[User Feedback - Stable]Incorrect Translations for New Site Mute Feature (Portuguese, Swedish)

Project Member Reported by craigtumblison@chromium.org, Feb 26 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 64.0.3282.186
OS: Mac

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Use Chrome in Portuguese / Swedish.
(2) Right-click on a new tab, look for the new site mute feature.
(3) See an incorrect / misleading translation.

This comes from user feedback reports. Please find the details below.


Portuguese
> "Mutar Site" was translated as "Ignorar Site" in Brazilian Portuguese.

- https://listnr.corp.google.com/report/85036849919

Swedish
> "Mute website" is translated to "Dölj webbplats" where "Dölj" actually means hide, not mute. A better translation would be "Tysta webbplats" where "Tysta" translates to quiet/mute.

Attaching a screenshot (in English) for where to locate the text string in the UI.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue.
This has been assigned to the language POC to fix the necessary unlocalized strings.

We'll keep you updated once fixed.

Regarding the Swedish translation. The suggestion to translate "Mute site" to "Tysta webbplats" is a good standalone translation, but there will be no consistent translation to the "Unmute site" option. I would suggest the following translations instead:

Mute Site (current translation "Dölj webbplats"): 
Stäng av ljud från webbplats

Unmute Site (current translation "Visa webbplats"):
Sätt på ljud från webbplats


They are longer, but the translation will make more sense when you switch between the them.
