Description Gil Forcada 2007-08-04 17:44:31 UTC
hi,

doing the catalan translation I found this:

#: ../savers/floaters.c:93
msgid "MAX_IMAGES"

and for my it looks more like a macro for a predefined value than a translatable string

I guess correct?

can you leave a comment along with this string?
Comment 1 Gil Forcada 2007-08-04 17:55:34 UTC
sorry, more strings that looks weird:

#: ../savers/slideshow.c:55
msgid "Color to use for images background"

maybe it is bacground images ?


#: ../savers/slideshow.c:55
msgid "\"#rrggbb\""

It is as an example of how people have to put the color in the entry or it's the entry itself, because if it's the second I don't thing that it is a good idea to make it translatable, rather it would make sense to get this color from the current theme

#: ../src/gnome-screensaver-dialog.c:63
msgid "MESSAGE"

with this you pretend that translators have to translated it or we have to write a message that will show on the dialog (looking at the line above gives me that though)

that's all
Comment 2 Gil Forcada 2007-08-08 21:24:14 UTC
just another one more:

#: ../src/gnome-screensaver-command.c:78
msgid ""
"Inhibit the screensaver from activating.  Command blocks while inhibit is "
"active."

-- the second phrase is correct? Maybe is something like "Cmommands are blocked while inhibit is active" ??
Comment 3 Gabor Kelemen 2007-08-09 14:50:41 UTC
For msgid "MAX_IMAGES" and msgid "MESSAGE": these are the command line arguments of the given programs. Capitalization always means that they should be supplied by the user. To see these messages "in action", you should use something like this: (given that you have a fresh and working jhbuild gnome somewhere in /opt :))
