Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
While translating ubuntuone-client for Mavercik, I found a strange
string:
Published at
Looking at the code, looks like that string is constructed appending
different strings together. This is the part of the code:
question = g_string_append (question, "\t- ");
question = g_string_append (question, key);
question = g_string_append (question, _(" (Published at "));
question = g_string_append (question, value);
question = g_string_append (question, ")\n");
I'm not a Glib expert, but isn't it possible to use
g_string_append_printf() or g_string_append_vprintf() to construct at
least the "Published at" part? There could be languages that need to
change the position of "value" to render the string in their own
language.
Also, if possible, I would rather remove "padding" white spaces from a
translatable string: by mistake somebody could take them out from the
translation.
Thanks.
