Hi Helge, the po4a upstream developers list,
Le 02/11/2011 10:15, Helge Kreutzmann a écrit :
First a typo/question:
"The configuration file consists of several sections, general, XML/XSL "
"support, POD support and HTML support."
(that's a po4a-build(1) string)
Looks like "general" is spelled with a lower case
"g", however in the
next string:;
"General includes the name and location of the po4a config file (probably "
"best to leave this as <filename>po4a.config</filename>), the po
directory "
If I understood correctly “general” is a just word, “global” would have
fit here as well, it's just the “common” part of the po4a-build.conf(5)
file. So I don't think there is any typo here, but Neil should be able
to enlighten us here.
-"This define a module alias named B<test>, based on the
B<man> module, with "
+"This defines a module alias named B<test>, based on the B<man> module,
with "
Fixed.
The next one I only mention once, but I saw it several times (e.g.
in
doc/po4a-build.conf.5.pod:35 and lib/Locale/Po4a/Sgml.pm:47 as well):
-msgid "Extra options for B<msgmerge>."
+msgid "Extra options for B<msgmerge>(1)."
It's not fundamentally an error, I don't even know if we want to fix it,
the po4a upstream developers list CCed to gather more opinions.
Btw. you use different markup for denoting programs, e.g. in
po4a-translate:30 you use L<>.
It's a POD feature, see perlpod(1) (not all manual shipped in po4a have
a POD source).
I'm not sure if that can be unfuzzied and also you might
consider
using the same phrase (albeit needing the same fix) from
po4a-updatepo:92? to remove one almost duplicate string.
-msgid "List the documentation format understood by po4a."
+msgid "List the documentation formats understood by po4a."
See also above:
-msgid "List the documentation format handled by po4a."
+msgid "List the documentation formats handled by po4a."
Plural was already used in the (few) translated languages I was able to
understand, so I also unfuzzyed all of them (anyway, grammar rules vary
among language). Since “understood” was already used in po4a-gettextize,
po4a-normalize, and po4a-translate, I fixed po4a-updatepo to use the
same wording (s/handled/understood).
This one I'm not 100% sure, please check:
-"provided PO file should be the translation of the POT file which were "
+"provided PO file should be the translation of the POT file which was "
Agreed, unfuzzyed too.
-"the addition of a new module boring, to make sure the
documentation is "
+"the addition of a new module boring, because you had to make sure the
documentation is "
I'm not sure if the original sentence of Locale::Po4a::Chooser(3) is
wrong, even if yours sounds better. The rest of the string might need
fixing too, more comments are welcome.
As long as this bug is open, I can continue filing the typos found
here, how would you like to proceed in the future?
Fine for me, I think other active po4a contributors are following the
BTS too, I just CCed the po4a upstream developers list to make sure of
that. For future typos, providing an actual patch[es serie] one could
review and acknowledge directly would be even more welcome, you may send
them directly to <po4a-devel(a)lists.alioth.debian.org> (it's a low
traffic list you may consider subscribing to).
