Description André Klapper 2009-01-28 18:14:52 UTC 
./eu.po:msgid "Message-display style (\"normal\", \"full headers\", \"source\")"
./eu.po-msgstr "Mezuak bistaratzeko estiloa (\"normala\", \"goiburu osoak\", \"iturburua\")"


These values are gconf values. Being a user, you MUST set the ENGLISH value if you want to change the value of the key manually, e.g. by using gconf-editor. It is IMPOSSIBLE for users of this language to GUESS the english values if you translate the values ONLY to your language.

Proposal: Put your translation in brakets after the english value.
Example: "  "english_value" (translation_of_english_value)  "

Please also check the other strings in the affected po file - I only grep'ed for one example string.
You could search for "schemas.in" for example.

It might be worth to bring up and explain this problem (gconf key values should remain in english) to the other translators of your team to avoid this happening in the future.

As this is a general problem I have asked for discussion at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2009-January/msg00477.html
Comment 1 Tiffany Antopolski 2011-08-25 06:35:23 UTC 
This bug is in the wrong component. It is a Basque[eu] bug, not Esperanto[eo]. Moving to Basque. However, I wonder if this should be an Evolution bug?

Tiffany: It's busted anyway, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569540 :-(

As per obvious inactivity I now fixed this myself for 3.1.91 in git master:
