Description Pedro de Medeiros 2008-01-16 04:47:17 UTC 
#: ../backend/ps/gsdefaults.c:30
msgid "BBox"

What is "BBox"? A comment line above might help.

#: ../shell/eggfindbar.c:158
msgid "Search string"

Is "search" a verb and "string" the object or is "search" an adjective and "string" the noun? A comment above might help.

msgid "Empty"
msgid "_Previous"
msgid "_Next"
msgid "Many..."
msgid "Not so many..."
msgid "Multi"
msgid "Upside Down"

What exactly are those about? Since they work as adjectives, they might require more detail for gender distinction in some languages. Please put a comment in each line.

msgid "*"
msgid "<span size=\"smaller\"> </span>"

I believe these lines should not be translated at all.

That file doesn't exist anymore.

This is a property name, it's an internal string and shouldn't be marked for translation. I've just fixed it.

Those messages don't exist anymore either.

and this one seems to be already fixed too. 

Thanks for reporting.
