Description TLE 2008-03-02 10:46:20 UTC 
Hello
Could you please add some comments that explain what those strings are for?

#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865
msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s"

#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:920
msgid "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s"

Regards Kenneth Nielsen

There are translators comments for this, but for some reasons, intltool doesn't see them... Help is welcome.
Comment 2 Nikos Charonitakis 2008-03-24 14:54:27 UTC 
wrong translation of these messages makes gnome-about to crash.

this is the case at least for el.po (should be fixed soon)
#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865
msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s"
msgstr "%(όνομα): %(τιμές)"


#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:920
msgid "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s"
msgstr "<b>%(όνομα):</b> %(τιμές)"

and mk.po 
#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865
msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s"
msgstr "%(им/е)иња: %(вредност)и"

#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:920
msgid "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s"
msgstr "<b>%(им/е)иња:</b> %(вредност)и"
Comment 3 Claude Paroz 2008-04-25 20:30:08 UTC 
The problem is that intltool doesn't recognize the file as python code (see bug #528118). Either replace this code with simple "%s: %s" and remove comment, or find a way to rename the source file with a .py extension.
