I am working on the translation of the new modules. Here are some questions and issues of some terms that need some clarification: In RSS module, does "Slower" mean slower than "Slow", or slower than "Fast"? Also in RSS, where is the term "On item" used? I couldn't find it in the UI. In Core, the following 2 strings are marked as c-format when they are not: "Partial acceleration gives you roughly 10-25% performance increase, but some forms of ..." and "Full acceleration gives roughly a 90% performance increase, but no dynamic data (random ..." In Register, what possible terms will be used as the %s in "You can now %s to your account with your username and password."? Thanks. |

slower in the rss admin view means slower than slow.
c-format is probably because of %. does it hurt?
@register
"login"
i've changed it now such that it's %slogin%s whereas the first %s is the <a href=...> and the second is </a>

The c-format marks throw off the make install process. It complains about they are not valid c-format strings. Had to remove the c-format marks to get it working.
Thanks.

I added support for a cFormat=(true|false) flag on our {g->text} strings so we can override when xgettext gets it wrong.. the 2 strings you mentioned now have cFormat=false so you'll see #, no-c-format in the po file, and shouldn't get any errors from your translation. If you find other strings with the wrong c-format tag, just let us know.. thanks!
