Description TLE 2013-03-12 22:06:47 UTC 
Hallo gnome-control-center devs

I just tried commiting a translation to the master branch, but intltool-update returns an error I think is due to a non-existent file in POTFILES.in. The error message was:

xgettext: error while opening "./../panels/sound/gvc/gvc-mixer-control.c" for reading: No such file or directory
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult
       error message above if there is any.

I hope you can help with it.
Regards Kenneth

The file is in a submodule. Please run 'git submodule init && git submodule update' to get it.

Thanks.

Maybe that info would go nicely in the README.translators file in the po dir.

It's the same for any modules with git submodules. This should be in the project-wide translation instructions, not in a specific module.
