Fragment of a discussion from Translating talk:MediaWiki/LiquidThreads
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".
Have a look. What is wrong?
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").
