Cannot translate properly aisleriot from gnome-games in esperanto

[Michael Moroni]

I played klondike, a solitaire game from aisleriot . If I get a hint the game says «move the "card1" on the "card2"».
This is untranslateable in esperanto because "movi" (to move) is followed by accusative (alway the suffix -n) but "sur la" (on the) is followed by nominative (no suffix) and the game uses the same translation for card1 and card2.

Not untranslatable. The English should be "onto". And the Esperanto should be "sur la -n"

Two other solutions: movu la karton "card1" sur la karton "card2"
and
movu la "card1"n sur "card2"

There is already an upstream bug about this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551859

Until this gets fixed in a proper way, you should try to fix the translation, aiming for the least terrible solution - preferably in upstream too ( http://l10n.gnome.org/module/aisleriot/ ).
