Hello :)


____
1. duplicate word

#: builtins/caller.def:133
msgid "Without EXPR, returns returns \"$line $filename\".  With EXPR,"

- returns returns
+ returns


2. split strings


(a)

#: builtins/caller.def:133

msgstr ""

(f)

#: builtins/pushd.def:678
msgid ""

msgstr ""

(presumably combines with another string)

(g)

#: builtins/pushd.def:684
msgid "Adds a directory to the top of the directory stack, or rotates"
msgstr ""

#: builtins/pushd.def:685
msgid "the stack, making the new top of the stack the current working"

#: builtins/pushd.def:699
msgid "dir  adds DIR to the directory stack at the top, making it the"
msgstr ""

#: builtins/pushd.def:700
msgid "     new current working directory."
msgstr ""

(l)

#: builtins/pushd.def:707
msgid "Removes entries from the directory stack.  With no arguments,"
msgstr ""

#: builtins/pushd.def:708
msgid "removes the top directory from the stack, and cd's to the new"

3. split plurals strings

#: builtins/help.def:108

I have just translated the file bash-3.2 for the Translation Project. In doing so, I've encountered the following typos, which I thought you might like to weed out in a future release. Split strings are not good i18n practice. This is because different languages have different sytax, so we can't produce accurate translations that fit the overall sentence. Please combine split strings into complete strings, and use line-breaks or other layout measures to deal with display limitations. msgid "The value of EXPR indicates how many call frames to go back before the" msgid "Display the list of currently remembered directories. Directories" msgid "find their way onto the list with the `pushd' command; you can get" msgid "The -l flag specifies that `dirs' should not print shorthand versions" msgid "of directories which are relative to your home directory. This means" msgid "that `~/bin' might be displayed as `/homes/bfox/bin'. The -v flag" msgid "causes `dirs' to print the directory stack with one entry per line," msgid "prepending the directory name with its position in the stack. The -p" msgid "flag does the same thing, but the stack position is not prepended." msgid "+N displays the Nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by" "-N displays the Nth entry counting from the right of the list shown by" msgid "directory. With no arguments, exchanges the top two directories." msgid "-n suppress the normal change of directory when adding directories" msgid " shown by `dirs', starting with zero. For example: `popd +0'" msgid " shown by `dirs', starting with zero. For example: `popd -0'" msgid "-n suppress the normal change of directory when removing directories" is just about all split strings, so I don't have time to quote them all. Please fix them. Split strings are a very messy way to communicate information, especially in translation. Please use the gettext plurals feature, because most languages do _not_ have the same number of plurals as English. "The if COMMANDS are executed. If the exit status is zero, then the then" This is one of the many split strings mentioned in 2(p), but it looks like it also might be confused at the end. However, fixing up all those split strings will undoubtedly solve this problem as well.
