[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #15484] Improve translation sq. mi., M tons, M goods, bulbs
Update of bug #15484 (project freeciv): Status: Ready For Test = In Progress ___ Follow-up Comment #5: If used abbreviation for M tons and M goods ( млн. тон and млн. товаров in Russia) the plural form isn't necessary. I think I'll commit this anyway; it doesn't do any harm to hook these quantities into the plural system, and some other language may not have this loophole. As I said, it'll cause a few fuzzies in .po files on S2_2, but update-po seems to do the right thing so it won't actually decrease the quality of existing translations. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15484 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #15484 (project freeciv): I think and I agree with you. If used abbreviation for M tons and M goods ( млн. тон and млн. товаров in Russia) the plural form isn't necessary. For sq. mi. needs plural form (1 кв. миля, 2 кв. мили or 5 кв. миль). There is no abbreviation for mile in Russian. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15484 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of bug #15484 (project freeciv): Status:None = Ready For Test Assigned to:None = jtn ___ Follow-up Comment #3: I've had a go at this. After several false starts, I don't think I need to use qualified strings after all. The English forms for M tons and M goods are invariant, as M tons means million tons, so 1 M tons is still plural. I presume this needs hooking into the plural system for languages where zero versus nonzero is different (at least). I've updated the instances of these strings used in the demographics report (server/report.c); however, I've done nothing (except add TRANS comments) to the places they appear in the Gtk client endgame report (client/gui-gtk-2.0/repodlgs.c), because they're column headings and so not tied to a specific number. Before I commit this, can you check that this lets you do what you need to? It seemed to produce sensible output when I ran make update-po, but I haven't found documentation that passing two identical arguments to PL_()/ngettext() definitely does the right thing. This is going to create some fuzzies, but update-po seemed to do the right thing so as to not make existing translations worse.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #15484 (project freeciv): I'm not sure I understand what you need. Do you mean that you need singular and plural forms (such as ?singular: M tons and ?plural: M tons) for all of the demographics report items? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15484 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #15484 (project freeciv): I am so sorry. I submit this post in the night and no good description my problem. Yes, you right understand me. I need singular and plural forms for this string. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15484 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
