Hello.


I have a question about the KIO jobs (Marked with @title job), I've seen a
string in the Plasma notifications saying something like "[job] finished".

The problem is that the job title is translated and the finished word
isn't, Which made the string half translated.

I would like to ask about the tense the jobs are.


Also don't you see that splitting strings is a bad idea? Each language has
it's own rules and should be treated separately. In Gnome there is a
guideline that the developers must never split sentences:
https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Never%20split%20sentences

There were a discussion about a string in the Gnome software center "%d
software, %d addons", And the developer don't know what to do because of
the guideline. I'm giving Gnome as an example only.


Best Regards,

Safa
