Nemo: Italian translation only - Create new Template

[Timmy93]

I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 2.8.8 (but the bug is also in Mint 18) and I think to have found a bug in templates.

I created a model in "~/Modelli" (it's italian) that should be the english "~/Templates".
A simple empty file saved as "text.txt".
Then when I press right click of mouse>Create new document>text.txt it creates me a new file called: "text.txt senza nome" (in english "Unamed text.txt").
The problem is that the only part highlighted is "text" so if I change the name in "newText" I obtain: "newText.txt senza nome".

Is it possible to solve this problem? It's not so heavy to cancel each time " senza nome" from the new file but it's of course a bit annoying.

Here is a picture of the problem.

Would "Senza nome text.txt" be incorrect grammar or look bad? If not, then I think the translation needs to be fixed. The template string needs to come after the text for that to work. Currently the string in the Italian translation is "%s senza nome" which is why it has this problem. It will only select up to the file extension which is placed where the %s is.

"Senza nome" correspond to "Untitled" in English and is perfectly correct. The problem is that a new document is:
WHAT IS: "file.txt senza nome"
WHAT SHOULD BE: "file senza nome.txt"

Unfortunately in Italian there are no synonymous that can be used instead of "senza nome" before the original name so the only chance is to fix translation.

@itzexor I proposed in launchpad a possible solution: "Nuovo %s", that's the same of "New %s".
In this way there's no need to fix the translation. :)

Alright, cool. I was looking into ways to fix the way we handle that string, but making the translation work is much cleaner.

Same here (latest mint 64bit italian).
eg:

_New GIMP Image.xcf senza nome_

i glad to entire remove this "senza nome" and maintain just template filename.

any help to solve this s really appreciated :)

@itzexor I can confirm that also in mint 18.1 the problem is still there. I imagine that my proposal wasn't accepted.

[itzexor]

I'm not sure why it wasn't accepted. The launchpad stuff is not handled by us directly. I would try again and let them know that the %s must come at the end of the translation for this to work properly.

1464 should fix the issue in nemo by removing the translation entirely. New files will show up using the template name only.
