Fwd: Amarok questions

[Kevin Scannell]

Hello Amarok developers,

   I'm the Irish translator for KDE and I am trying to finish up the
Amarok translation for the next release.   Forwarding below a message
I posted to kde-i18n-doc in the hope that some context might be added
to some of these strings in the source to help translators.   Also it
appears that some strings may need to be pluralized.

Thanks
Kevin

I'm seeing some problems in amarok.po; hoping for clarifications from
the developers or other translators.

What does the %1 stand for here?

#: core-impl/collections/ipodcollection/handler/IpodHandler.cpp:363
#, kde-format
msgid "%1 the iPod Model is necessary to initialize the iPod"
msgstr ""

(similar issue with nearby strings).


I see several places where a variable seems like it should stand for a
number, but the string isn't a plural form string:


#: core-impl/collections/mediadevicecollection/handler/MediaDeviceHandler.cpp:597
#, kde-format
msgid "%1 tracks are already being deleted from the device."
msgstr ""


(or maybe it's not a number? if so, what is it?)

Same thing here:

#: databaseimporter/amarok14/FastForwardWorker.cpp:272
#, kde-format
msgid "Adding <b>%1 new tracks</b> to Amarok collection <b>%2</b>."
msgstr ""

...

#: databaseimporter/amarok14/FastForwardWorker.cpp:438
#, kde-format
msgid "Updating cached lyrics and labels for %1 tracks..."
msgstr "Liricí agus lipéid i dtaisce á nuashonrú le haghaidh %1 amhrán..."


...


#: databaseimporter/amarok14/FastForwardWorker.cpp:514
#, kde-format
msgid "Copied %1 cover images."
msgstr "Cóipeáladh %1 íomhá chlúdaigh."




Finally, there are two plural form strings which might need fixing:

#: core-impl/collections/ipodcollection/handler/IpodHandler.cpp:653
#, kde-format
msgctxt "@info"
msgid "One stale track removed from the database. Scan for orphaned tracks?"
msgid_plural "%1 tracks removed from the database. Scan for orphaned tracks?"

and


#: core-impl/collections/ipodcollection/handler/IpodHandler.cpp:2286
#, kde-format
msgctxt "@info"
msgid "One orphaned track added to the database."
msgid_plural "%1 tracks added to the database."



Note in the plural forms that the words "stale" and "orphaned" are missing.

Thanks
Kevin
