If I get you right, you'd like to know what is the difference between using this context (or disambiguation prefixes) and plural functions. The main difference is dynamic UI updates. With plurals you need to update labels around the inputs on every change of spinbox or combobox. Even if that updates exists (now it seems to be a static label, that is set in .glade file) plurals still have problems, because correct "Every" translation depends on the frequency type. If we use only context, then for almost every value in input translation can fit well (exception can be singular form). But it would surely be more correct then now. So the ideal situation is a context to differentiate types + dynamic labels to format correct plural forms. But I'm afraid it would take a lot of work + editing "controlling" code, not just glade xml. I'm ready to edit xml file and provide a patch, but not ready to dig in c code to add dynamic labels.
As for minimum Gtk version. I think it is 2.18, but not sure. That info i found here (https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.37/glib-I18N.html#C-:CAPS, see "since" section for functions). Locally I test on ubuntu with the following installed package: libgtk2.0-dev ver. 2.24.10-0ubuntu6. gettext version is 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 Pot file is generated well: #: ../src/gnome-utils/gtkbuilder/gnc-frequency.glade.h:7 msgctxt "Daily" msgid "Every" msgstr "" I tried to add this to ru.po. Translated, make && make install, works fine. 2014-04-13 19:07 GMT+04:00 John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us>: > > On Apr 13, 2014, at 2:16 AM, Dmitry Pavlov <zeldi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I've found that to implement minimum solution, we can just add > > context="..." to glade translated labels. like this > > <property name="label" translatable="yes" > context="Daily">Every</property> > > > > This utilizes context lookup feature in gettext, instead of > disambiguation > > prefixes, but it seems working just fine. > > > > does anyone mind about such change? > > > > Sounds good, how does it compare with using the plurals function? > > Is there a mimimum Gtk version required? > > Regards, > John Ralls > -- С уважением, Дмитрий Павлов _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
