GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 783968
Mark Fwd and Re Subject attribution for translation
Last modified: 2017-10-13 22:28:05 UTC
The "Re" in the subject line when replying to an email is not localized. I'm using Linux and Evolution in German and still get the English version with "Re" in the subject line instead of "Aw". Same for "Fwd".
Thanks for a bug report. You are right, these two strings are not marked for translation. I marked them as such, thus once the translators will translate them it'll be visible in your localization as well. As it adds new translatable strings it cannot go to the stable branch, thus only for the development version. Created commit 534e797 in evo master (3.25.4+)
Apart of an issue with bug #788916, which I didn't think of at the beginning, like when using evolution in certain locale, but writing mails in internationalized environment, then the 'Re' is part of some RFCs, namely: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5256#section-7 which references: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.5 (this is an update of RFC2822) See bug #788916 for follow up changes.
