[URGENT] Bad translatable string for folder merge dialog

2010-09-05 Thread Luca Ferretti 
The way to build the secondary message for merge folder dialog[1] is
really really bad from a localization point of view.


/* Translators: the first string in this printf
 * is the "An older/A newer/Another" string defined some lines before.
 */
secondary_text = g_strdup_printf (
_("%s folder with the same name already exists in \"%s\".\n"
  "Merging will ask for confirmation before "
  "replacing any files in the folder that "
  "conflict with the files being copied."),
time_str,
dest_dir_name);

Could we change it ASAP, providind 4 different translatable strings:

1.  "An older older with the same name already exists in \"%s\".\n"
2.  "An newer folder with the same name already exists in \"%s\".\n"
3.  "Another folder with the same name already exists in \"%s\".\n"
4.  "Merging will ask for confirmation before replacing any files in the
folder that conflict with the files being copied."

Same, of course, for the similar message related to files:

secondary_text = g_strdup_printf (
_("%s file with the same name already exists in 
\"%s\".\n"
  "Replacing it will overwrite its content."),
time_str,
dest_dir_name);

Cheers, Luca

I highly second that, in its current form, it is impossible to translate
into Arabic, for example.

If we are going to change those strings, could we please consider also:
 
 * dialog title "File conflict"[1] -- it should be "File Conflict", HIG
 * mnemonics for buttons -- "Merge"[2] "Reset" [3] and "Replace"[4]
should have a _
 * mnemonic for checkbox  -- "Apply this ..." [5]

About dialog title, isn't better something like "Confirm File
Replacement" ?
