Description

I translate Tor Project on Transifex.

The string “default:LTR” on Transifex have no comments on how to translate it.

Its used in ​https://git-tails.immerda.ch/greeter/tree/tailsgreeter/language.py?h=feature/stretch#n119 but i dont know if this is the offical code.

So maybe add coment like:
Translate to either “default:LTR” or “default:RTL” depending on your language text direction… or something like that.
So the commect will end up on Transifex so people can know how to translte the string.

Transifex says:
Occurrences: ../tailsgreeter/language.py:119
Resource: Tails - tails-greeter-2.pot

Agreed. Currently no PO file we’ve imported from Transifex has default:RTL, while clearly some languages need it, if I got this piece of code right.
So I’ve added a note for translators in the source code, updated the PO files and pushed to Git, so it should appear in Transifex (assuming Transifex supports comments) shortly :)
