Temporary hackaround that makes the Foward button work with i18n with recent libgnomeui code (572 bytes, patch)

Another approach, this one hardcodes the prefixes though (3.28 KB, patch)

Description Dave Malcolm 2005-11-03 04:56:56 UTC 
Clicking on "Forward" with i18n recently started failing for me in Dogtail.

Turns out that the translatable string for "Forward" (which comes from GTK, in
the "gtk20" domain; it's a stock item) has a prefix:

"Navigation|_Forward" which e.g. in fr translates to "_Avancer"

So we need to deal with these hidden prefixes somehow, either by getting it
right in the script, or allowing flexibility.

This isn't a good long-term solution though

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2005-11-03 05:14:00 UTC 
Ideal solution is probably to allow predicates to specify a list of match names,
so that we can search for translations for each of them.

dogtail development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few
years now.
Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing bugs as WONTFIX.
Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
