Help gettext to differentiate between gerund and verb uses of "Downloading" and "Seeding"

[realplus]

There is a string "Downloading" occurs at

../gtk/details.c:563 ../gtk/filter.c:698 ../gtk/tr-prefs.c:1284

three places.

However, "Downloading" in gtk/tr-prefs.c is a noun for Download, while in gtk/filter.c and gtk/detail.c are referring as the "downloading" in "File is downloading now." That is a verb.

Many languages distinguishes verb and noun into different forms, for example, Chinese."Downloading" in gtk/tr-prefs.c is "下載", and the other is "正在下載"。

It is better to separate them into two individual ones. As far as I know, adding some comments in the translation template may make each of them as unique ones.

I agree with the goals of this ticket. realplus, if you want to submit a patch based off of svn trunk, I will happily use it.

Are these the only strings that need ungrouping?

[realplus]

"Seeding" need ungrouping too.

I am sorry that I don't know how to use svn and get the pot file. But I can point out how to edit the pot template file.

Before:

#: ../gtk/details.c:563
#: ../gtk/filter.c:698
#: ../gtk/tr-prefs.c:1284
msgid "Downloading"
msgstr ""

=> After:

#: ../gtk/details.c:563
#: ../gtk/filter.c:698
msgid "Downloading"
msgstr ""

#. heading in the preference
#: ../gtk/tr-prefs.c:1284
msgid "Downloading"
msgstr ""

Before:

#: ../gtk/details.c:565
#: ../gtk/filter.c:699
#: ../gtk/tr-prefs.c:347
msgid "Seeding"
msgstr ""

=> After:

#: ../gtk/details.c:565
#: ../gtk/filter.c:699
msgid "Seeding"
msgstr ""

#. heading in the preference
#: ../gtk/tr-prefs.c:347
msgid "Seeding"
msgstr ""

I wasn't sure how to do this, so for the benefit of my future self or anyone else who's interested, here are some breadcrumbs I found:
