Composite column is the new column I made for vertical view (2 row column). Sorry to be so confusing.
I would get someone fix it.

" > #: ../plugins/mail-notification/apps-evolution-mail-notification.schemas.in.h:2 > "Blink icon in notification area." > #: ../plugins/mail-notification/apps-evolution-mail-notification.schemas.in.h:4 > "Enable icon in notification area." > do i have to choose between the blink icon and the enable icon? or do you > personally blink the icon for me? :) these are two different things: the first one enables/disables mail notification by displaying an icon in the notification area. The second one is to choose between a blinking/non-blinking icon to notify. Obviously, this is applicable iff 'mail notification by displaying an icon in the notification area' is enabled. > #: ../mail/evolution-mail.schemas.in.h:54 > "Level beyond which it should the message should be logged." > yes, still. guess it was this bad sometime before. the string in SVN trunk seems okay to me.
You have selected a read-only calendar source. Switch to Calendar View and highlight a calendar that can accept appointments. You have selected a read-only address book source. Switch to Contacts View and highlight an address book that can accept new contacts. i said "sync" in the sense of... "sync" ;-) + Show the email of the sender in a separate column, in the message list. why that comma? (and i personally still don't get the functionality difference) and can you PLEASE make "email" "email address"? you don't show the email. you show the email address here! that blink/enable string and the "showed" issue have been fixed already, or why aren't they part of the patch?

I really don't think those strings could be sanitized anymore. :( > + Show the email of the sender in a separate column, in the message list. > why that comma?

I really don't think those strings could be sanitized anymore. :( :) there's a "new" in one string. in general i would prefer a lot to display the source names instead, but perhaps you're right (and strings with a "{0}" in them are never displayed translated so it's probably good to not show the source name)
Created attachment 104625 [details] [review] patch for string changes I could not come up with a better string :( Like Andre mentioned (on IRC), a handy 'Help' button would do more good.
looks good. keep in mind that stirng freeze is on monday.
Suman, one patch is missing. To pass the calendar name to "prompt-read-only-cal". With out it it would crash. e_error_new (NULL, "calendar:prompt-read-only-cal", NULL); is how it is called. Something like this.. e_error_run (NULL, "addressbook:error-read-only", e_source_peek_name (e_book_get_source (book)), NULL); should be done for calendar also. Marking this as commit now but with other patch ;-)
thanks for spotting that one srag.. :-) Patch updated and committed to SVN trunk as r34982 (http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution?view=revision&revision=34982) String changes announced to gnome-doc-list and gnome-i18n (dated 10th) (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2008-February/date.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2008-February/date.html) If other such issues are being tracked as separate bugs, then this one could be closed :-)
Bumping version to a stable release.
Sounds like this can be closed? If not, reopen with a clarification of what issues remain.
