This package name is: elfutils
Package description: 'A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled
objects'
Translatable file (PO):
'https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/elfutils/c/master/'
'file' is translated as 'ファイル' in Katakana.
However, 'FILE' is translated as 'ふぁいる' in Hiragana.
I see that Hiragana does not make sense but not sure that this can be replaced
with Katakana, rather it seems safer to me leaving as 'FILE' in English.
For example,
msgid: Find addresses in FILE
msgstr: ふぁいる 中のアドレスを探す
The program looks for addresses in FILE. If 'FILE' is translated, can the
program still find addresses in file? Any idea?

Thank you for explained it.
I got it that Japanese doesn't have upper and lower case latter. so it's quiet
difficult to translate.
However, should "FILE" be translated? In the po file, "[fF]ile" and
"FILE" are
different use. IMPOV it's necessary to translate "[fF]ile" as
"ファイル" to make
sentence natural. I think use "FILE" instead of translated word can be OK,
because it's still the sentence natural.
Cheers,

Hi Roland
It seems that you are the owner of 'elfutils', and would like to ask for help.
Does 'FILE' (upper case) need to be treated as special, separate from usual
'file'?
Description of problem:
There are two types of 'file' and 'FILE' in elfutils. Translator is unable
to
determine whether those two to be translated with same one term or those to be
differentiate with two separate terms.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elfutils-0.148-1.fc13
How reproducible:
run elfutils command with "--help" option.
Translatable file (PO):
'https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/elfutils/c/master/'

I can't tell you how to translate. In those usage messages, as is the normal
convention for usage messages, there are words in all caps like FILE or SECTION
that represent an argument to the command, where the actual argument is some
particular file name the user chooses, etc. The uses with normal
capitalization (such as "file" in all lower-case) are normal English uses of
the word in an English phrase such as "Print name of the input file". So the
latter is to be translated however that English sentence (or sentence fragment)
is ordinarily translated. The former is to be translated in whatever is the
normal convention for displaying what we call "metasyntactic variables", i.e.
an identifier that stands in for some arbitrary piece of user input.
There is nothing special to elfutils about this. Using all-caps words in this
way is the normal convention used in all --help messages throughout the system,
and many other places too. So your translation team should have a
well-established convention for how to represent this in your language.

Thanks Roland,
Understood how all caps words work in help messages.
AFAIK, there is no established convention for those or generally known way
either in Japanese. It seems to me that the way we can go would be either to
translate into exact same style of normal capitalization (Katakana) or to leave
them as is in English as masami256 suggested.
Unless an better approach is suggested, I would go with latter of leaving in
English.

There are many uses of all-caps names for arguments and the like in help
strings of many packages. It is certainly the convention for such uses in all
GNU programs. I'd certainly say this is something that each translation team
should have an official convention for, or at least a FAQ entry of some kind.
But that is up to the translation teams to figure out, and for the translation
project's administrators to encourage teams to do.

Oh, sorry, just realized this was not for my component and I shouldn't have
closed it. Please reopen or whatever is appropriate.
