Description Christian Rose 2004-08-14 09:00:52 UTC 
Glade should a hyphen instead of an underscore in the special translator
credits string, i.e "translator-credits" instead of "translator_credits".

The reason is that some translation tools check that messages which have access
keys in the source also have access keys in the translation, and barf otherwise.

Obviously those tools will mistake this underscore for an access key. Please see
bug 150106 for further details.
Comment 1 Damon Chaplin 2004-09-23 14:08:23 UTC 
I'm happy to do this, but it means we may lose all the old translations.
Is that OK?
Comment 2 Damon Chaplin 2004-09-23 14:43:50 UTC 
It also needs a change in libgnomeui, in libgnomeui/glade/glade-gnome.c.

about_set_translator_credits() has this:
   if (strcmp(value, "translator_credits") != 0) {

We'd need to change that to check for "translator-credits" as well.

To be honest, I think it is too late/too much hassle to change this now.
Translator tools should be fixed so that you can override the access keys check.

Danilo, Chris, Kjartan, what do you think?

Comment 5 Damon Chaplin 2004-12-07 14:01:24 UTC 
Glade uses "translator-credits" for the new GtkAboutDialog.
GnomeAbout is deprecated now, so I think we shouldn't worry about it.
Comment 6 Christian Neumair 2005-01-07 12:20:18 UTC 
Damon: Why don't we simply fix it? It's heavily trivial and users who use old
software will complain.
Comment 7 Damon Chaplin 2005-01-07 14:48:38 UTC 
It would need to be fixed in libgnomeui first, and there are several disadvantages
(see above).

I would have thought it would be equally trivial to change the validation tools
so they ignore "translator_credits".
Comment 8 Damon Chaplin 2005-07-24 16:57:20 UTC 
There is no reason to use GnomeAbout any more, so this isn't worth fixing.
