1201: 'Top 10 Albums' translation is nonsense in my language
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2008 4:44 pm
Starting in some of 3.0.x builds, the "Top 10 Albums" section was introduced in Statistics Report.
To avoid string changes between minor releases, the new string was built simply by concatenating "Top" + "10" + "Albums" strings.
Unfortunately, the resulting string is absolutely nonsense in Portuguese. I guess this can happen in other languages too.
This is caused by the fact that expressions like "Top XX" don't have a literal translation in Portuguese.
When a string has a 'Top 10 something' part, I need to adapt it to something like '10 better/bigger/stronger/faster/whatever something' depending on the case.
Long story short: "Top 10 Albums" string needs to be added to translation pack.
