GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 311472
useless and wrong singular string when plural expected
Last modified: 2013-09-13 01:00:49 UTC
Version details: 2.3.5 Distribution/Version: SuSE 9.3 1. Open evolution 2. Right-click on a folder which contains only one message and select properties In the folder properties dialog, it shows up the first string under the General tab as 'Total message' Expected results: The string should be 'Total messages'. Other information: It shows up as 'Total messages' for folders containing 0 messages or more than 1 message.
Hmm, introduced here: revision 1.3 date: 2004/06/16 21:41:52; author: dobey; state: Exp; lines: +50 -35 branches: 1.3.6; 1.3.14; 2004-06-16 Rodney Dawes <dobey@novell.com> * em-folder-properties.c: Include gtk[hv]box.h so we can use them (emfp_dialog_got_folder): Fix the border widths and spacings for the internal widgets and the dialog's vbox and action area to be compliant with the HIG Fix the general layout of the dialog to be HIG-compliant as well Use ngettext for the row labels for number of messages Add a cancel button, since we are not instant-apply Align the message counts to the right Part of this patch is from Christian Neumair <chris@gnome-de.org>
yeah, right. string freeze. targetting to 2.5, adding dependencies.
label = gtk_label_new (ngettext ("Total message:", "Total messages:", prop_data->total));
same with "Unread message"
do NOT remove the ngettext though it seems like always using the plural in english language (see bug 272567), but do change the english wording instead
committed fix to head, see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/mail/em-folder-properties.c?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 fix will be included in evolution 2.5.4. ** This fix was written at the Evolution Team Germany conference and meeting. **
