Description André Klapper 2009-03-10 20:37:46 UTC 
1) Start a terminal
2) LANG=nl_NL.utf8
3) dasher --options GameMode=true

Get a warning that does not make sense at all:
** (dasher:12135): CRITICAL **: Ongeldige optie-tekenreeks opgegeven: 'GameMode=true', Boolese waarde moet zijn: ‘true’ of ‘false’.


This happens because of the following three translations:
./nl.po-#: ../Src/DasherCore/SettingsStore.cpp:76
./nl.po-#: ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:516 ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:550
./nl.po-#: ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:554
./nl.po-msgid "true"
./nl.po-msgstr "waar"
./nl.po-
./nl.po-#: ../Src/DasherCore/SettingsStore.cpp:78
./nl.po-#: ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:518 ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:550
./nl.po-#: ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:554
./nl.po-msgid "false"
./nl.po-msgstr "onwaar"
./nl.po-
./nl.po-#. Note to translators: This message will be output for a command line
./nl.po-#. with "--options foo=VAL" and foo is a boolean valued parameter, but
./nl.po-#. "VAL" is not true or false.
./nl.po-#: ../Src/DasherCore/SettingsStore.cpp:84
./nl.po-#: ../Src/Gtk2/DasherAppSettings.cpp:521
./nl.po:msgid "boolean value must be specified as 'true' or 'false'."
./nl.po-msgstr "Boolese waarde moet zijn: ‘true’ of ‘false’."
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2009-03-10 21:15:05 UTC 
So isn't the real bug here that 'true' and 'false' are translatable strings in the first place?
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2009-03-10 22:20:42 UTC 
I'm not sure what the problem is, so I don't know how to resolve it. Andre, any ideas?
Comment 3 André Klapper 2009-03-10 22:23:51 UTC 
dasher --options GameMode=true

Ongeldige optie-tekenreeks opgegeven: 'GameMode=true', Boolese waarde moet zijn: ‘true’ of ‘false’.

does not make sense. I DID enter "true" obviously.

Either change
  "Boolese waarde moet zijn: ‘true’ of ‘false’."
to
  "Boolese waarde moet zijn: ‘waar’ of ‘onwaar’."
or keep the strings
  ./nl.po-msgid "true"
  ./nl.po-msgid "false"
in english...

Okay. Fixed in SVN. Thanks for the report.
