AFAIK KDE3 is totally freezed, so no chance to get in there. Maybe the bug has to be reassigned kio or some of its component? I add just for case Mr. Stephan Kulow to CC, maybe he could advice what to do?

Comment 2 Marek Laane 2007-07-18 23:34:55 UTC

I reassign it to the kio for the bug corcerns not directly translation but the need to change entries in the code. I've not checked it but suspect at least some of the indicated bugs are still there...

Comment 3 Marek Laane 2007-08-25 02:01:04 UTC

Hopefully somebody will look at it before KDE4 is out...

Comment 4 David Faure 2008-10-13 15:40:36 UTC

"Could not listen" is a very rare and rather technical error message (it means the listen() call failed), and the %1 can be any information provided by the kioslave; kopete passes the last port number that was tried while kio_ftp passes the hostname. Same thing for "could not accept", and the unused "could not bind", well %1 could even be empty, so a preposition would be a problem. I guess the whole thing needs to be refined and explained better to the user, but for this I would need to actually hit this error message, which doesn't seem easy.

"showing of hidden files" is because this is about "the showing of", a noun, because it's in a list of nouns. I'm not sure it should be changed. This needs to go via a native english speaker first... Jessica Hall maybe?

Number 3 is fixed already, it seems.

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2013-07-20 14:25:44 UTC

Dawit why you move this bug to i18n? If there is wrong messages in kdelibs, that's a kdelibs bug and something you guys have to fix.

Comment 6 Albert Astals Cid 2013-07-20 14:31:13 UTC

Back to where it belongs

Comment 7 Christoph Cullmann 2024-06-20 19:23:02 UTC

I looked at it in master, the missing to is in generic error message handling, to sure if on really wants to add it there.

    case KIO::ERR_CANNOT_BIND:
        result = i18n("Could not bind %1.", errorText);
        break;
    case KIO::ERR_CANNOT_LISTEN:
        result = i18n("Could not listen %1.", errorText);
        break;
    case KIO::ERR_CANNOT_ACCEPT:
        result = i18n("Could not accept %1.", errorText);
        break;

The other stuff seems fixed.
