Bug #: 38758
Summary: Using dollar signs makes messages in translatable
pages FUZZY
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Translate
AssignedTo: niklas.laxst...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il
CC: asha...@wikimedia.org, s.mazel...@xs4all.nl
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In the Wikimedia Highlights reports, which are translatable on Meta, dollar
sums are frequently cited. For example:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights,_June_2012#Financials
While translating that sections, the translator gets a message that numbered
parameters are not used, even though these are not parameters.
When the message is saved, it becomes FUZZY, because the software doesn't see
the "parameters", even though they aren't actually needed.
This is especially important for languages in which it is not natural to use
the dollar sign the same way as it is used in English.
