Make the deactivation checkbox translatable
Closed this issue · 1 comments
There is a string for the deactivation per post in the current pot
file:
Disable Lightbox on this %s
The problem is that each post type's name can be gendered in many languages. French and German are two examples. Depending on the gender of the post type – which is unknown for the translator – the this needs a different translation.
page
is female in German (Seite), post
is male (Beitrag). So the translation would be for:
page
: Die Lightbox für diese Seite abschalten.post
: Die Lightbox für diesen Beitrag abschalten.
I can just write Die Lightbox abschalten. This works, and it is clear enough. But I think it should be changed in the original string too, because other translators might run into the same problem.
I think the simpler string should be clear enough and avoid these issues in other languages. If that seems like it'll work, I'll go ahead and close this out.
