Description Ole Laursen 2003-11-10 22:28:29 UTC 
The string "Image" is pasted into the string "View as %s" and the string
"The %s view encountered an error while starting up." The problem is that
to get a correct translation in Danish, "Image" should be "billede" in the
first case and "Billed" in the latter. 

Clearly this is not possible. The code should explicitly contain "View as
Image", and preferably also the other string special-cased with the %s
replaced with "Image" so the translators can distinguish between them. I'm
pretty sure other languages have the same problem.

Adding some keywords to make this easier to find. I'm not sure it's 
easy to fix, though.
Comment 2 Matthew Gatto 2004-10-29 00:38:17 UTC 
"View as Image" was removed in GNOME-2.8, closing.
