Hello,
while updating Czech translation for util-linux-2.34-rc2 I spotted these
issues in the message strings:
# FIXME: Remove a trailing period
#: login-utils/lslogins.c:1345
msgid ""
" -p, --pwd display information related to login by password.\n"
# FIXME "user" should read "group"
#: sys-utils/setpriv.c:139
msgid " --rgid <gid|user> set real gid\n"
# FIXME: Missing a comma between options
#: term-utils/agetty.c:2352
msgid " -J --noclear do not clear the screen before prompt\n"
# FIXME: Missing a comma between options
#: term-utils/agetty.c:2357
msgid " -N --nonewline do not print a newline before issue\n"
# FIXME: typo in "is possible", should be "if possible"
#: misc-utils/findmnt.c:1246
msgid " --tree enable tree format output is possible\n"
Moreover, I have difficulies in translating this message:
#: misc-utils/hardlink.c:363 text-utils/pg.c:1263
msgid "saved"
because each of the location requires a different translation in Czech
language ("stored" versus "spared"). Please either add a gettext context or,
better, duplicate the messages:
# First argument is "Would link" or "Linked".
#: misc-utils/hardlink.c:354
#, c-format
msgid " %s %s to %s\n"
into:
msgid " Would link %s to %s\n"
msgid " Linked %s to %s\n"
and duplicate this:
# First argument is "Would link" or "Linked".
# Second and third ones are file names.
# Fourth one is "would save" or "saved".
#: misc-utils/hardlink.c:360
#, c-format
msgid " %s %s to %s, %s %jd\n"
into:
msgid " Would link %s to %s, would save %jd\n"
msgid " Linked %s to %s, saved %jd\n"
I believe it will make the messages more undestandible and easier to
translate also in other languages.
