[bug-idutils] idutils-4.2.fi.po msgid bug

[Jorma Karvonen]

Hello,

There is a bug with the following idutils msgids:

#: src/fid.c:93 src/fnid.c:83 src/lid.c:287 src/mkid.c:178 src/xtokid.c:87
#, c-format
msgid ""
"\n"
"Report bugs to "
msgstr ""

#: src/fid.c:93 src/fnid.c:83 src/lid.c:287 src/mkid.c:178 src/xtokid.c:87
#, c-format
msgid ""
"\n"
"\n"
msgstr ""

Bug line is

printf (_("\nReport bugs to " PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "\n\n"));

Localizing of that msgid is unsuccessful

I fixed the bug temporarily with two printf lines:

printf (_("\nReport bugs to "));
printf ( PACKAGE_BUGREPORT"\n\n");

After that workaround "\nReport bugs to " line is localizing correctly.

There are also some msgids that could be changed a bit to make
translations easier and better:

#: src/fid.c:249
#, c-format
msgid "`%s' not found"
msgstr ""

should be better as:

#: src/fid.c:249
#, c-format
msgid "argument `%s' not found"
msgstr ""

Some other msgids are also a bit too prudent:

#: libidu/idread.c:49 src/mkid.c:485 src/xtokid.c:229
#, c-format
msgid "can't open `%s'"
msgstr ""

... open file ,,,


#: libidu/idread.c:70
#, c-format
msgid "`%s' is version %d, but I only grok version %d"
msgstr ""

Translators would appreciate, if there were a comment explaining what is "grok"

#: libidu/walker.c:673
#, c-format
msgid "can't chdir to `%s'"
msgstr ""

#: libidu/walker.c:678
#, c-format
msgid "can't chdir to `%s' from `%s'"
msgstr ""

...to directory ... and ... from directory ..., I suppose.

#: libidu/walker.c:739
#, c-format
msgid "can't lstat `%s' from `%s'"
msgstr ""

#: libidu/walker.c:747
#, c-format
msgid "can't stat `%s' from `%s'"
msgstr ""

here also, ..from where... ?

also, translators do not always know by heart if lstat, stat, chdir,
fork and exec are functions or standalone programs.

#: src/mkid.c:386
#, c-format
msgid "can't create `%s' in `%s'"
msgstr ""

... create what ... in where ..

#: src/mkid.c:391
#, c-format
msgid "can't modify `%s'"
msgstr ""

.. modify what... a file?

#: src/mkid.c:590
#, c-format
msgid "Writing `%s'...\n"
msgstr ""

... writing file or files ?

#: src/mkid.c:593
#, c-format
msgid "can't create `%s'"
msgstr ""

...create a file ?

#: src/mkid.c:661
#, c-format
msgid "error closing `%s'"
msgstr ""

... closing a file?

Best regards,
