Re: [Phpwiki-talk] German translations need proofing (volunteers?)

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

Ok, I removed the fuzzies with emacs--what a cool little program! (I was=20=

used to using pico, never even new what emacs was.)

Still verifying which strings weren't picked out by xgettext.

A couple more problems:

1. Variable reordering. In the case where word ordering differs during=20=

translation, the gettext manual suggests the following syntax to force =
the=20
correct text substitution:

  #: ../lib/diff.php:251
  #, c-format
  msgid "Differences between %s and %s of %s."
  msgstr "Der Unterschiedsergebnis von %3$s, zwischen %1$s und %2$s."

PHP doesn't like it. Probably the example from the gettext manual refers=20=

to C code.

  PHP Warnungen
  locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/phpwiki.php:57: Notice[8]: Undefined variable: s

What to do?


2. Strings in the html template don't seem to substitute for %s.
I tried:
          <?php echo sprintf(_("haystack %s"),_("needle")); ?>

and some permutations of $_() as they are used elsewhere on the page:
          <?php echo sprintf($_("haystack %s"),_("needle")); ?>


The purpose is to make the three following changes, the first and second=20=

are the most important:

1.=3D=3D=3D=3D
#: ../templates/browse.html:97 ../templates/editpage.html:71
-msgid "You are signed in as"
-msgstr "Du bist eingemeldet als"

+msgid "You are signed in as %s"
+msgstr "Du bist als %s eingemeldet"

2.=3D=3D=3D=3D
  #: ../templates/editpage.html:80
-msgid "You can change the size of the editing area in"

+msgid "You can change the size of the editing area in %s"

3.=3D=3D=3D=3D
-#: ../templates/editpage.html:82
-msgid "See"
-msgstr "Sehe"
  #: ../templates/editpage.html:82
  msgid "GoodStyle"
  msgstr "GuterStil"
-#: ../templates/editpage.html:82
-msgid "tips for editing."
-msgstr "tips f=B8rs Editieren."

+msgid "See %s tips for editing."
+msgstr "Sehe %s tips f=B8rs Editieren."
