Translation: clarification needed

Hello,

every now and then there's a phrase that resists my attempts to translate it, mostly because I don't really understand what a particular feature does (and I don't have the time to search in the source code). Since I'd like to believe that I'm not the only one who has some problems with the translation sometimes, I guess it would be nice to have a central thread where questions about the meaning of some sentences can be asked (until now I just abused some other threads like https://forums.modx.com/thread/51056/extended-translations-for-revolution-2-1-deadline-monday-may-9-2011). Maybe this thread can be pinned, too?

Currently I'm fighting with a new help text in the setting.inc.php:

Could you please explain this to me? Why are the similarities between both methods emphasized, while the differences are quite unclear?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Jan

Not sure I understand your question or what is unclear. If you enable the setting, links for WebLinks Resources will render the target URL instead of the internal MODX URL. This will occur regardless if you use link tags or the API method modX::makeUrl(). Does that help clarify anything?

Does that help clarify anything?

Well, yes, it does! Now I could test it and see the difference.

I guess my English isn't too bad, but I'm not a native speaker, and because of the differences in sentence construction, conjunctions etc., sometimes a different meaning seems possible, or the meaning is unclear. And the explanation in your posting here is much clearer - there you didn't repeat those things that both alternatives have in common (generating a URL via link tags or makeUrl()) but pointed out the differences. Maybe you'd like to change the content of the variable accordingly.


Thank you very much for your help!
