Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2009-08-18 16:02:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

There is a translation problem in libexiv2.

See the following source file:
http://lxr.kde.org/source//KDE/kdegraphics/libs/libkexiv2/libkexiv2/countryselector.cpp#164

164         countryCodeMap.insert( "PRK", i18n("Korea") );
165         countryCodeMap.insert( "KOR", i18n("Korea") );

This is impossible to correctly translate, as the string ‘Korea’ is used for two different countries (PRK = North-Korea and KOR = South-Korea), but we (the translators) only get one unique string to translate.

I guess it’s also very confusing in the UI, with two identical entries.

libkexiv2/altlangstredit.cpp also has a similar problem. There’s only one string there (‘Korean (Korea)’), but no indication to the translators if it’s North-Korea or South-Korea (it’s South-Korea).

Furthermore ‘Frisian (Netherlands)’ should be changed to ‘Western Frisian (Netherlands)’, which is the official name.
