Connection Type Translator Comments

jarolrod commented at 0:18 am on May 27, 2021: member

This PR introduces Qt translator comments for Connection Type strings in guiutil.cpp as well as rpcconsole.cpp.

This is an alternate implementation of the idea presented in the last three commits of #289. It is especially inspired by commit 842f4e834dfe5fd2786a5092f78ea28da1b36e4f.

Per Qt Dev Notes, it is better to not break up strings when not necessary. This way we preserve the full context for translators.

jarolrod renamed this:
~~qt: connection type translator comments~~

hebasto commented at 11:43 am on May 29, 2021:

For translators it is not obvious the information relayed through the network is related to blocks, transactions, addresses, and service needs (handshaking, ping etc). “only relays network information about Blocks” is not the same as “does not relay transactions or addresses” to them. Btw, the latter seems more correct as BLOCK_RELAY peers handle service network commands well.

jonatack commented at 4:17 pm on July 23, 2021:

Yes.

(It’s not clear to me what value these descriptions add, as they are next to descriptions that already exist.)

hebasto commented at 7:26 pm on July 25, 2021:

It’s not clear to me what value these descriptions add, as they are next to descriptions that already exist.

If understand your concern correctly, the point is that in Transifex.com on-line editor a translator can see only a translatable string and an attached comment, without surrounding code.

jonatack commented at 7:46 pm on July 25, 2021:

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

Thanks @jarolrod for reminding me to look at this.

shaavan commented at 4:01 pm on July 27, 2021: contributor

Concept ACK

I like the changes that are done here. They would very much help a translator to translate the strings with proper context correctly. However, I want to make some suggestions here:

In the Guiutil.cpp file in lines 675 to 677: It would help a translator if the meaning of inbound and outbound was briefly explained there.
In the rpconsole.cpp file at line number 494: It should be mentioned that the Outbound peer connection is temporary, as mentioned in line 491
