Question regarding a new translatable string in Gnome Commander
Hi all,
recently I have inserted a new translatable string in Gnome Commander
using the following command in the source code(*):
// Translators: Translate 'Copy' as a noun here
auto copyString = C_("Filename suffix", "Copy");
But up to know I've not seen a translation of that string happening in
the *.po files of Gnome Commander.
For example, in the latest Chech translation (thanks to Marek) for the file
gnome-cmd-xfer.cc, where the tranlatable string from above occurs, I do
not see that the "Copy" string is translated: Neither with the old
translation(**) nor with a new one. The same happens in other *.po
files.
So I'm asking myself if something is wrong in the translatable string
command from above. It should show the translators that this "Copy"
should not be translated as a verb but rather as a noun here, that's
why I used "C_(...)" and not the usual "_()" command.
Any ideas from the translator experts here what I did wrong?
Thank you
Best
Uwe

Hi,
you have definded _ and N_ macros in po/Makevars only. You need to add
C_ with --keyword. See an another project.
