           Summary: Country of Korea impossible to translate in libexiv2
                    (kipiplugins)
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: karl at huftis.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

There is a translation problem in libexiv2.

See the following source file:
http://lxr.kde.org/source//KDE/kdegraphics/libs/libkexiv2/libkexiv2/countryselector.cpp#164

164         countryCodeMap.insert( "PRK", i18n("Korea") );
165         countryCodeMap.insert( "KOR", i18n("Korea") );

This is impossible to correctly translate, as the string ‘Korea’ is used for
two different countries (PRK = North-Korea and KOR = South-Korea), but we (the
translators) only get one unique string to translate.

I guess it’s also very confusing in the UI, with two identical entries.

libkexiv2/altlangstredit.cpp also has a similar problem. There’s only one
string there (‘Korean (Korea)’), but no indication to the translators if it’s
North-Korea or South-Korea (it’s South-Korea).
