Change requested in "not %s" string in nvda.po #2235

Closed nvaccessAuto closed 9 years ago

nvaccessAuto commented 12 years ago

Reported by td.dinakar on 2012-04-10 14:14 We are using the "not %s" sring in nvda.po for "not selected" and "not checked". Since Tamil language has one common word for both "not" and "no", translation of this "not %s" string is not conveying the correct meaning. In Tamil, the word "not" has to merge with the word "selected" and "checked" to form one single word so that it can convey the correct meaning. Further, the translation of the strings "selected" and "checked" too have to be modified to bring some meaning to "not selected" and "not checked" strings.

It is, therefore, suggested that two separate strings can be used in nvda.po; one for "not selected" and another for "not checked".

Kindly consider my above suggestion.

Thanks,

DINAKAR

Comment 1 by jteh on 2012-04-12 04:00 Technical: This requires another dict in controlTypes containing labels for states that are negated. It only needs to contain states that are commonly reported when negated; e.g. selected and checked.

Comment 3 by jteh on 2012-04-16 23:33 Looks pretty good to me, but a few comments:

There is stuff in this patch that I don't think you meant to include: first hunk in braille.py, hunks 2 and 3 in speech.py.
I'm wondering whether the negative state label for focused is really needed. I've never heard NVDA say "not focused", though it's possible in the code. However, if the focused state goes away, the focus should normally have moved by then, so it won't be heard.

Comment 4 by jteh on 2012-04-16 23:35 Also, I'm guessing the negativeStateLabels need translator comments. I realise we don't have them elsewhere in controlTypes, but my understanding was that all new strings should have translator comments.

Comment 6 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 5) on 2012-04-18 16:17 Thanks friend. The problem was only withthe two strings "not selected" and "not checked". It should be OK now.
