Description Christian Rose 2005-10-11 19:56:33 UTC 
#: ../src/manager.c:240
msgid "Would you like to allow <b>'${0}'</b> to run?"

Please do *not* include markup inside translateable messages.
Comment 1 Jeffrey Stedfast 2005-10-11 20:12:19 UTC 
can you suggest an alternative that would give the same message?
Comment 2 Adam Weinberger 2005-10-11 21:13:29 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Jeffrey Stedfast 2005-10-12 15:13:44 UTC 
Yes, but then I would have to include the quotes inside the replaced string as
well and then they wouldn't be translatable.
