Translation: Reduce translation effort for similar strings for themes and plugins #107

These could be combined to something like: / Translators: %s will be "themes" or "plugins" / pintf( 'Selected %s will no longer be auto-updates', 'themes' )

thanx for the feedback, much appreciated!

BTW, could you also look at https://github.com/WordPress/wp-autoupdates/pull/103#issuecomment-623757089?

pedro-mendonca commented 4 years ago

Not sure if it's a good idea. Might be a language where the translation is different (eg.: different genre)

ePascalC commented 4 years ago

@pedro-mendonca thanks for the remark. In French: Theme is male and Plugin is female and it works out well. In the European languages I know, this would not generate any issues. Do you know any that could generate the issue you describe?

pedro-mendonca commented 4 years ago

No, I can only speak for portuguese where both are male and it's not a problem.

audrasjb commented 4 years ago

@ePascalC If I'm not wrong, at least in French there will actually be a problem. Themes: Les %s sélectionnés seront mis à jour automatiquement Plugins: Les %s sélectionnées seront mises à jour automatiquement

@audrasjb You are right !!! and so was @pedro-mendonca Can a issue be 'closed as stupid' ?

audrasjb commented 4 years ago

Ah ah 🤗

pbiron commented 4 years ago

I don't see "stupid" in the available labels, so I chose "Invalid" :-)
