Bug ID: 510934
Summary: Wrong translations in KIO GDrive (misleading +
mismatched with the official Polish translations
thereof)
Classification: Translations
Product: i18n
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: pl

SUMMARY
KIO GDrive is a plugin that attaches Google Drive stuff into Dolphin. Google
Drive is an existing separate primary product, with its own official
translation that's known to its users. The KDE translation, just like English
original, needs 1:1 matching with the original product, to avoid user
confusion.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add Google account to KAccounts and mount a Google drive with KIO GDrive
2. Open it
3. See confusingly named folders in its root
OBSERVED RESULT
"Shared Drives" → "Współdzielone urządzenia"
"Shared With Me" → "Udostępnione mi"
"Can't delete Shared Drives root." → "Nie można usunąć katalogu głównego
współdzielonych urządzeń."
"Upload to folder:" → "Wyślij do katalogu:"
EXPECTED RESULT
"Shared Drives" → "Dyski współdzielone" (!!! – don't be tempted to swap the
order of words, as the eyes will look for a folder name starting with "Dyski")
"Shared With Me" → "Udostępnione dla mnie" (maybe it sounds like Podlasie
dialect, but that's the string they use, so that's what the user will look for)
"Can't delete Shared Drives root." → "Nie można usunąć katalogu głównego dysków
współdzielonych."
"Upload to folder:" → "Wyślij do folderu:" (this one is a bit 50/50, Plasma
consistently uses "katalog", but we are uploading to "folder" in the
destination and its UI quite evidently on the other hand; but this one won't
hurt usability if you keep it "katalog", unlike others)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Especially misleading is translating Shared Drives as "Współdzielone
urządzenia", because a drive is a concrete concept in Google Drive (a library
of files), not a physical device like you'd attach to your computer, which is
where you'd say "urządzenie". Furthermore, Google Drive DOES allow actual
device backups (shown in "Komputery" tab if I remember correctly), so
"urządzenia" wrongly implies something closer to that than "Dyski". So this is
an actual and real usability problem.
