An incorrect translation on the window title

Post by IIoo »

I found there are an incorrect translation on the window title when drop file from Host system to Guest system.
Related translation file is vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/nls/VirtualBox_zh_CN.ts
On line 5922 of this file:

Code: Select all

    <message>
        <source>Dropping data ...</source>
        <translation>丢弃数据...</translation>
    </message>
“Dropping data ...” in this case should be translated as "拖放数据" or more appropriate words. Because "丢弃数据" means "remove data" or "delete data". This is not right.
It should be

Code: Select all

    <message>
        <source>Dropping data ...</source>
        <translation>拖放数据...</translation>
    </message>
