securepoll - repeating messages

securepoll - repeating messages

These two messages have a rather long identical string that could be made into a separate message to avoid copying:

To maintain voter privacy, encrypted election records are only publically available when they can be shuffled with a secure random number stream.")

This is actually fine as it is.

May i ask why? Because it already caused inconsistent translation at least in two languages.

Combining multiple sentences into a paragraph is considered bad i18n practice.

I must be misunderstanding something.

Currently in each of these messages there are two sentences - a short one and a long one. The long one is identical.

Isn't repeating a long sentence in two separate messages a bad i18n practice?

My translations are not identical. I admit, this is due to historic reasons: translations were made independent of each other in two different years. Having them identical is not compelling, they say basically the same with different words and word orders.

Otherwise, I agree, in this particular instance, had I been the programmer, I had choosen to make it with 3 messages, though it's a matter of taste, imho.
