Description Claudio Saavedra 2007-04-16 21:08:40 UTC 
Create a project, and add a GtkFileChooserButton to it. The default title for it will be localized. If we take i18n in consideration, it shouldn't.

For example, in my Spanish localized environment, a new GtkFileChooserButton has a default title of "Seleccione un archivo".

IMHO all lines concerning /plugins/gtk+/gtk+.xml.in should be removed from /po/*

Localizing widget classes and their properties may make sense for pure UI designers. On the other hand it makes Glade hard to use for programmers, who have to reverse engineer the translation every time they're looking for something they know will end up as e.g. GtkLayout.
Comment 2 Tristan Van Berkom 2016-01-29 16:56:40 UTC 
In fact, the title of a GtkFileChooserButton is not set by gtk+.xml.in but introspected from the file chooser button itself, that's the value it sets by itself and fetches from the locale.

Fixing this by just defaulting it to an empty string.

    Bug 430445 - null string default title for GtkFileChooserButton
    
    Actually, the title displayed is introspected from the filechooser button
    and takes whatever happens to be set by GTK+ in the given locale.
    
    Just null it out and let the user set a title.
