Hello,

so I just went through the most horrible translation experience ever
with plasma_engine_weather.po/pot. Hundreds of nonsensical combinations
of weather effects that nobody except the meteorologists understands. It was acceptable at the beginning but the noaa strings after 600 were
really starting to make me mad. Especially strings like "Heavy Freezin= g
Rain Rain" and "Thunderstorm Light Rain Hail Fog/Mist". Real= ly? What are
your experiences with it? Do you think it's to complicated and it shoul= d
be simplified? How did you understand those complex strings?
We don't.

Hello,

Hi,

Though the same issu= e has been discussed in the past (around 4 years back!) people still looking for help while=20 translating=C2=A0 this file!

To avoid such redundancy, I request th= e=20 developer to consider adding the context to the pot file. Just adding=20 same link given by Shwan Starr in his mail will be quite helpful.

thanks
Shankar
