Hi, Darkcircle Thank you for your reply. In Chinese there are not expressions like "15 分前 %1 点", "差" and "前". These are all expressions according with custom in Chinese in the right: 5 past 2 2 点 5 分 10 past 2 2 点 10 分 15 past 2 2 点 15 分 20 past 2 2 点 20 分 25 past 2 2 点 25 分 half past 2 2 点半 (2 点 30 分) 25 to 3 2 点 35 分 20 to 2 2 点 40 分 15 to 3 2 点 45 分 10 to 3 2 点 50 分 5 to 3 2 点 55 分 Regards, Chipong > 2012/4/9 Chipong Luo <chipong....@yahoo.com>: > > On Sun, 2012-04-08 at 16:52 +0200, Nick Schermer wrote: > >> On 2012-04-08 15:16, Chipong Luo wrote: > >> > Hello, Nick > >> > > >> > It is a problem in Chinese translation, maybe in other eastern > >> > languages, > >> > > >> > Suppose '%1' is 3, let's see, > >> > > >> > Source: quarter to %1 > >> > Trans: %1 点差 15 分 > >> > Display: 3 点差 15 分 > >> > > >> > But, > >> > > >> > "3 点差 15 分" doesn't meet Chinese custom, > >> > "2 点 45 分" does. > >> > > >> > I've been confirmed by Mișu it can't be translated like this, > >> > > >> > Source: quarter to %1 > >> > Trans: %0 点 45 分 > >> > Display: 2 点 45 分 > >> > > >> > It is to say, if '%1' is 3, what can I substitute '%1' to make it be > >> > displayed as 2? > >> > > >> > Could it be solved in the xfce4-panel.po? > >> > > >> > Regards, > >> > Chipong Luo > >> > >> And what about "%1点差一刻" ? > >> > >> But what I don't understand, is %0 not working? > >> > >> Nick > > > > Hi, Nick > > > > Thank you for your reply. > > > > "%1 点差一刻" is same as "%1 点差 15 分" in Chinese. > > > > If the '%1' in msgid denotes 'n', can it be calculated to 'n-1' > > automatically when I put '%0' into msgstr? > > > > Maybe the best method to resolve this problem is to show it in digital > > format instead of in words, such as '02:45' instead of 'quarter to 3'. > > > > Regards, > > Chipong > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Xfce-i18n mailing list > > Xfce-i18n@xfce.org > > https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n _______________________________________________ Xfce-i18n mailing list Xfce-i18n@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n
