how to avoid translating something that must not be translated ?
Hi, I just read Katrin Fisher's answer about Koha error 500 : " The problem is that something got translated that should not have been, like a piece of code." I'm member of the french translation team and, sometimes, I don't know if I translating a string won't have any negative consequences : breaking something (koha) or making it incomprehensible (koha-manual). Names of tables or columns, but also codes / names in the installer component, for example Is there anyway to alert on strings (or strings parts) that mustn't be translated ? May be 'context' or 'description' could help ? sincerely, Emmanuel Bétemps
Hi Emmanuel, it doesn’t happen very often, but it does sometimes. When you are not sure about how or if something should be translated please don’t hesitate to ask here or in the chat. It’s not always easy to keep some strange constructs/code out of the translations, but we should certainly try to improve Koha’s templates to make translations easier and less error prone. So please also feel free to file bugs for anything that is clearly code. Hope this helps, Katrin Von: Koha-translate <koha-translate-bounces@lists.koha-community.org> Im Auftrag von Manu B. via Koha-translate Gesendet: Freitag, 3.
