Askbot translation

Hi,

not shure what to do with some Askbot strings:
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/hr/askbot/translate.html#page=2

On Pootle string has tri boxes (for singular, dual and plural), but I'm not translating online, using Poedit. When download .po files, Poedit does not recognize all three forms, just two of them: Form 0 and Form 1.

Since this is not a Poedit mailing list, I wonder why downloaded .po file has only msgstr[0] "" and msgstr[1] ""? Can I manualy add msgstr[2] "" to a django.po file?

Next what I need to know what is a purpose of "d" in %(max_tags)d? Should that be unchanged in translation or should be translated? Samo thing with "s" outside the brackets in %(tags)s (https://translations.documentfoundation.org/hr/askbot/translate.html#unit=41139275)…

The 'd' and 's' are printf format specifiers. 'd' means decimal, 's' means
string. They should be left alone unless you want to break things.

As for the missing plural forms, that's caused by wrong plural forms entry
in the .po header. It should be:

Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 &&
n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);

Thanks on quick reply

So I'm not touching them.

As for the missing plural forms, that's caused by wrong plural forms entry in the .po header. It should be:

Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);

Can I just paste this one you've posted here over one in .po file if we are talking about Croatian language? Should I put \n on the end of the line, I see that every other line in django.po header ends with \n.

Hi

For askbot, I think it is better to go directly to the askbot
translation tool located in

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/askbot/

This is because we will deploy a fresh instance of the latest release of
Askbot and we will try to avoid customizations.

I that case, why wasn't the "askbot" project removed from TDF Pootle?
It's just wasting the time of translators.

I guess nobody asked Pootle admins to remove it.

The askbot project is gone now. :wink:
