Please do not include markup in messages in gnome-volume-manager

#: ../src/manager.c:240 msgid "Would you like to allow <b>'${0}'</b> to run?" Please do *not* include markup inside translateable messages.
can you suggest an alternative that would give the same message?
I am not sure (and can't tell from the array in the source code) what the ${0} refers to, but can't the ${0} be sprintf'ed as "<b>'whatever'</b>"? There are cases (e.g. Glade files) where formatting markup cannot be excised from the translatable strings. Usually, however, stuff in C source files can be done differently to obviate the risk of mistranslating style markups.
Yes, but then I would have to include the quotes inside the replaced string as well and then they wouldn't be translatable.
