Where did you get that impression from? The original messages can be any native characters, as long as its in a Latin script (since that is what most English users will be able to read) and valid UTF-8. In fact, the original message *should* use native Latin characters and native spelling, unless the location has an established and different name in English (as in København/Copenhagen or München/Munich).

Eivissa and Ibiza different names for a city and island. I'm discussing this one with other Softcatalà people, but I guess it could stay as Ibiza if that name is so well known outside.

String changes in gnome-applets locations
Hi,
I've fixed some of the names of Danish locations in gnome-applets from
the report
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165741
by Christian Rose (thanks!).
I've moved one of the stations to a separate country Faroe Islands
which I've created under Europe. This should be more correct. Most
Nordic contries probably have their own name for the Faroes, in Danish
it is FÃrÃerne ("the FÃr islands").

I generally translate these kind of strings as "Public files of user %s". We have some kind of equivalent of English 's, like "ın", "in", "un", "ün", etc but since these articles really depend on the last vowel of username they are appended to and since we don't use the apostrophe iether (Turkish uses it, Azerbaijani does not), it's very hard to guess the right article.

Why is that a problem? We don't use "am" or "pm" in Serbia at all, and in informal talk, people usually say "see you at 2", actually meaning "see you at 14h". It's quite easy to establish if it's 4 in the afternoon, or 4 in the morning. > Personally, I would feel that the glibc locales should always have the > localised am_pm information and let the end-user choose. However, per > Libc policy, you would simply remove the option for 12-hour/24-hour time > and simply check if "am_pm" is empty or not. It's much easier to correct a translation than to correct a locale. I know since there're currently no Serbian locales in GNU libc at all, because I asked to replace them with corrected versions, and they only removed existing locales, and I'm already waiting 2 years for them to be accepted.

Re: Translating panel clock format
Per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=140891&msg=47 it mentions that the glibc locale policy is that am_pm information will be blank if the country does not official support AM/PM to signify the time. This leads to problems of programs allowing to show the time in a 12-hour format while nothing shows whether it's AM or PM. Personally, I would feel that the glibc locales should always have the localised am_pm information and let the end-user choose. However, per Libc policy, you would simply remove the option for 12-hour/24-hour time and simply check if "am_pm" is empty or not.

Really, translators should be more careful, but perhaps stressing the fact even more in the comment and making the comment slightly more verbose and explanatory would help somewhat: /* Translators: This controls whether the GNOME panel clock should display time in 24 hour mode or 12 hour mode by default. The only valid values for this are "24-hour" and "12-hour". If your locale uses 24 hour time notation, translate this to "24-hour". If your locale uses 12 hour time notation with am/pm, translate this to "12-hour". Do NOT translate this into anything else than "24-hour" or "12-hour". For example, if you translate this to "24 sata" or anything else that isn't "24-hour" or "12-hour", things will not work. */ Christian ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
Translating panel clock format
Hi, In gnome-panel, translators can translate the strings "24" and "24-hour" to "12"/"24" and "12-hour"/"24-hour" depending on whether a 12 or 24 hour clock is the norm in that locale. Unfortunately, its easy to miss the fact that you're not supposed to translate these values like other strings, so you get the likes of: msgid "24-hour" msgstr "24 sata" Which neither the panel nor gconftool-2 can understand. There are comments in the po file explaining the situation: #. Translators: the only valid values for this are "12-hour" and "24-hour" #: applets/clock/clock.schemas.in.h:4 But I guess its easy to miss that. I don't have any other ideas how to make this foolproof, though. Anyway, I've fixed up all the translations in gnome-panel to have the correct values.
