%'.0f bytes ->Translation?

Asked by Stephan Woidowski

Hi,

my question is, as these chars are upcoming a lot of times, how can these be translated without getting any msg-error given by launchpad?

I hope this is the right way to ask this here. :)

Yours

Stephan

When do you see them?
Which release of Ubuntu are you using?
Is it fully updated?
Does the system work OK despite the message?

It's here on this page. I'm working with the team on the new translation of Ubuntu e17 package and this term should be translated into german language. Unfortunately i can't do this because the translated term gives me the error message above. So i think it has to do something with launchpad.

That's the reason i didn't create a bug report and tried it here

The reference to the source http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/e17/vivid/view/head:/src/bin/e_utils.c#L859

shows that the original text is

if (dsize < 1024) snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), _("%'.0f KiB"), dsize);

and similar.

So I assume that the only needed translation is for the part KiB (if that needs translation at all - like octets instead of bytes in French).
Maybe you have to reverse the transcription of &#x27; back into '
