Description Marcel Telka 2008-03-25 06:27:08 UTC 
Some translatable strings in gnome-desktop are not marked with python-format in POT/PO files.

Examples:

#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865
msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s"
msgstr ""

#: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:920
msgid "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s"
msgstr ""

The missing
#, python-format
line in the above examples would allow incorrect translations of python
formatting specifiers. This could lead to unexpected behavior of some gnome components (for example crash in gnome-about).

Please add "python-format" mark to every strings with Python formatting specifiers. Thanks.
