Localize N/A

[yardenshoham]

I saw this string hardcoded in a few places

Hmm, I do wonder what happens when translators introduce longer strings for it. Can the places where it's used realistically render larger content?

[yardenshoham]

Yes

[silverwind]

Hmm, I doubt we will get many sensical translations. N/A is a english-only abbreviation and I wouldn't know how to translate it into german for example, as the language has no equivalent abbreviation.

How about just rendering a neutral -? That will work fine as well in these tables and needs no translation. In your screenshot, that is already used in the schedule table so it's consistent as well.

I also agree to keep the "N/A", it is a well-known word, especially in technical field.

Either is fine.

Actually, I think some N/A strings could be replaced by some more accurate word.

The last time I used "N/A" because there is no result. But I really do not want to put another "No record" translation there ....

(well, I admit that I am somewhat lazy on some problems ....)

While from another perspective, maybe N/A is not that bad, I am pretty neutral.

Let's just use -. It's already in use in the same exact lists, needs no translation and is perfectly short. It's a great fit.

@yardenshoham why close? Not interested in continuing? Should I raise another?
