- Centralnotice-start-date (“
Start date (UTC)
”) - Centralnotice-end-date (“
End date (UTC)
”)
I want to know whether "date" contains "time" or not.
I think that should be divided into two separate messages (e.g. Centralnotice-start-date and Centralnotice-start-date-and-time).
See message documentation. In this use case, using time stamps actually makes sense.
The message documentation was written by me :)
In Japanese, "date", "time" and "timestamp" (time and date) should be differentiated.
- start date - 開始日
- start time - 開始時刻
- start timestamp - 開始日時
About Centralnotice-log-label (“<span class="cn-log-label">$1:</span> $2
”), if $2
is a timestamp, $1
should be "開始日時 (UTC)" not "開始日 (UTC)".
As message documentation says, Centralnotice-start-date (“Start date (UTC)
”) has two different usages.
About the first usage, Centralnotice-start-date (“Start date (UTC)
”) is followed by Centralnotice-start-time (“Start time (UTC)
”), so it refers date (without time).
Meanwhile, about the second usage, Centralnotice-start-date (“Start date (UTC)
”) is followed by a time stamp, so it refers date and time.
I want to translate the former into "開始日", and the latter into "開始日時".
Because "date" has two meanings, it is hard to translate into Japanese. The difference is whether "date" contains "time" or not.
- m:Special:CentralNotice - This "Start date" should be translated into "開始日時" (contains "time").
- m:Special:CentralNotice?method=listNoticeDetail - This "Start date" should be translated into "開始日" (it doesn't contain "time").
