I'm torn about this: I think translators need to understand that their text is in an HTML context, and then need to understand things like … . The downside of pulling this from the string is that there may be languages where a trailing horizontal ellipsis is not the right way to indicate an operation in progress. I don't know if there are any like that, but in general, translation can involved subtle linguistic concerns that are hard for us to anticipate.

I think it should be translated. At worst it means all the translators have to add … themselves but it gives them the flexibility to indicate ellipsis in a localized way.

Well, whatever we decide, we should be consistent. I made this pull request because I noticed that most of the places that we use that ellipsis on the site, it is outside of translated strings -- these two being the only two exceptions I could see. If we want to put the ellipsis inside the translated string, then someone should make a pull request to change that for all the other situations where we use them. (I'd be happy to make that PR myself, if that's what we decide.)

wow, this commit history looks wonky. Might this have been due to the git error from a few days ago? Rebase, perhaps?

Did we ever come to a decision about this? It would be nice to set a standard one way or the other.

  1. We should translate the …
  2. We should update the wiki page about i18n to make this clear
  3. We should fix the other places in the code

These three steps don't have to happen all at once.
