| Summary | 0010420: Variables should not be translated on Weblate | ||||
| Description | For the Android wallet app, we find the two variables %1$s × %2$s in a string to translate on Weblate (see https://weblate.gnunet.org/translate/gnu-taler/wallet-android/en/?checksum=3f0518f73d0b67ba). The result is going to get stored in the translation files under wallet/src/main/res/values-*/strings.xml as string 167. Normally, those variables should not be internationalised as they are not meant to be translated. They stay the same in any language, right? So, please take down the tags in the code-base that indicate for translation - before some over-eager translators try to find their own interpretations of what to translate here for %1$s × %2$s and do a mess out of the app. Only if there are alt texts or explanatations of variables like e.g. the source string description (here: <quantity> × <price>) that need to be translated an i18n would make sense. | ||||
