#3190: bad string concatenation for translators
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
Reporter: dsd | Owner: godiard
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer | Milestone: Unspecified by Release Team
Component: Finance | Version: Unspecified
Severity: Unspecified | Keywords:
Distribution: Unspecified | Status_field: Unconfirmed
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
finance.py:update_toolbar() creates the "This month" label for a toolbar
button based on concatenation of two translated strings.
This won't work for languages that put the words in a different order, and
also it's already broken which has "Esto Mes" (this month) and "Esto
Semana" (this week) - both are wrong.
"Esto" only means "this" in a neutral context where there is no noun
(which has a gender). When there is a noun, as there is here, the
translation of "this" varies. In this case the correct translations would
be "Esta semana" and "Este mes". It isn't possible to produce these
correct translations with the current scheme.
