GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 172867
allow stock labels to show through, be nice to translators
Last modified: 2005-04-15 10:16:49 UTC
Translation is hard work, nobody wants to have to translate the same thing twice and it makes sense to use the GTK_STOCK items as much as possible. (It is not obvious from the GtkActionEntry documentation how to do this but Jody Goldber of Gnumeric fame explained how it is done) The following patch corrects the use of GtkActionEntry so that the stock labels show through and in some cases (like Open, Save, Close, Copy, Cut, Paste) I've also allowed the stock keybindings to show through too. The patch includes a changelog entry.
Created attachment 39773 [details] [review] patch to let stock menu labels show through
does this patch break string freeze?
the bugzilla mail I got sent about this had a borked link in it, I think there must have been problems with the bugzilla upgrade http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D172867 This shouldn't break the string freeze, all these strings should already be translated in GTK and if anything this should mean less translation work. I would still urge you to inform the traslators and but the potential risk of this patch is extremely low. As this bug includes a patch and you have acknowledged it, it seems fair to mark it New.
commited to CVS HEAD now, thank you.
