Kexi Translation Issues
-----------------------

Many things can be found here: http://i18n.kde.org/translation-howto/index.html


Additional guidelines:

#1. Let's not use "Do you really want" question. Use "Do you want" question instead.



#2. Try do not overuse html formatting tags like <qt>  in translated strings is you
do not need to. Eg. rather use 

  "<qt>" + i18n("Connection error: <b>%</b>") + "</qt>"

instead of 

  i18n("<qt>Connection error: <b>%</b></qt>");



#3. Use " instead of ' , ie.: 

  i18n("Object \"%1\" not found.") --GOOD

instead of :

  i18n("Object '%1' not found.") --BAD

Also, do not use <b> tags around "" ie. 

  i18n("Object <b>\"%1\"</b> not found.") --BAD
