<[email protected]>:
Different question, now that we have a more or less clean translation,
we can look into some other stuff too. I've noticed that we have some
linebreaking issues in menu items, for example System Settings is now:
Roghainnean an t-
siostaim
But in our locale t-siostaim should not be broken across 2 lines. Is
there
a) a way of generally preventing t- n- h- in our locale from breaking
across two lines?
b) a manual way of preventing or forcing a linebreak? Would nonbreaking
hyphens work? Or should I try something like
Roghainnean an<br>t-siostaim
Thanks
Michael
Hi!
Menu items are generally taken from .desktop files. There is nothing that
a translator can do with such strings. It is a bug in software. \n and
<br/> does not usually help here.
Programming engineers should take into account hyphenation in alphabetic
languages (or switch it off) and no hyphenation in hieroglyphic ones. It
is not an easy task.
I think it is better to file a bug on this.
Best regards,
Yuri
