Description Jakub Friedl 2006-06-19 16:36:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Please avoid using strings like:

_: As in No persons, no locations etc.\n
No %1

_: As in no other persons, or no other locations\n
No other %1

It is not possible to translate correctly into some languages (Czech for example). "No" is to be translated differently depending on gramatical gender of the noun %1. Moreover, the noun %1 needs to be written with small case in this string, but with upper case when standalone (but the same string is used).

Each combination should be translated separatelly.

Hi.

Do I understand you correct that rather than asking for the string
"No %1" to be translated you would rather want to explicit translate each 
combination
"No Persons", "No Locations", etc?

If so, then this is not possible, as the user himself may add new categories, 
so he could be adding a category "Flower" e.g. which I dont know anything 
about at compile time.

Cheers
Jesper.

Thanks. It now says "None" and "No other" instead.
