GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305549
PO string bugs
Last modified: 2013-09-10 13:41:38 UTC
1. This file has 24219 lines, of which only 4358 are current strings. That's 82% bloat. I strongly recommend that most, if not all of the obsolete strings are removed, particularly the long lists of out- of-date country names. 2. As I have recommended elsewhere in GNOME bug reports, I also strongly recommend that GNOME start using the ISO-3166 files, which maintain a list of _current_ country names, state/province names, language names and currency names for the whole world. These files are probably already part of the base system. They are already translated at The Translation Project (I have translated them into my language), so they are a l18n resource on which you can call, without having to worry about bulking out your file with those long lists of languages or names, or having to worry about keeping the lists current. Use the ISO-3166 package as a resource, a plugin for your system that saves you a lot of space, repetition and time. 3. There are the usual list of duplicate strings, bar full stop/period or capital letter: po:142 reference: ⑤ calendar/backends/groupwise/e-cal-backend-groupwise.c:776 Original: ⌘0 Repository is Offline po:185 reference: ⑤ calendar/libecal/e-cal.c:4536 Original: ⌘0 Repository is offline ___ po:518 reference: ⑤ camel/providers/groupwise/camel-groupwise-store.c:911 flag: ② c-format Original: ⌘0 GroupWise server %s po:520 reference: ⑤ camel/providers/groupwise/camel-groupwise-transport.c:121 flag: ② c-format Original: ⌘0 Groupwise server %s ___ po:899 Original: ⌘0 Evolution VCard Importer .po:900 Original: ⌘0 Evolution VCard importer ___ po:3419 Original: ⌘0 Delete this Occurrence .po:3420 Original: ⌘0 Delete this occurrence ___ 4. One typo: po:638 reference: ⑤ camel/providers/local/camel-local-provider.c:69 Original: ⌘0 For retrieving (moving) local mail from standard mbox formated spools into folders managed by Evolution.

i'm going to write a patch for this within the next days/weeks
"GroupWise server" is already fixed in cvs (bug 271901 was dealing with that).
also, "Repository is Offline" is gone
i can neither find "Evolution VCard Importer" (case insensitive) anywhere in current e-d-s codebase (clean cvs checkout) nor "Repository is Offline" (case sensitive). so only #4 is still valid, patch attached. setting target to future (should be 1.5 when milesteone available).
Created attachment 52300 [details] [review] untested patch to fix the remaining typo
Patch approved. target this for 1.5 (the milestone existed already).
committed fix to head, see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution-data-server/camel/providers/local/camel-local-provider.c?r1=1.35&r2=1.36
