It is about providing Translators' comment or precise context to the confusing source strings in the source code of the application so that the resultant pot/po files have that context and it becomes easy for the translators to translate the confusing strings.On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 1:22 PM, Nilamdyuti Goswami <ngoswami@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi all, While translating some of the fedora packages we often come across some source strings whose context or meaning is not clear. This results in wrong translations which is discovered later while using the actual application. This in turn effects the concerned application. To solve this issue, we have formed a Fedora SIG named "Source String Contextualizing Group" [1] aimed at providing concise yet meaningful description of the concerned source strings in the source code itself to ensure the correctness and quality in the resulting translations.It is *just* about improving the source code? If Transifex has this feature, we would like to know more about it because this can be a more direct solution to the problem. :-)There is already a Transifex feature which can help provide context without having to edit the source code. Yeah, we have tried deckard before and indeed it is amazing but it is something which is used for proofreading. If a translator wasn't sure of a particular source string's meaning, did a wrong translation and eventually finds the mistake when he proofreads the actual UI in deckard, he has to do an extra work and make the correction in the respective po file whereas providing a proper context will ensure a correct translation in the first place. Proofreading the app, detecting the mistake, and then making the correction won't be required. :-)Best would be able to proofread on the app itself.. See what is going on with GTK: http://gil.badall.net/2013/01/23/i18n-dreams-eventually-come-true/ http://deckard.malizor.org/ that's amazing. We welcome feedback and suggestions.
