These values are gconf values. Being a user, you MUST set the ENGLISH value if you want to change the value of the key manually, e.g. by using gconf-editor. It is IMPOSSIBLE for users of this language to GUESS the english values if you translate the values ONLY to your language.

Proposal: Put your translation in brakets after the english value.
Example: "  "english_value" (translation_of_english_value)  "

Please also check the other strings in the affected po file - I only grep'ed for one example string.
You could search for "schemas.in" for example.

It might be worth to bring up and explain this problem (gconf key values should remain in english) to the other translators of your team to avoid this happening in the future.

As this is a general problem I have asked for discussion at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2009-January/msg00477.html

Indeed I do and it worked! That must count as terribly lazy, sorry but thought I'd not made the great Subversion migration.
