[Bug 307220] New: Wrong variable in YaST user management
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307220#c546 Summary: Wrong variable in YaST user management Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kkemenczy@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- In the user.po fájl, the message #546 has a wrong variable association. %1 should refers to the "Finished" button, but it looks like it refers to another one. In the Hungarian translation not all "Finished" translated to the same word. In that case the help has a different button name.

Does this mean, you must translate #. button label (without shortcut sign) #: src/widgets.ycp:1003 msgid "Finish" as msgstr "Kész" because this is what gets pulled in automatically from "base"? But then I do not understand why we do not use the button label literally.

In fact, we have the very same problem in every YaST module. In order to unify, we have the button labels in base.po, but the helps differ. In this case, the button is as a standalone text and inserted into the help message, in other cases it is a part of the help texts. The only solution which would work in this regard is a functionality to remove the shortcut mark. Then we would be sure to use always the same translation, but otherwise I do not see any way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Than we can use variables also at these places. But of course, translator could translate differently those 2 texts ("Finish" vs "&Finish") even if both would be in the same file...

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the shortcut mark from the button labels to use the string only once (it's problematic eg. for CJK languages). This is something translators must handle.

In some modules it is possible to reuse button texts within the help texts. The problem is to find a way to eliminate the shortcut denominators such as "&Ok" or "&Cancel" (note the ampersand).
It is not that difficult with languages based on latin characters (French, Czech, Dutch, etc.). But for Asian and other script based languages we must work out special routines. Please, describe how you use shortcuts in your language; if you do it the English way, there is no need to send an e-mail, but if you use something such as follows (ja):
#. Button label #: library/modules/Label.ycp:57 msgid "&No" msgstr "いいえ (&N)"
tell me about it.
for Punjabi, we are using like above, (keep shortcut in English with () ). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
