Well that makes sense to me, but I see Daisy has responded with the opposite suggestion. Maybe it could be discussed at the next i18n team meeting?

In my opinion, the punctuation needs to be "inside" the translatable string, because they differ depending on the language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation Some languages have completely different characters for the punctuation: http://www.wintranslation.com/articles/foreign-language-typesetting/dtp-punctuation/ So "All that is part of the message/sentence" sent to the user needs to be translatable. So thanks Douglas for this question, It looks like I have to add this there: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/i18n_translatable_strings https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/I18n/TranslatableStrings Do you agree with that? -- Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis _______________________________________________ Openstack-i18n mailing list Openstack-i18n at lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-i18n
