Bug ID: 460722
Summary: Phrase "Open Containing Folder" isn't directly

Open Containing Folder - translated as: "Otwórz jego katalog"
This happens in:
kid3/kid3_qt.po trunk
kio/kio5.po trunk
spectacle/spectacle.po stable/trunk (I assume as source - as it makes sense
only for this one)
ISSUE:
"Open Containing Folder" - cannot be translated directly.
zawierać (to contain) as verb needs a object.
And participle is used same way - otherwise it leads to extremely
weird/incorrect phrase.
It would need to be extended - "Open folder containing [this] file" - "Otwórz
katalog zawierający [ten] plik"; "Open folder containing [this] folder" -
"Otwórz katalog zawierający [ten] katalog" (Which is mouthful).
The person who translated spectacle probably understood this and created this
weird fix:
"Open his/it's folder" - "zrzut ekranu" (screenshot) is the 'it' then sentence
"Otwórz jego katalog" can be interpreted as in open it's (screenshot's) folder.
This wasn't intended to be copied but people did copy the phrase which did not
end well.
Now we have kio5 and kid3_qt
Both translated as spectacle above which does not make sense - what is the
"it's"?
SOLUTION
Because of how location of file is referred in the properties - "Otwórz
położenie " + "pliku"/"katalogu" - open the location "of the file"/"of the
folder".
Unless you are willing to use neologisms like "nadkatalog" then "location"
solution will be simplest phrase.
"Otwórz nadkatalog" - open the above-folder - "podkatalog" (under-folder) is
'subdirectory' in Polish.
