If the extraction tool extracts the outer elements, you'd probably not allowed the change those, but it could be ok to change the inline elements. That's the forth possibility. Otherwise you are right. > Examples: > > #, xml-structure > msgid "<placeholder-1/> -- switch off APM completely" > > #, flat-xml-structure > msgid "<em>apm=off</em> -- switch off APM completely" > > Would that be something useful? Concerning xml2po generated pot files that would be a fatal error.

The xml2po maintainer would have to implement such a mechanism. But I think it is not able to solve the placeholder-X issue. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] "Forked" kde4 networkmanager translations
by Martin Schlander 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Like in 11.0 with packagekit we again have our own versions of translations for things, that should usually be translated upstream. This time it's * kcm_knetworkmanager * plasma-applet_networkmanager Like with packagekit it makes some sense to have our own translations as it's very new stuff with hardly any translations upstream - and at the same time it's stuff that's right in the face of users. But it's still unfortunate due to the risk of duplicate effort and different translations for the same software which can create somewhat of a support nightmare. Therefore I suggest to check for existing translations in your language for these two applications here, to merge with the openSUSE POs to potentially save some work. http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/package/playground-base/ And to make a little effort to send your translations to the KDE coordinator for your language when you're done translating, to minimize duplicate work. Find information about your upstream KDE translation team here: http://l10n.kde.org/teams-list.php Or go to 'Help -> About <application> -> Translation' in a random KDE app. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

See subject. Is it capital letter or something else? I don't have any context. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org
