String Freeze for 0.8

[hiker]

Hi all,

just to let all translators now that we have now frozen the strings for 0.8. We expect the first release candidate in a few days - depending how we go with the final known bugs and outstanding improvements.

If everything goes well, we might have a release tentatively hopefully in around 2 weeks time.

Cheers,
Joerg

Hi,

I'm updating Simplified Chinese translations, but it looks like something goes wrong on Launchpad, it said that "Timeout error"

Is this still happening? Maybe they had server trouble.

Maybe their support can help as well:

In launchpad,I'm having trouble with entering the translation for:

%0 feels flat today

This results in:

Error in Translation:
format specifications in 'msgid' and 'msgstr' for argument 1 are not the same

Could someone look into this?

Hi,

sorry for the delay,I was too busy today.

Unfortunately we missed a reference to 'sharp turn' key, so we had to change one string - sorry for that

Re the problem:

That's likely a temporary launchpad problem.

This results in:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

Did you use %0 and %1? Perhaps you must actually match the original language and only use %0? That would be a bit annoying - but first let us know if this is indeed the reason.

No, neither %0 or %1 work.

[GunChleoc]

%0 should work.

If you post the .po file and the translation of the string, maybe we can help.

For some reason I can't make sense of, launchpad and/or gettext recognize "%0 f" as an entity

%0 feels flat today

that's just annoying maybe we could switch over to use the {0} format like Java and C# do, then gettext wouldn't complain like that

Okay I committed a workaround, for now I replaced %0 with %s. Launchpad should pick the changes within a couple hours, then you can complete the translation
