Translators may provide below in comments their issues with precise description (where/what [in UI and PO messages], and what are the different meanings behind same English word that are the problem).
Solution (or not :/ ) will then be decided on a case by case basis (using an existing i18n context, adding new ones, or simply tweaking original UI message).
Current Known Issues
Addressed issues will be erased after every release to clean up things…
From @Gabriel Gazzán (gab3d):
- Mirror meaning either: 'a symmetry related thing' or 'the reflective property of a material'. Cannot find any case of Mirror in material context, is that still relevant?
- Volume meaning either: 'volume of some 3D entity' or 'volumetrics, in general' (or 'sound volume' which I know is already independent).
- Smooth meaning either: 'something is smooth' or 'to smooth something'.
- Upper/Lower meaning either: 'an upper/lowercase key' or 'a upper/lower limit for a property'.
- World meaning either: 'the virtual 3D universe itself' (like in: "world coordinates") or 'the visible environment around the scene'.
- Front/Back meaning either: 'put something at the front/back' or 'the front/back face of something'. (perfect example of this is seen in the Empty Image options, you have Depth and Side, both using the same stringsfor their options, which shouldn't happen)
- Pixel Size meaning either: 'the size of the pixel' or 'a size measured using pixels as the unit'.
- Strip meaning either: 'a sequencer strip' or 'a hair shape type'.
- Twist meaning either: 'a verb, like in a operator/modifier name' or 'a name, like in particle's twist property'.
- Open meaning either: 'a verb, like in a operator/modifier name' or 'something that is opened, like smoke domain borders'.
- Path meaning either: 'the location of an archive on disk or a blender datablock' or 'the trajectory of a particle/object'.
- Ease Out meaning either: 'Roll/Scale/Ease Out of B-Bones' or 'the direction of a Wipe transition in the video sequencer'.
- Ease In meaning either: 'Ease In of B-Bones' or 'animation Ease In'.
