Hi,
(This is a follow up to
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2016-March/050714.html.
Because only a few of my questions/requests from that thread were
addressed, I'm going to create 30+ bug reports at bugs.kde.org, so
that those requests do not get lost.)
I have another couple of requests for improvements in i18n messages in Plasma:
39. The following string is duplicated in two .po files. Can we have
a single source of truth?
libdiscover.po:1939:msgid "List all the backends we'll want to have
loaded, separated by coma ','."
plasma-discover-exporter.po:39:msgid "List all the backends we'll
want to have loaded, separated by coma ','."
40. Please support plurals.
plasma-discover.po-224-#: discover/qml/ApplicationsListPage.qml:250
plasma-discover.po-225-#, kde-format
plasma-discover.po-226-msgid "%1 items"
41. Please support plurals. Also, "Update (7)" does not look good to
me, how about changing to "%1 updates"?
plasma-discover.po-270-#: discover/qml/DiscoverWindow.qml:63
plasma-discover.po-273-msgid "Update (%1)"
42. Please support plurals.
plasma-discover.po-295-#: discover/qml/InstalledPage.qml:32
plasma-discover.po-297-msgid "%1 jobs pending..."
43. Please clarify how long this string can be.
plasma-mediacenter.po-22-#: browsingbackends/eventsbackend/eventsbackend.cpp:34
plasma-mediacenter.po-23-msgid "Add event or trip"
plasma-mediacenter.po-24-msgstr "Добавить событие или поездку"
44. Please clarify if it's search for a playlist or a search for a
song inside the current playlist.
plasma-mediacenter.po-146-#: mediaelements/playlist/Playlist.qml:60
plasma-mediacenter.po-147-msgid "Search Playlist"
45. Please clarify what it "inhibition".
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.battery.po-123-#:
package/contents/ui/batterymonitor.qml:194
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.battery.po-124-msgid "The battery applet
has enabled system-wide inhibition"
46. What is the difference between these two strings?
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.bluetooth.po-122-#:
package/contents/ui/DeviceItem.qml:396
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.bluetooth.po-123-msgid "File transfer"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.bluetooth.po-127-#:
package/contents/ui/DeviceItem.qml:399
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.bluetooth.po-128-msgid "Send file"
47. Please support plurals.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.comic.po-284-#:
package/contents/ui/configGeneral.qml:115
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.comic.po-285-msgid "days"
48. Please support plurals.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.comic.po-293-#:
package/contents/ui/configGeneral.qml:128
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.comic.po-294-msgid "minutes"
49. Please clarify where this is visible in the UI.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.kicker.po-233-#: plugin/recentusagemodel.cpp:134
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.kicker.po-234-msgid "Recently Used"
50. "Configure plasmoid" in
kdeplasma-addons/applets/mediaframe/package/contents/ui/main.qml is
not translatable. Also please change this string to "Configure
Plasmoid..." as this button opens a dialog when clicked.
51. Many string in
kdeplasma-addons/applets/mediaframe/package/contents/ui/ConfigGeneral.qml
are also untranslatable.
52. Please add ellipsis (...) as the labeled button opens a dialog.
Actually, it would be better to move the text into the buttons rather
than having icon-only buttons with labels aside. Consult the KDE VDG
if unsure.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.mediaframe.po-75-#:
package/contents/ui/ConfigPaths.qml:127
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.mediaframe.po-76-msgid "Add folder"
53. Please add ellipsis (...) as this menu item opens a KCM.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.pager.po-75-#: package/contents/ui/main.qml:103
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.pager.po-76-msgid "Configure Desktops"
54. Are we limited in length of translations? Please clarify how long
these strings can be.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-179-#:
package/contents/ui/ToolTipDelegate.qml:298
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-180-msgctxt "Go to previous song"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-181-msgid "Previous"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-185-#:
package/contents/ui/ToolTipDelegate.qml:307
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-186-msgctxt "Pause player"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-187-msgid "Pause"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-191-#:
package/contents/ui/ToolTipDelegate.qml:307
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-192-msgctxt "Start player"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-193-msgid "Play"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-197-#:
package/contents/ui/ToolTipDelegate.qml:315
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-198-msgctxt "Go to next song"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-199-msgid "Next"
55. Please clarify why this is not called "Recent Files". If I open a
disk image in Okteta, will it be called a "document" here?
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-208-#: plugin/backend.cpp:468
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-209-msgid "Recent Documents"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-213-#: plugin/backend.cpp:487
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.taskmanager.po-214-msgid "Forget Recent Documents"
56. Please add ellipsis (...) as it opens a KCM. Should probably be
changed to "Configure Trash...".
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.trash.po-40-#: contents/ui/main.qml:96
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.trash.po-41-msgid "Trash Settings"
57. The following strings are duplicated in two .po files:
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po and
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po. Can we have a single source
of truth?
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-67-#:
package/contents/ui/main.qml:188
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-68-msgctxt "Nobody logged
in on that session"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-69-msgid "Unused"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-73-#:

plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-74-#, kde-format
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-75-msgctxt "User logged

plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-76-msgid "TTY %1"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-80-#:

plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-81-#, kde-format
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-82-msgctxt "User logged
in on console (X display number)"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-83-msgid "on %1 (%2)"
58. Please clarify whether this action allows the user to reboot/turn
off computer, or it only has options to logout/switch user.
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-95-#:
package/contents/ui/main.qml:244
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.userswitcher.po-96-msgid "Leave..."
59. Please fix this word puzzle: "i18n("Desktop") + section"
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.windowlist.po-46-#: contents/ui/Menu.qml:50
plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.windowlist.po-47-msgid "Desktop"
60. Please clarify in the msgctxt that %1 is the name of the device,
not name of a medium (e.g. optical disc).
plasma_engine_devicenotifications.po-22-#: ksolidnotify.cpp:156
plasma_engine_devicenotifications.po-23-msgid "This device can now be
safely removed."
61. Please clarify in the msgctxt that %1 is the name of the disc
inserted into device (disc reader), not name of device (disc reader).
plasma_engine_devicenotifications.po-44-#: ksolidnotify.cpp:206
plasma_engine_devicenotifications.po-45-msgid "One or more files on
this device are open within an application."
62. "on 7 (0)" this is not very user-friendly: how can a user
understand what 7 and 0 refers to here? Even "TTY 7 (:0)" would be
better.
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-103-#:
contents/lockscreen/ChangeSession.qml:53
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-104-msgctxt "User logged in
on console (X display number)"
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-105-msgid "on %1 (%2)"
63. This will expand to e.g. ""myusername (on 7 (0))". Double closing
parenthesis do not look good.
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-109-#:
contents/lockscreen/ChangeSession.qml:57
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-110-msgctxt "Username (location)"
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-111-msgid "%1 (%2)"
64. "myusername (0)" this is not very user-friendly.
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-206-#:
contents/userswitcher/UserSwitcher.qml:108
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-207-msgctxt "Username (on
display number)"
plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel.po-208-msgid "%1 (%2)"
65. Are these messages visible in the UI?

plasma_runner_audioplayercontrol.po-295-#:

plasma_runner_audioplayercontrol.po-296-msgid "Quit"
66. Typo in msgctxt: seperator->separator
plasma_runner_spellcheckrunner.po-44-#: spellcheck.cpp:222
plasma_runner_spellcheckrunner.po-45-msgctxt "seperator for a list of words"
plasma_runner_spellcheckrunner.po-46-msgid ", "
67. This is not specific enough. Please change to "Configure activity".
plasma_shell_org.kde.plasma.desktop.po-33-#:
contents/activitymanager/ActivityItem.qml:320
plasma_shell_org.kde.plasma.desktop.po-34-#:
contents/activitymanager/StoppedActivityItem.qml:146
plasma_shell_org.kde.plasma.desktop.po-35-msgid "Configure"
68. Please say "Stop activity". It's a tooltip, no need to save space.
plasma_shell_org.kde.plasma.desktop.po-39-#:
contents/activitymanager/ActivityItem.qml:336
plasma_shell_org.kde.plasma.desktop.po-40-msgid "Stop"
69. "a long time ago" is confusing, please change to "Used more than
a year ago".
plasmaactivitymanager.po-29-#: sortedactivitiesmodel.cpp:323
plasmaactivitymanager.po-30-msgid "Used a long time ago"
70. These are file dialog titles, please change to
i18nc("@title:window", "Open File") and i18nc("@title:window", "Save
File").
plasmaintegration5.po-22-#: platformtheme/kdeplatformfiledialoghelper.cpp:257
plasmaintegration5.po-23-msgid "Opening..."
plasmaintegration5.po-27-#: platformtheme/kdeplatformfiledialoghelper.cpp:257

plasmanetworkmanagement-kded.po-494-#: passworddialog.ui:28 passworddialog.ui:61
plasmanetworkmanagement-kded.po-495-msgid "TextLabel"
72. Please clarify what "<name>" refers to. Is this understandable by
users? Currently this messages sound like the software is going to use
literally "<name>" as the login name.
plasmanetworkmanagement_l2tpui.po-39-#. i18n: ectx: property

73. Please be more specific, e.g. "Configure Mouse Actions" or
"Containment Actions". And please add @title:window to msgctxt.
plasmashell.po-45-#: currentcontainmentactionsmodel.cpp:204
plasmashell.po-46-msgid "Configure Plugin"
74. Cognate words ("added" and "additional") in one sentence should be avoided.
powerdevil.po-217-#: powerdevilcore.cpp:428
powerdevil.po-218-msgid "Additional Battery Added"
75. Translations for powerdown/suspend/... actions should be shared
between all powerdevil*config.po files, they are currently duplicated,
making them hard to maintain. Please share the code between the
respective configuration dialogs.
powerdevilactivitiesconfig.po-60-#: activitywidget.cpp:98
powerdevilactivitiesconfig.po-61-msgid "Suspend"

(Sorry for letting a request unrelated to i18n here...)
themeexplorer.po-234-#: package/contents/ui/main.qml:261
themeexplorer.po-235-msgid "Show Margins"
80. Please rename themeexplorer.po to e.g. plasmathemeexplorer.po to
prevent file collisions in the future.
Thanks in advance for fixing all of the above!
