Thanks for updating, I can see the new strings now.
My problem is still that I do not know how to translate the "watched" and
"recorded" percentage strings.
What appears on the screen is: "31% watched" (the 31 is the actual
percentage that is computed, it is not translated).
I want to translate this to "31% bekeken" (where "bekeken" is the Dutch
translation for "watched").

This is line 500 of recordings-ui.xml:
<template>%|watchedpercent|%% watched</template>

In the linguist tool now the following string can be translated:

%watchedpercent%


Translating this is probably not a good idea because I think it is used as
identifier in programinfo.cpp line 1724:
progMap["watchedpercent"] =
((m_watchedPercent > 0) && !IsWatched())
? QString::number(m_watchedPercent) : QString();

I do not find a string "watched" in ThemeUI.

Note that when I change line 500 in recordings-ui.xml to:
<template>%|watchedpercent|%% bekeken</template>
then I do get the result I want: "31% bekeken" but that is not how the
translations should be done.

Am I missing something, or could it be that the template syntax used in
line 500 of recordings-ui.xml is
not supported by the translation system?

Thanks,
Klaas.
