GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314767
Possible duplicate strings in the PO file
Last modified: 2006-02-07 10:01:43 UTC
Version details: Gnome HEAD 1. Do we really need both these strings? #: ../libgnomeui/gnome-entry.c:193 ../libgnomeui/gnome-entry.c:194 msgid "History id" #: ../libgnomeui/gnome-file-entry.c:236 ../libgnomeui/gnome-icon-entry.c:179 msgid "History ID" or both of these? #: ../libgnomeui/gnome-icon-entry.c:762 msgid "Icon selector" #: ../libgnomeui/gnome-icon-entry.c:988 msgid "Icon Selector" from Clytie, Vietnamese translator
Thanks for your bug report! Clytie is totally right, these are obsolete.
Created attachment 55826 [details] [review] Proposed patch.
I think maybe this patch is not the intended one? This patch just removes the translation markers from the property descriptions?
Yes, it does. I don't see why we need those strings. I don't even grasp why translations of those property descriptions were kept in GTK+, since they are only visible to developers, and developers have to speak English to understand the API.
I'll just unify the strings instead. Thanks clytie.
