Hi,

Though the same issue has been discussed in the past (around 4 years back!)
people still looking for help while translating  this file!

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

thanks
Shankar

so I just went through the most horrible translation experience ever<br>
with plasma_engine_weather.po/pot. Hundreds of nonsensical combinations<br>
of weather effects that nobody except the meteorologists understands. It<br>
was acceptable at the beginning but the noaa strings after 600 were<br>
really starting to make me mad. Especially strings like &quot;Heavy Freezing<br>
Rain Rain&quot; and &quot;Thunderstorm Light Rain Hail Fog/Mist&quot;. Really? What \
are<br> your experiences with it? Do you think it&#39;s to complicated and it \
should<br> be simplified? How did you understand those complex strings?<br>
