Reviewing the translation template

The current launchpad-template still has some entries that could be unclear for translators.

Please add a comment to each entry you know something about:

If an entry doesn't need translation, please add "will not be translated" and I'll add the entry later to \trunk\i18n\donottranslate.po

Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC) You can also do a full text search with Notepad++ on the *.cs files in csharp\ICT\Petra and see where the strings are used, that might give you a clue if it should be translated or not, and what the context is

- LastModificationUser

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): will not be translated

- Mailing Code: = Zip Code?

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): this is usually a reference to table p_mailing: http://openpetraorg.sourceforge.net/dbdoc/index.html?table=p_mailing&group=mailing. When a gift is received, and you know the donor has given because you have sent him a special letter, the mailing code which clearly identifies that letter, can be entered with the gift.

- R.List Items

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): this is on the PartnerFind_Options screen. you can sort items to the right or to the left side. That screen does not even open yet from the Partner Find screen, I have deactivated it for some reason, I think it was not completely working without Petra.

• Yes, with todo it's meant "things that still need to be done"
• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): will not be translated

- Xyz Tbd Code: / Xyz Tbd Cost:

- this.FDelegateGetPartnerShortName could not be called!

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): will not be translated. should probably be changed in csharp\ICT\Petra\Client\MPartner\Gui\UC_PartnerEdit_TopPart.ManualCode.cs to not call Catalog.GetString

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): this is about the lblPartnerKeyNonExactMatch on partner find.

- DummyButton

• = test button
• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): will not be translated

- Extract In the raw 1195. Is it a verb or a noun?

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): Extracts are a list of partners. They are used as a result from a special filter. For example you can filter all partners that have given more then 50 euros in the past 6 months, and put all their partner keys and addresses into an extract, and send a mailing to all those people.

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): correct

- SYBUNT

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): SYBUNT = Some Year But Unfortunately Not This Year.

- 'Gift given in year' must be less than 'No gifts in year'

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): This is related to a validation error message: wrong year entered, the donor has first to have given in some year, and in the following year has stopped giving

- Top Middle Bottom in raws 1865, 1867 and 1869 Do they refer to a place in a page?

The conference organisers know what money to charge to each field, by this report.

- Sign Off Lines: What does the phrase mean?

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): this is also for the field reports for a conference. Should we print a line for the signature, so it can be signed with a pen by the one responsible to pay

- If charged field is not set: What does the phrase mean?

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): Same report parameter screen: what should we do if we don't know which field to charge because it is not set on the participant's record

• Pokorra 20:39, 14 April 2011 (UTC): some users won't have access to edit partners that are foundations. Foundations are a special type of organisation. They usually are important donors, and they should not be approached by any user in the office, but only by the person that has been assigned to do that job.
