Still yet more string issues

Here it appears to be the other way around (and the label "text" is the thing to search for, rather than the text to search in). If I am reading it right, maybe the parameters should be "SEARCH(search_string, text[,start_num])\n" to at least be consistent with using "text" as the thing to operate on. --- #: plugins/gda/plugin.xml.in.h:2 msgid "Database functions for allowing the retrieval of data from a database" -- Could be clearer: "Database functions for retrieval of data from a database" --- #: plugins/numtheory/plugin.xml.in.h:3 msgid "" "Several basic utilities for prime numbers, pi, phi, sigma.

The example: Maybe there should still be text to make the example more meaningful? Something like below: #: plugins/sample_datasource/sample_datasource.c:264 #, no-c-format msgid "" "@FUNCTION=atl_last\n" "@SYNTAX=atl_last(tag)\n" "@DESCRIPTION= atl_last is just an example datasource. It is not actually implemented.\n" "\n" "* The @tag parameter is undefined.\n" "\n" "@EXAMPLES=\n" "atl_last(\"hello\") will return an error as the function does not exist.\n" "\n" @SEEALSO= If there really should be no text at all, this should probably not be marked for translation. --- Freezing upper left: I don't understand it, but that's hopefully no loss (if my translation of it is totally wrong, I trust more knowledgeable users will let me know).
