Hello, everyone.
I've got enough bug-fixes and new features into the aptitude source
tree that I think it's time for a new release. This includes:
Could you, please, include also the attached updated Romanian translation in
the upload?
Also, addressing the comments marked with XXX and written in english
(extracted here, for your convenience)?
(Note: if you will do no changes related to the comments, is ok, but if
you chaneg stuff, I would appreciate a heads up so I can update the
translation).
0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/usr/traduceri/po/aptitude/po $ grep XXX -A 5 ro.po
# XXX: is 'y' translatable?
#: src/cmdline/cmdline_prompt.cc:732
#, c-format
msgid "y: %F"
msgstr "y: %F"
I don't think "y" is translatable here. Perhaps it should be, but
doing so is a bit awkward because this isn't just a yes/no prompt.
How about other places where indeed there is a prompt? Are there such cases? Is aptitude able to do
this sort of things?
# XXX: intentionally made aptitude less independent
# XXX: does "I want to resolve" here means "aptitude is configured to resolve"
or
# does it mean "aptitude would resolve, if you'd configured it to,"?
#: src/cmdline/cmdline_resolver.cc:512
msgid "I want to resolve dependencies, but no dependency resolver was created."
msgstr ""
"Aptitude „vrea” să rezolve dependențele, dar nu s-a creat nici un rezolvator "
It means "OMG, Daniel screwed up and something 'impossible' happened!"
I've been moving away from flagging these "internal errors" for
translation since there's not usually anything the translators can do
with them -- but for now you could just add the equivalent of "internal
error" at the front of your translation.
I see, so I don't really have to worry that much about it.
The menu entries should perhaps be split, as you note, but I'm not
sure I want to do that and break all the languages that have translated
them already (those are pretty old strings).
How about splitting and unfuzzying them automatically? I know it might be tricky, but it should be
fairly simple, just prepend the context to the msgstr if there is a valid translation (no fuzzy).
(No, msguntypot is not able to do this task, it even has a bug that makes it
drop plural forms [1]).
BTW, would you prefer I publish my aptitude repo and pull from there (of
course, given that I don't mess up the history - will probably need to
clone again since I already have 2 or three merges).
OK, for now, please use the file I already sent. Next time, I'll point you to
the repo :-) .
