The short answer is NO, a single menu item can be replaced by an existing string (such as "Production") for S2_1. Thus, it meets the requirement "frozen for new ... translation string changes now." I'll assume that I've met the requirement, and check it in without further complaint. It would help for those of you using trunk to actually test the revised city report (F1). I think you'll like it, and consider it a worthy addition to S2_1! The long answer is YES, I fixed many (about 135) translation strings. These should not be frozen! === For example, in the first (cs.po) and many others: #: client/gui-sdl/citydlg.c:2603 #, fuzzy, c-format msgid "?food:Surplus: %d" -msgstr "?Food surplus:J+" +msgstr "?food:PÅ™ebytek: %d" As you can plainly see, 18/27 files had dropped the %d, in various ways, probably the most common problem. This does not work properly (an active translator would have noticed)! How did this get missed? My guess is that some kind of mechanical process confused the two colon, msgid "?food:Surplus: %d" with the single colon (and different capitalization) earlier in the file, -msgid "?Food surplus:F+" -msgstr "?Food surplus:J+" <<<<<< As you can see, I added [short], among other changes to the format. That should help ensure translation consistency in the future: +msgid "?Food surplus [short]:+F" +msgstr "?Food surplus [short]:+J" === Another example (pt_BR.po), #: client/cityrepdata.c:441 #, fuzzy msgid "Workers: Happy" -msgstr "Operários" +msgstr "Operários: Feliz" #: client/cityrepdata.c:443 #, fuzzy msgid "Workers: Content" -msgstr "Operários" +msgstr "Operários: Contente" #: client/cityrepdata.c:445 #, fuzzy msgid "Workers: Unhappy" -msgstr "Operários" +msgstr "Operários: Descontente" As you can plainly see, 3 menu items are all translated "Workers" without the descriptor. All you see is: Operários Operários Operários Not useful! I was able to guess the descriptor from other strings. (There's a lot of redundancy in the files.) === In fact, I did a lot of that kind of thing. I started out working on my own changes, and noticed a lot of problems in lines nearby. I spent far more time fixing other folk's errors than adding this Buy column. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
