Description Duarte "HappyGuy" Loreto 2004-01-29 01:52:35 UTC
The following translatable string

#: gal/widgets/e-categories-master-list-array.c:82
msgid "Status"

should have a translators comment.

Is this status reffering to something as "status bar" or as "status in
life" (well regarded by others or famous)?

Thank you for your time
Duarte Loreto
Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-01-14 18:39:11 UTC
still valid in current cvs, adding dependency (blocks 36276).

i'm also not getting the sense here (it's a category for contacts),
and also these categories are not translated in 2.0.3. :-/
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-01-26 21:16:32 UTC
adding target as discussed with jpr on irc
Comment 3 Radek Doulik 2005-01-28 16:49:56 UTC
well, I have no idea either. reassinging to addressbook guys as they
will know
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2005-01-31 16:28:01 UTC
Rodrigo should probably look at this since he just re-did the category
stuff.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-03-23 17:55:22 UTC
retargetting the string translation bugs that were targetted to 2.1 to
2.3. for an entire list see bug 236276.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2005-08-25 20:00:52 UTC
should be evolution-data-server/libedataserver/e-categories.c nowadays, i guess...

anyway, punting to 2.5; adding "string" keyword
Comment 7 André Klapper 2005-12-23 03:35:17 UTC
clarifying subject
Comment 8 André Klapper 2006-03-05 01:22:08 UTC
changing target milestone from 2.5 to future. sorry, too many bugs, too less time.
Comment 9 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:26:21 UTC
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 10 Milan Crha 2008-07-11 08:38:32 UTC
Is this sufficient?
/* Translators: "Status" is a category name; it can mean anything user wants */

It doesn't worth it to upload a "patch" for this... But I would like to know other ideas.
Comment 11 Duarte "HappyGuy" Loreto 2008-07-11 10:09:52 UTC
Although it might seem a bit picky, from the information gathered on previous comments, I would change the proposal to:

/* Translators: "Status" is a contact category name; it can mean anything the user wants */

Thank you for looking into this!

Comment 12 Milan Crha 2008-07-11 12:07:35 UTC
this "a contact category" is not truth, same categories are used in calendar/tasks/memos, not only in address books.
Comment 13 Milan Crha 2008-07-14 14:35:22 UTC
Proposed text from comment #10 committed to trunk. Committed revision 9120.
