I know, but I can't do much about it. There's a comment in generate_template.sh explaining that, but (as commented on IRC), I haven't been able to propagate it to messages.pot using -c=\; ; This string is appended to "second", "minute" or "hour" to make plurals. ; I know it's quite unfortunate. An alternate method for translating NSISdl ; has been proposed [1] but in the meantime we'll have to cope with this. ; [1] http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1656076&group_id=22049&atid=373087 > I would suggest you not NOT use "second", "minute" and "hour" but > rather abreviations, which saves you the nightmare of plurals. Can you do that already in your translation ? I'm not sure if it's possible to translate the "s" string as an empty string. > Working on a first French translation, I also went on some wording > issues such as : > > -not use exclamation marks Ok, removed. > -not use "you *have*" that many space on hard disk....use neutral > wordign such as "there is...." I reworded one of these. The other "you" look fine, but let me know if some of them can be improved. Also, I'm not sure how to rephrase it in this context: "it is recommended that you have ..."
