Description Christian Rose 2002-12-27 23:11:19 UTC 
#: addressbook/gui/component/addressbook.c:647
#: addressbook/gui/component/addressbook.c:650
#, c-format
msgid "%sEnter password for %s (user %s)"


Looking at this message, it's totally non-obvious what the first %s does or
how it relates to anything that should be translated.
I suggest to replace this with a solution with the advanced string magic
composition being done outside the gettext call.

Comment 3 Sivaiah 2005-01-28 10:53:58 UTC 
Removed the leading %s and did string concatanation as they are two
different sentences
