Hi all, Am seeking clarification on coding style, notably the use of trailing white space & punctuation.
import gettext as _ ... _("Enter your name: ") => Generally used _("Enter your name")+": " => Best for translators, slower to run, readability decreases _("Enter your name%s") % (": ",) => Avoids concat, readability low Trailing white space & punctuation marks can be irritating to deal with. As a translator, it's hard to know the significance of the white space without context if you notice it. When the translator interprets things incorrectly, the reader then experiences the irritation. I've looked through the Code Guidelines[1], but can't see any reference the appropriate way to use gettext -Tim [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Code_Guidelines
