Comment (by humdinger):
Thanks John. I suspect it's not *only* German translations... :)
It looks like you always replaced "%toDoAction" with "%toConfirmAction",
see:
{{{
@@ -638,21 +633,22 @@ ConfirmChangeIfWellKnownDirectory(const BEntry
*entry, const char *ifYouDoAction
if (DirectoryMatchesOrContains(entry, B_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY)) {
warning.SetTo(
B_TRANSLATE("If you %ifYouDoAction the system
folder or its "
- "contents, you won't be able to boot " OS_NAME "!
Are you sure you "
- "want to do this? To %toDoAction the system folder
or its contents "
- "anyway, hold down the Shift key and click \"Do
it\"."));
+ "contents, you won't be able to boot Haiku! Are
you sure you "
+ "want to do this? To %toConfirmAction the system
folder or its "
+ "contents anyway, hold down the Shift key and
click "
+ "\"%toConfirmAction\"."));
}}}
I think the "%toConfirmAction" should only be used for the button label:
{{{
B_TRANSLATE("If you %ifYouDoAction the system folder or its "
"contents, you won't be able to boot " OS_NAME "! Are you sure you
"
"want to do this? To %toDoAction the system folder or its contents
"
"anyway, hold down the Shift key and click
\"%toConfirmAction\"."));
}}}
BTW, even after having PulkoMandy try to explain things to me, I have the
hardest time creating the catalogs/catkeys files to create a sample
translation to test this without having to commit and have conveniently
BOM/HTA help with that...
