......@@ -48,10 +48,10 @@ Be sure to check the following guidelines before you translate any strings.
### Namespaced strings
When an externalized string is prepended with a namespace (for example,
`s_('OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened')`), the namespace should be removed from the final translation. For
example, in French, `OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened` is translated to `Ouvert•e`, not
`OpenedNDaysAgo|Ouvert•e`.
A namespace precedes the string and is separated from it by a `|` (`namespace|string`). When you see
a namespace before an externalized string, you should remove the namespace from the final
translation. For example, in `OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened`, remove `OpenedNDaysAgo|`. If translating to
French, translate `OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened` to `Ouvert•e`, not `OpenedNDaysAgo|Ouvert•e`.
