Roslyn: [loc][Query][dotnet_roslyn] Localizability of strings

[PDostalek]

Hi,
please help localization team to answer question from translator.
In case translator is not sure about context/meaning/localizability of string we raise a question.

Id | File Name Live Page Extended | String Resource ID | Full Source String | Extended Description
-- | -- | -- | -- | --
50207 | Features\Core\Portable\xlf\FeaturesResources.xlf | 0; "ChangeSignature_NewParameterOmitValue" | | Is this string localizable?
50606 | Features\Core\Portable\xlf\FeaturesResources.xlf | 0; "ChangeSignature_NewParameterInferValue" | | Please clarify context. Is it localizable as a verb?
50666 | Compilers\CSharp\Portable\xlf\CSharpResources.xlf | 0; "ERR_FuncPtrRefMismatch" | Ref mismatch between '{0}' and function pointer '{1}' | Is ref referred to ref modifier or is a simple abbreviation of reference?
50678 | Compilers\CSharp\Portable\xlf\CSharpResources.xlf | 0; "ERR_BadFuncPointerArgCount" | Function pointer '{0}' does not take {1} arguments | What does {1} stand for? Does it number of arguemnts?
50690 | Compilers\CSharp\Portable\xlf\CSharpResources.xlf | 0; "ERR_AddressOfToNonFunctionPointer" | Cannot convert &method group '{0}' to non-function pointer type '{1}'. | Would you please confirm "&" functinos as a hotkey here?
50739 | Compilers\CSharp\Portable\xlf\CSharpResources.xlf | 0; "ERR_CantChangeInitOnlyOnOverride" | '{0}' must match by init-only of overridden member '{1}' | Please clarify "by init-only" and confirm that it is localizable

I added an answer column for each of the function pointer questions @PDostalek. Let me know if there's any more clarification needed for these ones.

[PathogenDavid]

Ref is an abbreviation of reference here

Is this correct? "Ref" in this error is referring to the ref keyword for a reference return value. I know that technically the ref keyword is short for reference, but I don't think that matters in the context of @PDostalek's question since I would assume keywords don't get translated in error messages.

[333fred]

Yes, that's correct. It could be a mismatch between ref and out, or in and out. It's not specific to ref alone.

[PDostalek]

Thank you @333fred

"init-only" means that we have a "set" accessor which is restricted to be called during initialization. That accessor is called "init" in the code. Yes, I think we can localize the term.

@PDostalek Here is the information for the remaining two strings. Thanks for your patience:

Marking this issue as resolved, but feel free to re-open if there are any additional questions about the strings. @PDostalek

[PDostalek]

@allisonchou What does "infer" stand for?

[allisonchou]

@PDostalek We use "infer" here in the context of inferring a value.

[allisonchou]

Marking issue once again as resolved, however @PDostalek please let us know if any additional clarifications would be helpful.
