Summary: MediaWiki:Fundraiserstats-tab-ytd should not contain (USD) Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: any Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: i18n Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: FundraiserPortal AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org ReportedBy: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net CC: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net Like some other messages,MediaWiki:Fundraiserstats-tab-ytd contains a label likely put in front of a numeric figure. It also contains the string (USD) at its end, telling us what the figure measures. This is very unfriendly towards internationalizations and translation effords. Depending on language, and (sometimes) script, you want to have eihter of these: 1234 USD total so far of this year USD 1234 total so far of this year Total so far of this year: 1234 USD Total so far of this year (USD): 1234 USD Total so far of this year: 1234 and possibly more which I'm not aware of. I have no better idea than embedding the figure in the message, allways. If such text snippets are being used in a tabular layout, this is not as easy. It needs to be documented in the /qqq pseudo language so as to inform translators how to treat the snippets, and still, depending on language, the "(USD)" must be optional in a label text, and must be available to be put before or after the numeric figure. Thus, for a table, we need three messages: label-before, columns-with-figure, label-behind even though either label is most often empty in a language. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
