Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH] Usability: enhance password label in LXC wizzard
And what if the language is read from right to left, eg. Chinese? That's why the %s is part of the string to be translated, you can always add a formatting convention that would flip the inserted string ;- ) Readers in rtl languages (which rarely use Latin characters to begin with) tend to expect untranslated words will remain unflipped as well - so drowssap root would be expected, while drowssap toor would just look odd. It's also worth noting, here, that we have a plethora of other untranslated terms scattered throughout the existing translations, so whatever mechanism those are using is probably the (currently) preferred one. I'd suggest taking a peek at a few to see what's already being done in this area. ___ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel

How about:
fieldLabel: 'root ' + gettext('password'),
So it's clear and translation doesn't becomes a problem.

Worse, 'root' is a system name, and it is quite unclear how to translate that

This does not need to be the 'root' password at all (although it is currently)?

Yes, currently it's root. And the code suggests also that is the
purpose, in pve-container/src/PVE/API2/LXC.pm we have the following
parameter description in the create_vm method:
password = {
optional = 1,
type = 'string',
description = Sets root password inside container.,
minLength = 5,
},
And it's also hard coded root in the Base.pm plugin for LXCSetup:
$self-set_user_password($conf, 'root', $root_password);
and for container it's always the root password, AFAIK. But I have
absolutely no problems if it stays like it is :D

Word order may differ across languages, though. The ideal solution would
be to use a formatting print with a string like %s password, but this
one would need to be translated, too, unless it's already available.

This one should be a bit better, and language independent, I'm no
language expert, though :D
gettext('Password') + ' (root)';
