Hello,
With translators' consent, I would like to fix bug #151424[1]. The fix
involves string substitutions that are too inflexible for some languages.
The following patch shows the proposed strings changes:

void dmsBox::setDegType( bool t ) {
deg = t;
QString sDeg = ( t ? i18n( "degrees" ) : i18n( "hours" ) );
- QString sMin = ( t ? i18n( "arcminutes" ) : i18n( "minutes" ) );
- QString sSec = ( t ? i18n( "arcseconds" ) : i18n( "seconds" ) );

minutes and seconds" ) );
- QString sTip = i18n( "Angle value in %1.", sDeg );
+ QString sTip = i18nc( "Angle value in degrees/hours", "Angle value
in %1.", sDeg );
QString sWhatsThis;
if ( isReadOnly() ) {
- sWhatsThis = i18n( "This box displays an angle in %1. "
- "The three numbers displayed are the angle's "
- "%1, %2, and %3." , sDeg, sMin, sSec);
+ if ( deg ) {
+ sWhatsThis = i18nc( "This box displays an angle in degrees/hours",
+ "This box displays an angle in %1. ", sDeg );
+ sWhatsThis += i18n( "The three numbers displayed are the angle's %1",
sDMS );
+
} else {
sTip += i18n( " You may enter a simple integer, or a floating-point
value, "
"or space- or colon-delimited values specifying "
- "%1, %2 and %3" , sDeg, sMin, sSec);
+ "%1" , sDMS );
sWhatsThis = i18n( "Enter an angle value in %1. The angle can be
expressed "
"as a simple integer (\"12\"), or floating-point "
"(\"12.33\") value, or as space- or
colon-delimited "
- "values specifying %1, %2 and %3 (\"12:20\",
\"12:20:00\", "
- "\"12 20\", \"12 20 00.0\", etc.)." , sDeg, sMin,
sSec);
+ "values specifying %2 (\"12:20\", \"12:20:00\", "
+ "\"12 20\", \"12 20 00.0\", etc.)." , sDeg,
sDMS );
}
setToolTip( sTip );
Essentially, rather than translating each word separately
("degrees", "hours", "arcminutes", etc.), I'm now defining "degrees"
and "hours", and then the triplet-values all together in one
string: "degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds"; "hours, minutes and seconds".
thanks,
Jason
