Hi,

I am trying to complete RT3.8’s French translation. I am a bit puzzled
by some sentence constructs.

Can someone confirm my suggestions would make better sense.

Sorry if this is the wrong list.

Regards,

#: etc/initialdata:356 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:85
msgid “Notify Owner of their rejected ticket”

=> “Notify Owner of his rejected ticket”

#: etc/initialdata:369 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:98
msgid “Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved and is ready to
be acted on”

=> “Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved and is ready to be
acted on”

#: lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Created.pm:57 lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Passed.pm:55
msgid “Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved by some or all
approvers”

=> “Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved by some or all approvers”

#: etc/initialdata:342 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:71
msgid “Notify Requestor of their ticket has been approved by all approvers”

=> “Notify Requestor that his ticket has been approved by all approvers”

#: etc/initialdata:328 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:57
msgid “Notify Requestor of their ticket has been approved by some approver”

=> “Notify Requestor that his ticket has been approved by some approver”

Hello Erwan,

I am not native englisch speaker but…

#: etc/initialdata:356 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:85
msgid “Notify Owner of their rejected ticket”

The mix up sungular with pluriel…

=> “Notify Owner of his rejected ticket”

or is it: “Notify Owners of their rejected tickets”

To clarify it, you need the context.

#: etc/initialdata:369 etc/upgrade/3.8.2/content:98
msgid “Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved and is ready to
be acted on”

=> “Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved and is ready to be
acted on”

or: “Notify Owner if his ticket has been approved and is ready to be acted on”

#: lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Created.pm:57 lib/RT/Approval/Rule/Passed.pm:55
msgid “Notify Owner of their ticket has been approved by some or all
approvers”

=> “Notify Owner that his ticket has been approved by some or all approvers”

Maybe: “Notify Owner if his ticket has been approved by some or all approvers”

…

It seems that the original english version has to be proofread.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Sorry, I have to jump in to say that, while the sentences could perhaps
be cleaner, they are perfectly good English. Translate at will.

In recent times “their” has been used in English for gender
neutrality. It’s not considered completely proper, but it’s very common.
