[L10N] Kickoff of translation for Git 2.10.0 round 1

[L10N] Kickoff of translation for Git 2.10.0 round 1

[Jiang Xin]

Hi,

Git v2.10.0-rc0 has been released, and it's time to start new round of git l10n.
This time there are 248 updated messages need to be translated since last
update:

    l10n: git.pot: v2.10.0 round 1 (248 new, 56 removed)

    Generate po/git.pot from v2.10.0-rc0 for git v2.10.0 l10n round 1.

    Signed-off-by: Jiang Xin <worldhello.net@gmail.com>

You can get it from the usual place:

    https://github.com/git-l10n/git-po/

As how to update your XX.po and help to translate Git, please see
"Updating a XX.po file" and other sections in “po/README" file.

[Jean-Noël AVILA]

Hi all,

Before anyone tries to localize this round, I'd like to make some preliminary 
comments:

1.  In config.c, the changes to the function die_bad_number tried to flatten the 
translated strings (no message building logic). I think it went too far, and 
the reason of the failure can be factorized so that we don't have to 
retranslate each time. I might be wrong on this one, but I have no example of 
language where we would need differentiated error reasons.

2.  in sequencer.c, there is a mistake in the original string to translate 
"Cannot revert during a another revert"

3. git-rebase--interactive, in this_nth_commit_message and 
skip_nth_commit_message are not localizable, because the logic of declination 
of numeral attributes is in the code and is really oriented towards English 
and doesn't make sense for other languages (with 28 strings to translate !). 
In this case, I would suggest to step back and just have a single string per 
function.

If translators can quickly agree on these issues and maybe others I haven't 
seen, I can prepare a patch for review this weekend.

I do not have a strong opinion on this one.  I think it is an
attempt to avoid language-lego.

This should be corrected. Thanks for spotting.

As the "TRANSLATORS" comment alludes to, "This is the Nth thing" can
be rephrased to "This is the thing N" or "This is the thing #N"
easily, and if that form without ordinal is acceptable for many
languages, we should say that it is also OK in C-locale without
translation.  So I agree that the recent change was pointless (even
though the result may be localizable).

In an ideal world, I would imagine that this would be done by using
Q_("This is the first thing", "This is the thing #%d", nth) aka
ngettext, but

    (1) I haven't seen ngettext used from shell scripts; and

    (2) I do not think po files are set up to express "for this
        message, this language has 4 variants and here are the local
        rules to decide which one to use depending on the number,
        but the rules apply only to this message".  The Plural-Forms
        rule [*1*] seems to be global to a .po file, unfortunately.

so I do not think we cannot do it with ngettext().

No problem with the changes for blob, files, command line. It's just about 
dividing by two the number of strings to translate by factorizing "out of 
range" and "invalid unit", which are invariable anyway.

I also spotted a missing capitals. Will propose a patch.

There's a use_ngettext macro

Let's cut it like this : first ten are literally translated, the following ones 
fall back to a general rule. All languages are treated equally. With more than 
10 squashed commit, you no longer really care if the numbering is pedantically 
correct.

I agree with you.  It maybe not a good solution to expanded string "reason"
in commit 1b8132d:

    -       const char *reason = errno == ERANGE ?
    -                            "out of range" :
    -                            "invalid unit";

It's boring to translate all these 30 messages, I prefer #N like:

    gettext "The commit message #\${n} will be skipped:"
    gettext "This is the commit message #\${n}:"

I actually once wrote "It is rare to squash dozens of commits into
one, so the first ten or dozen messages that spell the ordinals out
may be a good thing for readability", in the message you are
responding to, before realizing that the messages actually say
"1st", "2nd", etc., not "first", "second", etc., and scrapped that
part of the response.  I do not really see much point in forcing the
first ten to be translated differently.

I _think_ most these are not typos and must stay as they are.  From
time to time we try to clean things up, cf. 8c3ca351 (config:
lower-case first word of error strings, 2016-04-09).

The removal of "a" from "a another reviert" is good.  If you are
fixing the cases, you would want to do the correction the other way.

In fact, taking some advance on the patch, I made the translations and used 
full words in the translated language.
By majority of repliers, let's just use a single sentence for each case "use" 
or "skip". 

Will rerun the patch set.

Subject: [PATCH] i18n: fix git rebase interactive commit messages
