Description Christian Rose 2004-07-02 14:48:52 UTC 
#: calendar/gui/e-cal-model-tasks.c:302
msgid "N"

#: calendar/gui/e-cal-model-tasks.c:302
msgid "S"

#: calendar/gui/e-cal-model-tasks.c:304
msgid "W"

#: calendar/gui/e-cal-model-tasks.c:304 smime/lib/e-cert.c:681
msgid "E"

These messages ought to have explanatory translator comments (see
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#use-comments).

Also, as the last message shows, the short message and lack of context
makes it collide with another message, and getting the same translation in
both contexts, which is probably not what you want. Try using context
markers (see
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#short-messages
and the link to a possible solution there).

Rodrigo, what's the status on this?
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-02-02 01:00:08 UTC 
*** bug 267629 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-02-02 01:00:21 UTC 
according to the duplicate bug 267629,
E in the calendar it means "East" and in the smime certification it 
means "Email".
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-03-23 17:51:31 UTC 
retargetting the string translation bugs that were targetted to 2.1 to
2.3. for an entire list see bug 236276.
Comment 5 Rodrigo Moya 2005-05-11 10:40:02 UTC 
We should probably not translate those at all
Comment 6 Sushma Rai 2005-05-12 09:40:44 UTC 
Not marked for translation now.
