#571 Improved "translatability" of getfedora.org
Closed: Fixed Opened by goeran.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

In the po file for translating getfedora.org there is a message:
{{{
There's more to
}}}
On the web page, this is followed by the Fedora logotype as an image. Effectively, the logotype becomes the final word in the sentence.

The most natural translation of this to Swedish would '''start''' with the word ''fedora''. Would it be possible modify the sources so this becomes a message with a placeholder for the logotype? Something like
{{{
There's more to %s
}}}
so ''%s'' is where the logo is to go? Then I can put it first in the Swedish translation, and I suspect some other languages' translators would also have an easier task.

Yes we can do this and I have a fix for this issue, but I have two concerns:

  • All L10n teams need to retranslate this string again
  • The string won't look so easy, because we also need to add a class:
    {{{
    There\'s more to .
    }}}

Would this still be fine? We might ask this also on the trans-ML, to get more opinions.

Personally, I'm not worried about the complexity. There are already a number of anchor links with href attributes in the current po file, and they were no problem to me.

When it comes to the retranslation, it isn't possible to automate this? If it would be possible to amend all current translations with the img tag, and the source in sync, nothing would change initially. And where appropriate, translations could be improved later on. But I don't know much about the infrastructure here, maybe that is overly complicated?

Otherwise, I can bring it up on the mailing list. (Tomorrow, it's late in this time zone. :-))

I pushed the fix, will see if we can add some comments for translators too. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for fixing. I just updated the Swedish translation.
