Translation problem with oledb32

[Julian Rüger]

Hi everyone!

I stumbled upon a small problem while translating the not-quite-recent
oledb32 changes:

#: version.rc:92 winemine.rc:65
msgid "Advanced"
msgstr "Fortgeschrittene"

That translation makes sense for winemine, but the correct translation
for oledb32 would be "Erweitert". That however would sound very weird in
winemine, especially if I don't change the other difficulty strings as
well.

In fact, I can't come up with something that fits in both cases without
sounding weird. Is it possible to split this into two separate msgids?

Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Hi Julian!

This can be done with contexts, e.g. search for:
msgctxt "home page"
in de.po and you will find two spots, see how it is handled in dlls/ieframe/ieframe.rc then:
IDS_TB_HOME             "#msgctxt#home page#Home"

André to the rescue! ;)

Thanks for the pointer!

I found the relevant part of the wiki page (Translating), but just for
clarification:

Does the #msgctxt have to be added to both .rc files?
The "make depend" is obsolete, right? I don't have to run a script or
command to regenerate the po files, normal build (in maintainer mode)
will suffice?

I'll have to test it anyway, just don't have a build environment atm. I
tried to avoid a full blown WoW64 build with lxc and so on, it built but
does not run...

Well, off I go then...

Best,
Julian
