Hi,

I admit, I can't follow the discussion. But during translation: are the '~' important?

Some lines of a diff for translation of comments:

-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik 
kopieren */
-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik 
kopieren */
-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik 
kopieren */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy 
graphic */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy 
graphic */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy 
graphic */

And it seems that there is a certain redundancy. Or is it important to keep three copies of the same line. Is "ACHTUNG" a keywort which is searched for? Or is it safe to translate it to "ATTENTION"?

Thank you for any low-level explanation  :-)

right ? I recall a problem with trying to get the Spanish translation of
an obscure paper size (8.5" x 13" ) set as "Oficio" given that this
paper size is known as that in the handful of Latin American nations
that use it, rather than some literal Spanish translation of "Long Bond"
as the size is known in e.g. the Philippines. Would it be helpful to
have a medium-level hack to add translator-comment support to the
translation tools to help flag that sort of thing ?
In fact it is possible to add comments to strings, there is the
special "language code" x-comment. Alas, it is not extracted to SDF so
it is not very useful for translators. It would be helpful, if it
worked.

Best regards,
Andras
