Description:
------------
Explanation of the for statement in PHP reference manual includes a
comentary notes on the special case that the second expression of the
for statement was empty. (e.g., "for(;;)".) The last English sentense
of the fourth paragraph reads: "This may not be as useless as you might
think, since often you'd want to end the loop using a conditional break
statement instead of using the for truth expression." @This is somewhat
tortuous sentense, but it says, in short, "This is useful." In Japanese
translation, however, the corresponding text says "This is less
convenient than you think", making totally opposite and false statement.
The problematic part of the Japanese text that leads to the opposit
meaning is "vÁ½ÙÇÖÅÍÈ¢©àµêܹñ".
Reproduce code:
---------------
Access to http://jp.php.net/manual/ja/control-structures.for.php
Expected result:
----------------
Replace the problematic part
"vÁ½ÙÇÖÅÍÈ¢©àµêܹñ"
with "SÒªz·éæè¸ÁÆÖÅ·". (This
rewriting used a word
"SÒ" (a novice) in place of "you" in "you might think",
because it
is better to avoid second person pronouns in Japanese sentense, and it
makes sure that "you" in this context is assumed to be a no experienced
programmer.)
