GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 144810
translate the gconf:gnome-terminal/global/active_encodings to allow different default encoding menus
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
For example, as pointed by Takao Fujiwara on bug 138630, in the japanese translation one could have msgid "[UTF-8,current]" msgstr "[UTF-8,EUC-JP,SHIFT-JIS,ISO2022JP,current]" which is very reasonable. Now, it seems that one cannot include comments for translators in .schema.in files, and they should really be aware of the fact that they cannot add whatever in this list, only valid encoding names, and that 'current' is -not- to be translated because it is used to represent the locale encoding...
I don't think gconf supports translating the <default>...
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gconf/ch06.html says it does. (I wonder if gconf uses the locale gconf is running with or the app's current locale?)
It turns out Danilo added comments in .schema.in files a little while ago, so I've moved the default into the <locale> and added a comment explaining a bit things. So this is in HEAD now.
