First feedback/question: is it possible to ask developers to use complete sentences and/or to add more comments into po files?
Sure, it is. Incomplete phrases are not allowed. If you do not know, which developer is working on the tool, please use bugzilla to report bad strings.
For instance, from yast/po/yast2-gtk.it.po: #: src/YGPackageSelector.cc:3299 msgid "" "Failed to create dependency resolver test case.\n" "Please check disk space and permissions for" msgstr "" ...
What is the string that follows "permission for"? the name of a file? of a directory? something else? Translation sometimes depends also on such string, especially when target language distinguishes the genre of words.
In this case, you probably should have added a comment and variable to turn the phrase in a complete sentence: msgid "" "Failed to create dependency resolver test case.\n" "Please check disk space and permissions for %1." -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
