Description Chris Leonard 2012-08-13 16:58:31 UTC
goffice should adopt a standard capitalization of the ID abbreviation.

Note the first line if the PO file is:

../goffice/app/file.c:473
ID

whereas there are inconsistent abbreviations thereafter in the PO file.  Even though these may refer to different types of ID, consistency in the abbreviation of ID would be desirable and the type of ID being referenced is implied by the context of the string.

Lower case "id" is a concept from Freudian psychology.

../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:360
File contains plugin info with invalid id (%s), expected %s.

../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:858

../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:870
Plugin id contains invalid characters (%s).

../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:878

../goffice/app/go-plugin.c:884
