#324 Translation bug in toolbar textbox in German version

[Anonymous]

My eMail address is ameyer@emsnet.de.

There's a tiny, tiny little bug in the German translation - I don't know, if I'm in the right place to mention this here, but I'll just do it - you'll know who to contact about this.

The problem occurs, when I start a station by artist and stop the station again. In the Toolbar there's the textbox. If I stopped a artists' station, it says something like "Push play to hear ... similar artists" (I translate it freely, as I have the German version of it). In the German version the text in the box says "Drücken Sie auf Wiedergabe um ... ähnliche Interpreten zu hören". And in the place, where the ... are, is the little error. There's a letter "s" attached to every entry put in there, so it says for example "Genesiss", "Beatless", "Led Zeppelins", "Paul McCartneys" etc. - always that extra "s" at the end.

The "s" is in the right place there, if I had started a user station before. It then says "Push play to hear "Users" station". But it does not belong there, if it's an artists' name. It would be just great to have that extra letter "s", that's added at the end of the artists name removed.

And if I'm at this thing - I would suggest to translate the line for a artists' station in the box otherwise anyway, rather like "Drücken Sie auf Wiedergabe um ähnliche Interpreten wie ... zu hören". Sounds nicer to the German ear, I'd say.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your report. We have investigated this matter with our German translator, and the error you mention is also present in other languages, such as English. This is due mostly to a technical limitation we have in the way we handle text within our extension.

This is a tricky problem that we will try to fix, but it may take some time. We appreciate your report and we will certainly keep it in mind.

Thank you for using Fire.fm!
