GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 505949
String fixes for EOG HEAD
Last modified: 2007-12-28 12:37:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: At line 1181 of src/eog-window.c, the string "Saving image \"%s\" %s" is non-obvious for translation. Ideally, this should probably read "Saving image \"%s\" (%d/%d)". Displaying (1/1) doesn't seem like a big deal and solves the problem of potentially weird spacing if that portion of the string would be moved elsewhere in the translation. Additionally, a translator's comment should probably be added. At line 891 of data/eog-image-properties.glade, "<b>Location:</b>\t" should have the tab removed. Surrounding whitespace should not be included in translatable strings. At line 1424 of data/eog-image-properties.glade, "Metadata" should be translatable. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

As removing the tab will reuse an existing translation I'm going to change this in the gnome-2-20 branch as well. I applied your proposals (Thanks!) to trunk, added a translator comment and fixed some other related datatype/string issues while at it. Announcement mail coming in a few minutes. 2007-12-28 Felix Riemann <> Fix several translation and other string issues. Fixes bug #505949 (Seán de Búrca, Felix Riemann). * src/eog-jobs.h: Change the index-variable's datatype to guint to coincide with the one returned by g_list_length. * data/eog-image-properties-dialog.glade: Add a new translatable string and correct another one. * src/eog-window.c: (eog_job_save_progress_cb): Make the statusbar message while saving images more translator-friendly. Add a translator comment. Use the correct format tokens in the printf-statement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
