Translation String Options dialog
The Translation String Options dialog sets the options for a translation entry. To open it,
double-click a translation entry or click the Add Empty String button on the Translations pane.
For information about template translation, see "Translating templates" on page936.
l String:
l Source: This is the text that will be presented to the translator, and that will be
replaced with a translation when OL Connect generates output from the template. It
is case-sensitive.
When a new translation entry is created by tagging an HTML element for translation
(see "Tagging elements for translation" on page938), the text of that element gets
copied to this field.
l Context (optional): Describe where the source text is used, for example: "This text
is in the head of a table", or "Table|Head", to help the translator make the best
choice when the source text appears more than once and should be translated
differently in different locations.
The description is added to the <data-translate> attribute of the HTMLelement in
which the source text is located, as its value, for example: <data-translate="Table">.
Note that a translation will only be applied if the value of the <data-translate>
attribute of the respective HTML element is exactly the same as the given Context
(case-sensitive).
l Pluralization: Check this option to make it possible for the translator to enter (text with)
plurals. See "Pluralization" on page941.
Note
The Singular and Plural given in this dialog are only used when there is no .po file
that matches the locale.
l Singular: Enter the text to use when the value of the selected data field is 1.
l Plural: Enter the text to use when the value of the selected data field is not 1.
l Data field: Select a data field that contains a numerical value. It depends on the
value in this field whether the singular or plural is used.
