[17:11] <don_miguel_el_un> hello
[17:11] <don_miguel_el_un> Rinchen, cxu vi cxeestas?
[17:11] <Rinchen> I am!
[17:11] <Rinchen> Jes!
[17:11] <Rinchen> kaj ankau #launchpad
[17:11] <don_miguel_el_un> mi havas demandojn pri tradukado
[17:12] <don_miguel_el_un> cxu gravas kie mi demandas?
[17:12] <Rinchen> demandu! :-)
[17:12] <don_miguel_el_un> unue, cxu oni povas alglui la N-finajxojn al cxenoj? Ekzemple: "Fiaskis ruli %sn"
[17:13]  * bigjools blinks
[17:14] <don_miguel_el_un> aux eble tiu malordigas la interpretilon.. ? :)
[17:17]  * Rinchen is on the phone and delayed in responding)
[17:18] <Rinchen> re: N-finajxojn,  mi jxus nun sendis email-n al vi
[17:20] <don_miguel_el_un> dankon.. sed cxu vi opninias ke gxi eblus malordigi la interpretilon?
[17:22] <Rinchen> jes, gxi malordigas gxin.
[17:23] <don_miguel_el_un> fek. :( alia solvo estus uzi na "na" antaux fremdaj vortoj.. sed mi kredas ke multaj homoj ne aprezus gxin...
[17:23] <Rinchen> eeww  "na"
[17:23] <don_miguel_el_un> voilà :)
[17:24] <Rinchen> :-)
[17:24] <don_miguel_el_un> mi tamen opinias ke tiu estus plej eleganta solvo...
[17:26] <don_miguel_el_un> mia lasta demando estas, se oni uzas "ne eblAS .. " aux "ne eblIS fari blalbabla"
[17:27] <Rinchen> mi preferas "as".
[17:27] <Rinchen> ne eblas.....
[17:28] <don_miguel_el_un> mi ankaux.. estas pli gxenerale..
[17:28] <don_miguel_el_un> dankon pro viaj respondoj!
[17:33] <Rinchen> mia plezuro
[17:34] <Rinchen> bonvenon al la temon (aux temo ;-)
[17:34] <don_miguel_el_un> dankon (teamo) :)
[17:34] <Rinchen> hehe
[17:44] <don_miguel_el_un> why is in english every string in such `weird' `quotes that dont match'?
[17:46] <Rinchen> don_miguel_el_un, depends :-)  In Translations?
[17:46] <Rinchen> do you have an example
[17:46] <don_miguel_el_un> unable to write updated status of `%.250s'
[17:46] <don_miguel_el_un> `' < this pair is weird :)
[17:46] <Rinchen> interesting. do you have a url?
[17:48] <don_miguel_el_un> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/dpkg/+pots/dpkg/eo/+translate?start=40
[17:48] <don_miguel_el_un> it's always like that..
[17:49] <don_miguel_el_un> it's just the way all the messages are written.. did you never notice?
[17:49] <don_miguel_el_un> but the official esperanto quotes are a pair. either "bla" or 'bla'
[17:53] <don_miguel_el_un> another thing: if '%s' works, why should %sn not work?... I would have guessed that the %-operator concerns the next character only.. where would I find information about that? i was looking for it already, but I found nothing..
[17:55] <don_miguel_el_un> if you take a look at number 51., the n is in another font as %.250s https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/dpkg/+pots/dpkg/eo/51/+translate
