Subject: bug#69995: Untranslatable string
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 15:02:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <26113.33789.64296.447931@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
While translating the new version of coreutils to Swedish, I came
across this code from the end of chown-core.h:
printf (_("\
--from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP\n\
change the %sgroup of each file only if\n\
its current owner and/or group match those specified\n\
here. Either may be omitted, in which case a match\n\
is not required for the omitted attribute\n\
"), user ? "owner and/or " : "");
As this stands, the part "owner and/or " will not be translated.
Simply marking that part too for translation is not a good solution, even
if it would happen to work for Swedish. See
