Re: New Spanish PO file for 'shepherd' (version 0.3.3-pre1)

Dear Francisco & Spanish translation team,

This po file is bogus in several ways.  Here are a few examples:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#: modules/shepherd/comm.scm:178
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "service '~a' does not have an action '~a'"
msgstr "El grupo no tiene administradores."

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:85
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  It is started.~%"
msgstr "No Comenzado"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:86
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  Running value is ~s.~%"
msgstr "%s está ejecutando %s versión %s"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:87
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  It is stopped.~%"
msgstr "Detenido:\n"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:89
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  It is enabled.~%"
msgstr "activado"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:90
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  It is disabled.~%"
msgstr "Desactivado;"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:91
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  Provides ~a.~%"
msgstr "proporciona"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:92
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  Requires ~a.~%"
msgstr "%s requiere un nombre de datos"

#: modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm:93
#, fuzzy, scheme-format
msgid "  Conflicts with ~a.~%"
msgstr "tiene conflictos con"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Several issues here: escapes like ~a are sometimes removed or replaced
with invalid escapes such as %s (both of which would make the program
crash), translations are sometimes downright wrong, spaces,
capitalization, or periods are sometimes garbled, etc.

What happened?  Could you provide an updated po file?

If you think some of the strings need clarifications, we’re happy to
help as well.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
