563582 - "Please enter the Master password for Software Security Device" not localized/localizeable properly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: sl / Slovene, defect)

Description

[Vito Smolej]

Attachment: The inpuit box for the Software Security device pwd - slovenian FF and TB

When in FF or TB for instance the access to the passwords pool is requested the first time in the session, the authentication Inputbox opens up (see att). In Slovenian the message is localized momentarily with "Software Security Device" translated in nominative, which sounds absolutely lame:

Prosim, vnesite glavno geslo za Programska varnostna naprava

instead of

Prosim, vnesite glavno geslo za >>>Programsko varnostno napravo<<<

I would assume, that ANY localization into a language with declension has this problem. 

Evidently the string is melded out of two substrings to parametrize it for other security devices as well. Meaning, the accusative will be missing not just for the software device, but for all kinds of other security devices as well.  

Suggestion - move the name of the device up front, like this:

%securityDevice%: please enter the password for it

so the term can stay in nominative:

Programska varnostna naprava: vnesite prosim glavno geslo

I would appreciate to learn, where these strings are hiding. So far I could not locate the "Please enter the Master password for" part.

Note: I made it >>major<<, because it hits regularly and often. Think of 200.000 FF calls per month in Slovenia, involving government institutions among others.

I can find the string in:
/security/manager/chrome/pipnss/pipnss.properties.

And I have just replaced it with:
%S: Prosim, vnesite glavno geslo.

7 years old thread and nothing changed. The bug is not fixed or wasn't checked in.
Same problem in german translation (see attachment).
