Description Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2025-05-02 12:05:51 UTC
The following string is is not trivially translatable into spanish because 'the following' has no cardinality in english, but its spanish natural counterpart does.

Comment 3 David Nind 2025-05-02 12:42:37 UTC
If I was rewriting in plain language, I'd change it to:
- These items are overdue
- This item is overdue

Including "currently" is unnecessary (in my view).

Changing "the following" to these or this is more direct and concise, and less wordy (also in my view).
Comment 4 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2025-05-02 12:45:56 UTC
I agree, David. Would you like to send a follow-up? Or maybe I tweak the patch.

Bug 39815: (follow-up) Make sentences more concise

Changes "The following items" to "These items" (and singular equivalents).

Removes "currently", as it is unnecessary.

End result:
- These items are overdue
- This item is overdue
