Yes, this is a problem with Swedish and many other languages as well. The one solution that I've seen is using gettext contexts, but I have never worked with them, and all I know is that the name says it all. So, for the time being, I translated it to the "report" kind of "flag", because that's the only use so far. > Then a solution could be to change flag.html:12 "Flag" to "FLAGAS" or > something like that, but that would mean that conf/locale/en should be > updated at least to include this msgid !
