Public bug reported: While going through the translation in software-center, I found one string, that is usually "hard" to translate correctly without a little bit of context, that is being used in three different contexts, with at least two different meanings.
The translatable string is: "Free". The string already has translator comments before, but unfortunately this is not enough. The same string looks like is used in 4 different files, and has 2 different meanings, at least looking at the translator comments before. The problem is that Launchpad is showing us only 1 translatable string, instead of at least 2. The translator comments used are: TRANSLATORS: Free here means Gratis TRANSLATORS: Free here means Libre TRANSLATORS: Free here means Gratis The strings are located in the following files: ../softwarecenter/db/application.py:607 ../softwarecenter/db/application.py:622 ../softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/views/appdetailsview.py:402 ../softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/views/appdetailsview.py:691 It would be best to use msgctxt: the problem being if Python 2.7 supports it out-of-the-box. ** Affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Translations Coordinators, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Translations.
