i18n suggestion

I'm a Chinese translator of mrproject. At the time doing translation
work, I found it that there must be some ways to get it better.

Following lines have been found in mrproject.pot:

msgid "Q%d"
msgid "Qtr %d"
msgid "%d, Qtr %d"

msgid "H%d"
msgid "%04d, H%d"

Although I know very much what these items mean, but it doesn't look
very well with Chinese.

At first, there are 4 quarters in a year, am i right? I'm not sure it is
true in every country. We usually call Q1 as "The First quarter" in
Chinese, Q2 as "The Second quarter", H1 as "The First half year", and so
on. It would be better that list 4 quarters and 2 halfyears directly in
the source. That is:

msgid "Q1"
msgid "Q2"
msgid "Q3"
msgid "Q4"
msgid "Qtr 1"
msgid "Qtr 2"
msgid "Qtr 3"
msgid "Qtr 4"
#. %d, Qtr 1
msgid "%d, %s"

msgid "H1"
msgid "H2"
#. 2003, H1
msgid "%04d, %s"

Is it possible?

I have to say I don't really understand what you mean...

OK, after having my morning coffee everything is clear ;)

I have entered a bug for this in the bugzilla at

http://bugzilla.codefactory.se/show_bug.cgi?id=649

so it won't be forgotten.
