Description Marcel Telka 2010-02-21 00:24:56 UTC 
The following message contains strange word "CRTCs":

#: ../libgnome-desktop/gnome-rr.c:406
#, c-format
msgid "could not get the screen resources (CRTCs, outputs, modes)"
msgstr ""

What is CRTCs? Please add translation comment.

Thanks.
Comment 1 Marcel Telka 2010-02-21 00:29:36 UTC 
Ok. I found following:

#. Translators: the "position", "size", and "maximum"
#. * words here are not keywords; please translate them
#. * as usual.  A CRTC is a CRT Controller (this is X terminology)
#: ../libgnome-desktop/gnome-rr.c:1262
#, c-format
msgid ""
"requested position/size for CRTC %d is outside the allowed limit: position=(%"
"d, %d), size=(%d, %d), maximum=(%d, %d)"
msgstr ""

But anyway, please add translation comment to the message in the bug description.

Thanks.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Thanks for adding the translator comment, but it is not visible in the PO files.
The translator comment should be placed right before the translatable string
(on the preceeding line), so the source should be changed from:

/* Translators: a CRTC is a CRT Controller (this is X terminology). */
g_set_error (error, GNOME_RR_ERROR, GNOME_RR_ERROR_RANDR_ERROR,
	     _("could not get the screen resources (CRTCs, outputs, modes)"));

to something like:

g_set_error (error, GNOME_RR_ERROR, GNOME_RR_ERROR_RANDR_ERROR,
/* Translators: a CRTC is a CRT Controller (this is X terminology). */
	     _("could not get the screen resources (CRTCs, outputs, modes)"));


Thanks.
