Re: [rt-users] Is this English ? Notify Owner of their ticket has...

In recent times "their" has been used in English for gender  
neutrality. It's not considered completely proper, but it's very common.

Sorry, I have to jump in to say that, while the sentences could perhaps
be cleaner, they are perfectly good English. Translate at will.

The mix up sungular with pluriel...

> => "Notify Owner of his rejected ticket"

or is it:  "Notify Owners of their rejected tickets"

To clarify it, you need the context.

or: "Notify Owner if his ticket has been approved and is ready to be acted on"

Maybe: "Notify Owner if his ticket has been approved by some or all approvers"

...

It seems that the original english version has to be proofread.

[rt-users] Is this English ? Notify Owner of their ticket has...

2009-07-16 Thread Erwan HAMON 
Hi,

I am trying to complete RT3.8's French translation. I am a bit puzzled  
by some sentence constructs.

Can someone confirm my suggestions would make better sense.

Sorry if this is the wrong list.

Regards,


#: etc/initialdata:356 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:85
msgid "Notify Owner of their rejected ticket"

=> "Notify Owner of his rejected ticket"

#: etc/initialdata:369 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:98
msgid "Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved and is ready to  
be acted on"

=> "Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved and is ready to be  
acted on"

#: lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Created.pm:57 lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Passed.pm:55
msgid "Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved by some or all  
approvers"

=> "Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved by some or all approvers"

#: etc/initialdata:342 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:71
msgid "Notify Requestor of their ticket has been approved by all approvers"

=> "Notify Requestor that his ticket has been approved by all approvers"

#: etc/initialdata:328 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:57
msgid "Notify Requestor of their ticket has been approved by some approver"

=> "Notify Requestor that his ticket has been approved by some approver"
