Walkthrough

This change updates UI and message strings to improve translation handling and simplifies result message assembly. In the UI .ui file, several static strings and placeholders are annotated with notr="true". In proposal creation, plural-aware formatting is used for ETA minutes and combo item text generation is adjusted. In governance voting, the result summary is refactored to linearly build a message that conditionally includes success counts, failure counts, and error details. No new UI elements, business logic, or public interfaces are introduced.

430-430: Consider whether "TxID:" should be translatable.

The label "TxID:" is marked with notr="true". While technical terms are often kept in English, some translation systems prefer to localize technical UI labels for consistency with the rest of the interface. This is a design decision.

If you decide "TxID:" should be translatable, remove the notr="true" attribute:

-<string notr="true">TxID:</string>
+<string>TxID:</string>

🔇 Additional comments (7)

src/qt/proposalwizard.cpp (3)

63-63: LGTM! Numbers should not be translated.

The change from tr("%1").arg(i) to QString().setNum(i) correctly removes translation wrapping from numeric values, which should never be translated.

---

293-294: LGTM! Proper Qt pluralization.

The change to tr("Estimated time remaining: %n minute(s)", "", mins) correctly uses Qt's plural-aware formatting with the %n placeholder, enabling proper translations for different plural forms across languages.

---

324-325: LGTM! Correctly separates translatable from non-translatable text.

The change separates the translatable success message from the technical ID by concatenating tr("Your proposal was submitted successfully.") with QString("\nID: %1").arg(govId). This prevents the ID from being included in translation strings where it doesn't belong.

src/qt/forms/proposalwizard.ui (3)

113-113: LGTM! Example placeholders should not be translated.

Correctly marking placeholder text like "short-unique-name" and "https://example.com/my-proposal" with notr="true" as these are examples that should remain consistent across all languages.

Also applies to: 139-139

---

258-258: LGTM! Numbers should not be translated.

Correctly marking the numeric value "0" with notr="true" as numbers should not be translated.

---

345-345: LGTM! Placeholder indicators should not be translated.

Correctly marking the placeholder indicator "-" with notr="true" as these are UI placeholders that should remain consistent across languages.

Also applies to: 440-440, 664-664

src/qt/governancelist.cpp (1)

598-609: LGTM! Proper pluralization and clearer message construction.

The changes correctly implement:

1. Qt's plural-aware formatting with %n for both success and failure counts
2. Linear message assembly using += operator
3. More explicit condition checking (nSuccessful > 0 instead of !message.isEmpty())
4. Proper separation of translatable text ("Errors:") from non-translatable content (error details)

This enables proper translations for different plural forms across languages.
