I have some difficulty translating the following texts into German. In German, adjectives like “hot” or “unread” change form depending on context, so one static %{filter} doesn’t work grammatically.
Are other languages affected too? @translators, how are you solving this in your language?
One idea I had was to add “all” to the strings where it’s currently missing in English - for example: “all %{filter} topics in %{category}”. But adding “all” everywhere might be overkill.
Here’s a table showing how the adjective endings change in German:
| %{filter} | “All %{filter} topics” | “%{filter} topics in %{category}” |
|---|---|---|
| latest | Alle aktuellen Themen | Aktuelle Themen in %{category} |
| top | Alle angesagten Themen | Angesagte Themen in %{category} |
| hot | Alle heißen Themen | Heiße Themen in %{category} |
| new | Alle neuen Themen | Neue Themen in %{category} |
| unread | Alle ungelesenen Themen | Ungelesene Themen in %{category} |
| unseen | Alle ungesehenen Themen | Ungesehene Themen in %{category} |
I also wondered if %{tags} in category_tag: always refers to more than one tag. In the lines above, %{tag} is used for a single tag, and %{tags} for multiple tags, but I didn’t find versions for a category and a single tag.
The strings I am talking about for reference
