Description Marc Véron 2014-08-12 07:43:03 UTC
The list module contains strings that are difficult to ranslate correctly.

Example:
To verify:
Go to:
Home › Lists › Public lists › Create new list
Toggle translations e.g. to German or French. Read text at the right of the screen.

English:
A Public list can be seen by everybody, but managed only by you.

It is almost impossible to translate such constructions without getting silly errors (because of the fragmentation of such constructs in Pootle):

German:
Eine Öffentlich Die Liste kann von jedem angesehen, aber nur von Ihnen bearbeitet werden.
Shoud be:
Eine öffentliche Liste kannn...

French:
Une Public La liste peut être vue par tout le monde, mais est gérée par vous-seul.
Should be: 
Une liste publique peut....

Solution: Other wording of the English text.
Public list: Can be seen by everybody, but managed only by you.

Patch follows.

Bug 12749 - Better translatability for list module

This patch changes wording of explanations in list module to make them better translatable.
Additionally, it removes explanation for "Open list" from help screen, because this choice is not available.

To test:
Go to Home > Lists > Public lists > Create new list
Verify that the text changed to "Private list:..." rsp. "Public list:..." in right part of screen and on help screen.

Marc,
I was struggling with the special > character in your commit message. My git or git-bz version still does not like utf8 chars in the commit message. When attaching the signed patch it crashes.
Replaced them now by normal > characters.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2014-08-13 11:39:31 UTC
Hi Marcel,
what I do for Marc's patches is: git bz attach without -e and then a git bz edit to set the status. This way you can get around the problem :)

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for the hint. I simply copy-pasted the line with the 'bad' > from the staff interface. Will do my best to replace or avoid them  :-)

Marc
