Pasting a batch of ruleset string issues reported by Sini Ruohomaa
<[email protected]> on the freeciv-i18n list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And as usual, some notes of strangenesses I ran into:
#: server/settings.c:990
msgid "Whether to have simultaneous player/team phases."
The long desc implies the option value 0 means "all move concurrently"
and 1 that movement is alternated. Since 0 is often interpreted as "no",
this setting should maybe be called the opposite, whether to *not* have
concurrency, so the "question" and "answer" would match -> "should we
alternate movement?" "yes."
#: data/default/script.lua:30
#, c-format
msgid ""
"The %s have acquired %s from ancient scrolls of "
"wisdom."
Has a *lot* of sudden spaces before wisdom. Whitespace fail or TRANS
comment in order?
#: data/nation/breton.ruleset:6
msgid ""
"Known to the Romans as Amorica, (...) peninsula a mercenaries (...)
Armorica, not Amorica, according to Wikipedia. Also, "as mercenaries".
#: data/nation/burundi.ruleset:7
msgid ""
"Lasting from 16th century, through European colonial administration,
until "
"finally overthrown in 1966, the Kingdom of Burundi was an East African
state "
"in which the King and aristocracy extracted taxes from the nation's "
"peasantry. (...)
The first sentence was a tad difficult to parse. Wikipedia explains:
- Burundi kingdom started in the 1500s
- It was feodal, the king and aristocrats extracted taxes from the
peasants
- Burundi was under colonial rule after Belgians came in, although
apparently the local rule was upkept to a degree; it gained independence
in 1962.
- The monarchy was overthrown in 1966.
#: data/nation/byzantium.ruleset:28
msgid "?female:Basileus"
The female variant in Latin is really Basilissa, according to Wikipedia.
#: data/nation/purhepecha.ruleset:7
The desc uses CA instead of AD. There seems to be some inconsistency in
year markings in general, maybe a standard should be set for the nation
texts? (I'd use the Finnish secular "jaa." everywhere if the darned
thing didn't look confusingly much like "oh."... X-))
#: data/civ2/game.ruleset:21
msgid ""
"You are playing with civ2 style rules.These are quite close to Freeciv
"
"default rules, but with some additions."
Space after first period.
#: data/civ2/units.ruleset:1946
(...) When barbarian leader is killed on (...)
#: data/default/units.ruleset:2033
(...) When a Barbarian Leader is killed on (...)
On a quick look there seems to be only this much difference between the
two ruleset help descs, maybe the civ2 one could be fixed to match the
default exactly?
Cheers,
