These messages are short and cryptic, and a translator is unlikely to know
what to translate these messages into, if they should be translated at all,
that is.
Please provide translator comments that explain the meanings of these
messages and what they are supposed to be translated into. For more
information on translator comments, please see
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#use-comments
Comment 1 Christian Rose 2005-02-27 00:00:43 UTC 
Also applies to

#: smime/lib/e-cert.c:678
msgid "UID"
Comment 2 Not Zed 2005-08-10 02:28:08 UTC 
i'm not sure if these should be translated, they are all LDAP object parameters.

but i dont understand what the code is doing either ...
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-08-13 16:07:41 UTC 
reassigning to harish
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-12-28 16:05:05 UTC 
i assume that they should not be translated, but don't know if other countries perhaps use other abbreviations even for this. :-/

comments, anyone?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-01-02 11:00:57 UTC 
so this is about the following lines in evolution/smime/lib/e-cert.c:

		*text = g_strdup (_("C"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("CN"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("OU"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("O"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("L"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("DN"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("DC"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("ST"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("UID"));
		*text = g_strdup (_("E"));

after some discussion on irc, we decided they should be hardcoded and untranslatable.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2006-01-06 14:11:46 UTC 
fixed in cvs:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/smime/lib/e-cert.c?r1=1.11&r2=1.12

fix will be included in evolution 2.5.5.
