Description André Klapper 2007-07-25 02:54:49 UTC
hi jon,

#: ../data/lock-dialog-default.glade 
"Note"

can you please add a translator comment if this is the noun or the verb, and in which context this is used?
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#use-comments


#: ../savers/floaters.c:84
"Show paths that images follow"

what does that mean?


#: ../savers/floaters.c:93
"MAX_IMAGES"
#: ../savers/floaters.c:96
"WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y"
#: ../savers/slideshow.c:50
"PATH"

should these strings really be marked for translation?
Comment 1 André Klapper 2007-07-25 03:01:24 UTC
also, strings like

#: ../src/gs-lock-plug.c:1372
msgid "%U on %h"

are very hard to translate if you don't know that %U is the username and %h is the host. "on" can mean half a dozen of words in my language, depending on the context. translators should not be required to take a look into the source code, so please add a translator comment here. thanks.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2007-07-30 15:39:28 UTC
Ok, I've added a comment for gs-lock-plug.c:1372.


For the others...

In the link you posted it says that comments aren't supported in glade files.  So, not much I can do about the Note one.

For the others, they are just to document the command line options.  So, I suppose they should be translated but I don't really care.

Thanks.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2007-07-30 19:48:57 UTC
hi jon, thanks.

seems like the doc is old... glade does support comments, just add a
       comments="bla"
attribute to an object, for example
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/trunk/calendar/gui/dialogs/recurrence-page.glade?r1=26468&r2=31488
Comment 4 William Jon McCann 2007-07-30 19:51:46 UTC
Ah, OK. Will do then.  Thanks.
Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2007-07-30 20:48:50 UTC
Oh, as it turns out this string isn't even visible.  So I've just removed it.
