To translate or not to translate

[Member RJP]

There is some stings like <b>${look_feel} </b>” , so should they be translated or not?

An another example: “${add_remove_main_button}!!”

Hello,

When there is a “$” sign in front of a line, there is no need to translate. It is a kind of variable.

Kind regards,
Wallon

Any string of text (not necessary just the start of a line) that starts with $ is a variable – NEVER translate variable names, it will break the localized version of the application.
In this particular case, those last lines, containing just variables, were included in the localization file by mistake.

Note: by the way- never correct !!, it may also refere to the contents of a field. If there are several exclamation points, keep the same exact number of exclamation points in the translation.

Wow, I did not know the package was already available, many thanks, anticapitalista!

PS: I just tested it. I’m not impartial, but I think ft10’s debinstaller is better localized (at least in pt), offers a cleaner window (always displaying the package’s description), also offers a cleaner way to enter the user’s password (via gksu), and a way to uninstall the package if it’s already installed (so it’ both a semi-gui installed and un-installer). For some reason, in antiX 19 (where I tested it), MX’s deb-installer does not appear in the list of apps that handle .deb files, I mean, does not appear in the list at all, I have to mannually add “deb-installer” as an option to launch .deb files!

Anyway, it’s good to have a GUI for that, once again, I hope it comes by default in antiX 23! For all other versions, may I suggest putting it in Package Installer?

P.

Edit- by the way – I just noticed I posted the previous message on the wrong thread! It should have been in https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/libreoffice-latest-anyone/ (Sorry!!! I had both post on different tabs!)

anticapitalista, what repository contains the package “deb-installer”? I’m currently using antiX 22, and there is no such package in any of the enabled repositories here. I also did a network search for deb-installer and it references many different methods to install .deb packages, none of which are named deb-installer.

Was this a typo, or is it a new tool for the upcoming release? It’s certainly NOT a well advertised tool, so I’d appreciate an explanation of what you are referring to here. Thanks!

@masinick – it’s in testing/sid at the moment.
I’ll make builds for antiX-22 and antiX-19
