Remove unnecessary markup from glade messages in camorama

#: data/camorama.glade.h:3 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">Effects</span>" #: data/camorama.glade.h:4 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">General</span>" #: data/camorama.glade.h:5 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">Image Type</span>" #: data/camorama.glade.h:6 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">Local Capture</span>" #: data/camorama.glade.h:7 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">Remote Capture</span>" #: data/camorama.glade.h:8 msgid "<span weight=\"bold\">Timestamp</span>" This use of markup inside messages marked for translation is totally unnecessary, and a problem for the translation process. For details, see the problem description in bug 96836. Since these are glade messages, I'll mark it dependant on the glade bug 97061 in the mean time.
Well, since we're shooting for HIG compliance, it's not really possible currently to remove the markup... see <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100012">100012</a> for why we can't really change this right now. :-/ Would using just <b> tags instead of the more verbose <span blah blah> tags be less annoying to translators in the meantime? We could also ditch HIG compliance for now. I'd rather not, as we're not far from it now, but this is ultimately Greg's call, not mine. Greg, thoughts?
i will look into doing the text formating outside of glade. i assume i can set the label attributes in the code, although this is really annoying to the coder rather than the translator :). and kind of defeats the purpose of using libglade, imho. i'll check it out at least as a temporary solution.
ok, after mucking around for a while, i have decided to leave it as is for the time being. hopefully their will be a solution introduced to glade. my apologies to the translators :).

Greg: Did you mean to close this?
I think so, closing now.
Please fix, bug 97061 has been fixed, and http://l10n.gnome.org/POT/camorama.HEAD/camorama.HEAD.pot still contains markup.
This project is not under active development anymore. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 725098) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
