In the po file for translating getfedora.org there is a message:
There's more to
On the web page, this is followed by the Fedora logotype as an image. Effectively, the logotype becomes the final word in the sentence.
The most natural translation of this to Swedish would start with the word fedora. I made a trac request to have this message changed to include the reference to the logotype. See
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/365
"Robyduck" answered and was a bit concerned that this meant all teams would have to update their translations. In my opinion, it is worth it. The translations could become more correct. Do you agree with me, fellow translators, this is something we want?
It's not an issue as it is for Spanish, as the image-word happens to be where it should with the chosen translation. But I do agree that the strings should be full sentences if possible, so +1 for the change. Not only that, but I also think that the alt text for that image should be "fedora" or "Fedora", not "fedora logo", and that it should be kept in the change.
Also, note to self: be more careful with this stuff. I hadn't noticed that string as problematic, and there may be more.
Regarding the "difficult" string with most of it being an image tag with attributes that should not be translated, well, there are other -maybe easier- strings with tags. And po files accept comments to help translators, automatically extracted when generating the pot (at least in some programming languages, I don't know for sure in whatever they are using). And we have already been warned in this thread and that ticket. And he'll surely tell us again when he announces the change to the list. And maybe he can use an xml entity to hide that all so that we just see "There's more to &RUNNINGIMAGEOFFEDORANAME;."
So the only issue I can see is that any change would mean that those that now have the string translated will have to retranslate or go back to English there. Shouldn't a notice to the list and maybe a week or two be enough for that? I'm quite new here. I know I would notice and translate the new string, but I don't know about resources for other, maybe smaller locales.
