Some strings in GnuPG are for matching user input against. These
|
|
|
|
|
strings can accept multiple values that mean essentially the same
|
|
|
|
|
thing.
|
|
|
|

|
|
For example, the string "yes" in English is "sí" in Spanish. However,

"sí|si|seguro".

The strings that can be handled in this way are of the form "yes|yes",
|
|
|
|
|
(or "no|no", etc.) There should also be a comment in the .po file
|
|
|
|
|
directing you to this file.

GnuPG provides a little help feature (entering a ? on a prompt). This
|
|
|
|
|
help used to be translated the usual way with gettext but it turned
|
More cleanup of "allow to".

with clearer text.
In standard English, the normal construction is "${XXX} allows ${YYY}
to" -- that is, the subject (${XXX}) of the sentence is allowing the
object (${YYY}) to do something. When the object is missing, the
phrasing sounds awkward, even if the object is implied by context.
There's almost always a better construction that isn't as awkward.
These changes should make the language a bit clearer.

out that this is too inflexible and does for example not allow

|
|
|
correcting little mistakes in the English text. For some newer features
|
2007-12-04 15:00:14 +00:00
|
|
|
we require editable help files anyway and thus the existing help
|
2016-01-27 10:42:16 +01:00
|
|
|
strings have been moved to plain text files names "help.LL.txt". We
|
2007-12-04 15:00:14 +00:00
|
|
|
distribute these files and allow overriding them by files of that name
|
|
|
|
|
in /etc/gnupg. The syntax of these files is documented in
|
|
|
|
|
doc/help.txt. This is also the original we use to describe new
|
|
|
|
|
possible online help keys. The source files are located in doc/ and
|
|
|
|
|
need to be in encoded in UTF-8. Strings which require a translation
|
|
|
|
|
are disabled like this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.#gpgsm.some.help-item
|
|
|
|
|
This string is not translated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-02-20 16:19:50 -05:00
|
|
|
After translation you should remove the hash mark so that the
|
2007-12-04 15:00:14 +00:00
|
|
|
entry looks like.
|
|
|
|
|

|
.gpgsm.some.help-item
|
|
|

This string has been translated.

|
Please note that we do not use the TP Robot but require that

translations are to be send by mail to translations@gnupg.org. We
|
|
|
|
|
also strongly advise to get subscribed to i18n@gnupg.org and request
|
|
|
|
|
assistance if it is not clear on how to translate certain strings. A
|
|
|
|
|
wrongly translated string may lead to a security problem.
