GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 150890
Unnecessarily added spaces in gnome-applets messages
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
#: gkb-new/descs/ES_Spanish-x86.keyprop.desktop.in.h:3 msgid "Spanish PC/AT 101 keyboard " The space added to the end of this message looks unnecessary. Please note that there is currently a string freeze.
The same goes for this message: #: gkb-new/descs/Hungarian-x86.keyprop.desktop.in.h:2 msgid "Hungarian PC/AT 101 keyboard "
And this one: #: gkb-new/descs/UK-x86.keyprop.desktop.in.h:2 msgid "UK PC/AT keyboard "
I think this can be resolved after the freeze.
These messages all already exist in their non-trailing-space form: #: gkb-new/descs/presets.xml.in.h:176 msgid "Spanish PC/AT 101 keyboard" #: gkb-new/descs/presets.xml.in.h:93 msgid "Hungarian PC/AT 101 keyboard" #: gkb-new/descs/presets.xml.in.h:203 msgid "UK PC/AT keyboard" Thus, it would actually be no string freeze breakage to remove the trailing spaces, since it wouldn't affect translations in that the identical but non-trailing-space messages already exist and are marked up for translation from before the freeze. From a translator POV, all that would seem happen would be that there are three messages less to translate (the variants with trailing spaces).
Can you provide a patch please? Thanks.
Sure. Patch coming.

Excellent, you've clarified what I thought. I've committed it because it all looks great. Thanks for that.
