Description Christian Rose 2003-09-20 15:46:36 UTC 
#: glade/docbook-common-properties.glade.h:1
msgid ""
"<small>What is the scope of the text? You can use this page to specify the "
"relevancy of the text to different  types of computer system.</small>"


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 or
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#avoid-markup.
Since these are glade messages, I'll mark it dependant on the glade bug
97061 in the mean time.

This string also has an excess whitespace character between the words "different  types".

This may be a very old bug, but removal of markup is still a current issue and one of the Gnome Goals

Conglomerate is not under active development anymore. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further Conglomerate development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 685689) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
