"Light" is used for both leveller and theme name

Post by scootergrisen » Mon Sep 04, 2017 6:53 pm

Using the name "Let" does not work for a theme name in my language.
I want to use "Lys".

So i suggest splitting up this translation so there is two "Light". One for leveller and one for the theme name.

Code: Select all

#. i18n-hint: Of strength of an effect.  Not strongly.
#: src/effects/Leveller.cpp:41 src/prefs/GUIPrefs.cpp:95
msgid "Light"
msgstr "Let"
And place the string with the other theme names.

Code: Select all

#: src/prefs/GUIPrefs.cpp:94
msgid "Classic"
msgstr "Klassisk"

#: src/prefs/GUIPrefs.cpp:96
msgid "Dark"
msgstr "Mørk"

Hi scootergrisen,

Are you saying that the same translation of "Light" is used in both places? If so, then I think best to use the translation that is right for the Theme. The "Leveller is no longer enabled by default in Audacity and should be removed. To be honest, I'd forgotten that it was still there.

Thanks for asking about it. I've posted to the developer's mailing list to suggest that Leveller should be removed from the code (at a suitable time, which is probably not now as we are so close to releasing 2.2.0).
