Description F Wolff 2011-03-31 21:55:56 UTC
A request was made on the mailing list to include descriptions for the new strings added during the string freeze without approval. This bug is just a reminder so that it doesn't go forgotten. It is very hard/impossible to translate it well without the comments, so should be a priority.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-07-18 10:47:07 UTC
Link welcome, explaining which strings are meant.
Comment 2 F Wolff 2011-07-18 11:25:43 UTC
This is the start of the thread on the gnome i18n mailing list:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2011-March/msg00222.html

It affects this file:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-backgrounds/tree/backgrounds/gnome-backgrounds.xml.in.in

There area few strings that already have comments, but ideally all the others should at least point to a URL of the picture. Note that the URLs in the original e-mail are not valid any more, due to restructuring/renaming in gnome-backgrounds.

Is this something I'm allowed to fix myself?
Comment 3 F Wolff 2011-08-30 15:09:53 UTC
String freeze is in a few days. Can we possibly look into this before then?
Comment 4 André Klapper 2011-08-30 16:06:35 UTC
You can see all background pictures by going to
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-backgrounds/tree/backgrounds and clicking "plain" in the last column of each image.

Would it be sufficient to add this as a translator comment (a direct specific link of course) to each image? If so please assign this to me, or just go ahead if you feel like. :)

I consider this FIXED by http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-backgrounds/commit/?id=83996441d513b94d95cf3dd58c29a7c9decb6466

Please reopen if something is missing.
