Thanks for your comments! I fixed them in my translator branch, waiting for review before merging: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/xclaesse/empathy.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/translator.

I capitalized strings.

I removed that string, it's not needed AFAIK.

Hm, token here is a technical word from the telepathy spec. That's for a gconf key so I suppose you could just not translate that word?

That string shouldn't be translatable, it is displayed in debug messages only, not in the UI. Fixed.

Same as above.

Same as above.

Right, the text from glade is not traductable anymore.

I added a comment:
/* To translators: Readying is the first state of the call, it is
 * preparing the connection and it does not yet ring. */

So far there is numbers [0-9], asterisk (*) and hash (#). [A-D] will be added at some point since those are standard DTMF signals. Maybe the full aplabet will be added one day like any mobile phone...

I added a comment.

I merged those 2 strings.

I added a comment. This is the title to group visual preferences for various notifications, like enbling libnotify bubbles, etc.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
