the single-quotes around the string are essential, and *must* be
reproduced in the translated string, since this value will be parsed
as a GVariant of type "s" (string).
However, I've found out that many translations of this (msgctxt, msgid)
are using locale-specific quotes here, e.g.:
ca.po:msgctxt "visible-name"
ca.po-msgid "'Unnamed'"
ca.po-msgstr "«Sense nom»"
This will *not* work as intended, since parsing will fail and thus the
untranslated default value will be used (and a warning printed on
console).
At least the following translations are affected (but everyone else is
invited to double-check theirs too):
bg, ca, ca valencia, de, es, fr, gl, hu, ko, lt, lv, nb, ne, nl, sk,
sr, sr latin, te, zh_CN, zh_HK, zh_TW
Note that the same problem may also exist in other modules that use
translatable default values, but I didn't check for that.
Regards,
Christian
