[Bug 570206] Re: Messages need to be changed for proper translation

[Hendrik Knackstedt]

This was reported for Lucid. The strings changed since that time. It is
still not the best possible solution in the current Ubuntu version but
the translation is understandable and correct.

Since this will not be fixed for Lucid anyway I am closing this bug.

** Changed in: ubuntu-translations

Title:
  Messages need to be changed for proper translation

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Strings affected:

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubiquity/+pots/ubiquity-debconf/de/9/+translate
  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubiquity/+pots/ubiquity-debconf/de/12/+translate

  Since the grammatical gender of ${MEDIUM} differs depending on the
  medium, a proper translation into German (and most probably also all
  other languages with different grammatical genders) is currently
  impossible. Our "solution" was to provide two alternatives for the
  pronoun, as you see, but this looks very ugly and has already been
  reported by several users.

  For a proper translation, we’d need one translatable string per
  medium.
