Description Christian Rose 2004-08-23 23:09:42 UTC 
#: gtik/gtik.c:2026
msgid "(No Change"

The lack of a trailing parenthesis looks suspicious here.

Note that there is currently a string freeze.
Comment 1 Danielle Madeley 2004-08-24 03:18:03 UTC 
This is because the ) is in an untranslated string several lines down. I shall
add a comment for the translators, however, this should be resolved in 2.9.

Changing name to reflect the true nature of the bug. Was "Missing parenthesis in
gnome-applets gtik message".

possible fix

This should solve the string composition problem. From inspection gtik isn't
able to really handle rtl languages. I think I know how to fix this, but I'm
not sure if it's an issue, since I'm not sure it could get any stock codes from
countries that use rtl languages.
Comment 3 Christian Rose 2004-09-21 08:43:20 UTC 
Arafat, Gil, do you have any comments wrt the RTL issues in gtik? Perhaps those
should be filed in new bug reports though.
Comment 4 Danielle Madeley 2004-09-28 16:41:17 UTC 
Since there is no response on this issue, I'm going to commit the current fix.
If RTL is in fact an issue we can improve upon the work already done and get
that resolved too.
Comment 5 Arafat Medini 2004-09-28 17:10:42 UTC 
what's gtik? is it the ticker applet? I'll sure take a look on this!
Comment 6 Danielle Madeley 2004-09-28 17:13:36 UTC 
Yeah, it's the stock ticker applet.
Comment 7 Arafat Medini 2004-09-28 19:56:17 UTC 
the text to start from left to right as a default and the arrows have to scrool
the text to the right direction, but all in all it works!
Comment 8 Danielle Madeley 2004-09-29 02:08:08 UTC 
Excellent!

I'll just commit the string composition fix then.
Comment 9 Arafat Medini 2004-09-29 06:39:32 UTC 
oh man ... my English su*+#
Comment 10 Danielle Madeley 2004-09-29 06:47:04 UTC 
Ok, I've committed this fix. Any translators who have further whacky string
composition problems should reopen this bug. Thanks.
