What .po files and which changes are you referring to? Would have to be targetted at some specific translator, no? I'm referring to the kppp.po file in the stable. You didn't seem to understand my point very well, sorry for my english :-) http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/branches/stable/l10n/fi/messages/kdenetwork/kppp.po The new line things ("\n") are useless in the po file, as the help-boxes are fixed sized and they wrap the lines automatically when running the program. (There is no need for manual new lines ("\n") in the po file because they just screw normal line wrapping up) Let's take an example: This... #: edit.cpp:459 msgid "" "Select this option when your computer has a\n" "fixed internet address (IP). Most computers\n" "don't have this, so you should probably select\n" "dynamic IP addressing unless you know what you\n" "are doing." ...should go like this: #: edit.cpp:459 msgid "" "Select this option when your computer has a " "fixed internet address (IP). Most computers " "don't have this, so you should probably select " "dynamic IP addressing unless you know what you " "are doing." And I was just guessing that these unnecessary \n could exist in other program's po files, too :-) This project is unfortunately no longer maintained. If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here: https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kppp You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived. Sorry for the inconveniences. |
Version: 2.3.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, Debian Package 4:3.4.0-0pre3 (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.29 Line changes ("\n") in the po file (files for program localisations) are useless. I assume these line changes are from kde 2.x time when help boxes ("what's this?" boxes, shift + f1) grew enormously wide. Nowadays KDE uses fixed size help boxes AFAIK, at least my KDE does. So the little problem caused by these \n appears in the help boxes while running the program. The text is lined wrong, because help boxes are fixed size and they could do the word wrapping by themselves, too. No need for manual \n in the po files. Hope you understood that, this same "problem" may exist in many po-files. Very little "bug" eventually :)
