In [
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/blob/HEAD:/src/chrome/locale/en/aboutTor.dtd#l26]
aboutTor.dtd one can currently find:
{{{
<!-- Note to translators: the following 18 entities are used to construct
a
- sentence (either the SP or DDG entities are used, but not both at the
- same time). In English, the sentence reads:
- Search securely with Startpage.
- or:
- Search securely with DuckDuckGo.
- The sentence contains two embedded links for "securely" and
- the search engine ("Startpage" or "DuckDuckGo").
-->
}}}
That's really, really not the way to do it. Isn't there an equivalent to
sprintf for
Firefox extensions?
The following strings can't be translated properly with Transifex:
{{{
<!ENTITY aboutTor.searchSP.privacy.beforeLink.label "Search ">
<!ENTITY aboutTor.searchDDG.privacy.beforeLink.label "Search ">
<!ENTITY aboutTor.searchSP.search.beforeLink.label "with ">
<!ENTITY aboutTor.searchDDG.search.beforeLink.label "with ">
}}}
The ending space is invisible in any graphical translator (e.g. Transifex,
our recommended tool for translators). :(
