Hi all,
I'm translating into Italian the lnc/po/update-desktop-files-kde.it.po file. Watching the changes between my last version (39512) and the svn head (41534), besides the fuzzy and untranslated strings, I've discovered a lot of new/modified translated strings with errors or strange behaviors.
In fact, I've found mainly these problems: - some strings are translated into different strings even if they are relative to the same msgid of the same file - some new and modified strings contain grammar mistakes or do not match the singular/plural of msgid (while original translations was right) - some translated strings are replaced with untranslated ones - some translated strings are replaced with wrong ones - some modified strings seems to be replaced by strings generated by an automatic translator - some modified strings contain words that do not exists in Italian - some modified strings do not follow standard Italian translations (see http://en.opensuse.org/Translation-it#Elenco_delle_parole_di_uso_comune_e_lo... ) - some modified strings contain fuzzy words or now they are ambiguous
Are the above problems specific for Italian translation or they occurred also for other languages? And only in update-desktop-files-kde.it.po file or also in other update-desktop-* files (I've not checked them because they are not assigned to me)?
Another thing: what is the better thing to do now? Check the whole file looking for strange/wrong strings (because problems are inside the "translated" strings, and they are a lot) or only the strings changed by last commits? This because there is few time to correct the above problems before the next packaging...

Hi, probably it occurs in all languages as some new strings are translated automaticaly based on a translation memory ([0] and [1]) and these memory could have some errors (thinks that are not in the standard your team define, etc) regards, Luiz [0] https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/trunk/lcn/50-memory/ [1] https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/trunk/yast/50-memory/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
