Dyre Tjeldvoll commented on DERBY-3375:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for the feedback, Myrna and Knut.

Knut> Regarding the select tablename example in message 42818, would it be 
clearer to use all upper case for the SQL keywords? 

Most definitely +1 to this one. I must admit I did not understand what the 
problem was when I read your first comment. At first I thought the problem was 
that the English version had been changed on trunk so that it no longer matched 
the 10.3 version which was sent to the translators. But I could not understand 
it because I checked, rather diligently in my opinion, that there weren't any 
changes on trunk that could be over-written by the translations (I actually 
applied the new translations to the revision in which the 10.3 branch was 
created and then updated to the HEAD revision. The only problem was that  J131 
had been commented out which conflicted with the translated version of that 
message. (I resolved that manually in the patch). I don't really blame the 
translators for not recognizing that the whole sentence is an sql query since 
only parts of it is capitalized.

Knut> I'm not sure I have used the correct gender for 'Upgrade'. Most places in 
the existing messages it is treated as neuter, but at least one place it is 
treated as masculine.

I seem to have a vague recollection from my high-school German class that Nouns 
ending with 'e' usually were feminine. But I also seem to remember something 
about the such rules not applying to imported foreign Nouns. According to 
http://woerterbuch.reverso.net/deutsch-englisch/Upgrade  the gender of 
'upgrade' is neuter. Which in turn means we probably should correct the places 
where it is treated as masculine.
