tags 475802 + patch
thanks
Hi,
This is a (trial) patch to alert translators to usage of non-ASCII
characters in confirmation messages. Could you please review and
apply it with "hg import" if it's good?
The changelog is as follows (and available in the patch):
[[[
Alert translators to usage of non-ASCII characters in confirmation
messages. (Closes: #475802)
Since users (especially CJK users) should be able to input confirmation
messages without input methods, translations of those messages should
include nothing but ASCII characters. This trial patch inserts comments
to alert translators to such cases. Also, this patch changes a
confirmation message "Yes" and "No" to "YES" and "NO" respectively so
that they differ from menu dialog messages "Yes" and "No".
]]]
This patch may be for lenny+1, not lenny, since it changes a message.
Also, the message change will result in unlocalized "Yes" and "No"
dialog messages since they are marked for translation in cwidget but
that library does not have real po/mo files.
Many thanks,
-nori
