[Lazarus] Translation becomes "fuzzy". Why?

2017-07-14 Thread Valdas Jankūnas via Lazarus 

Hello,

In file "languages/lazaruside.lt.po" resides string:

#: lazarusidestrconsts.lischangedscoordofsfromdtodinsides
msgid "Changed %s coord of %s from \"%d\" to \"%d\" inside %s."

I translate it to:

msgstr "„%4:s“ viduje „%1:s“ koordinatė „%0:s“ pakeista iš „%2:d“ į „%3:d“."

After revision update this translation is always marked as "fuzzy,badformat". 
Why? Is rearrangement of arguments prohibited, or I don't see where I made a mistake?

In my experience this is due to a missing "msgctxt" entry.

Sometimes the po system writes one but often not. I believe when that is
specified uniquely that problem goes away. For instance:


#: linuxtrix.cltprocessinput
msgid "Input"
msgstr "Mwwaregrhh "

vs.


#: linuxtrix.cltprocessinput
msgctxt "linuxtrix.cltprocessinput"
msgid "Input"
msgstr "Mwwaregrhh "


But I'm not sure that that will get overwritten the next time po files
are written out, I don't think it does and so it should be a good fix
forever, but please let us know here if you find something different.

IIRC currently formatting arguments in translation should match original
string, otherwise formatting is considered incorrect. It is not very
flexible, but it is simple and allows to avoid subtle errors in
translations.

Probably this check can be relaxed/made more elaborate, but I don't
think it is worth potential risks and complications.
