What if we are explicit in the comment about the intended meaning of NOW, as in: # TRANS: Indicating something that just happened; "just now", "right now", "moments ago" > +AGO = _(' ago') > ... > + return result + AGO > > This will break in most languages other than english. Sayamindu, do > you have any idea about what can be done here? Likewise: # TRANS: Indicating time passed, eg (1 month, 5 days ago); "ago", "in the past", "earlier" Good points. I'm certainly not sure how translations would work, but this approach seemed the most appropriate for the english audience to me. Is offering a few synonyms for the intended meaning appropriate in a TRANS comment? - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
