Refactor "toot" and "post" to reflect nouns and verbs #129

Closed vollkorntomate closed 1 year ago

vollkorntomate commented 2 years ago

Summary

I refactored the usage of the string "toot" and "post" and split them into separate localization keys "toot.action" and "toot.noun" ("post.action"/"post.noun"), since it wasn't flexible enough to handle both the action of tooting/posting as well as the noun/object of a toot/post. This caused many translations to use the same word for both things, resulting in wrong grammar.

Since (of the existing translations) I only know German, English, French and Spanish, the other translations might be inaccurate and need fixing.

Would you mind changing this to limit the scope to just changing the keys and submit updated strings at https://crowdin.com/project/metatext instead? I will get around to adding InfoPlist.strings there soon as well, thanks for bringing that to my attention

I updated the PR to only change the "toot" and "post" word usage, and fixed the translations for German in the Crowdin project, just like you suggested.
