<br>
As a language with poor morphology, English sometimes does not<br>
distinguish verbs from nouns. Filter, Upload, Archive, Link, Update,<br>
Post... and many other words that are used in Drupal. Other languages<br>
are a more morphology-heavy and when we translate Drupal to other<br>
languages this ambiguity may be a problem. Take Upload, for instance.<br>
There is a button "Upload", but there is also a module "Upload".<br>
There's the need to use different words.<br>
<br>
It's not an exclusivity for noun/verbs, though. "Order" is one thing<br>
in Views, and another thing in Ubercart. The shorter the string, the<br>
easier it is to exist this kind of ambiguity.<br>
<br>
There is already the use in Drupal core of string context. The blank<br>
variable in "!long-month-name May" is used distinguish "May" in the<br>
series "January, February.." to "May" in the series "Jan, Feb...".<br>
This very pattern could be used elsewhere: "!noun Filter" would be<br>
different from "!verb Filter", so that we could translate "Filtro" and<br>
"Filtrar", respectively, or "Filter" and "filtern".<br>
<br>
What do you think? Is this a good approach or something more radical<br>
should be done to support contexts? Perhaps a fourth symbol -<br>
#context, instead of "!, @, %" , to make it mor organized? There is<br>
still time to fix Drupal 7.<br>
<br>
See you,<br>
