Description Philip Withnall 2011-11-28 20:27:19 UTC 
There are various ‘system’ groups which make an appearance in folks, mostly coming from Google Contacts via EDS. For example, “My Contacts” in Google Contacts maps to EDS’ “Personal” group. (See: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/tree/addressbook/backends/google/e-book-backend-google.c#n873.)

Making users of folks compare against potentially-translated group names to try and work out if a persona’s in a system group is an icky API. We should be able to do better, though this may require modifying EDS to also expose information about ‘system’ groups.

Humm so maybe an easier fix for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660281#c16 would be to just ignore "system" groups in Empathy.

Would be cool to have this for 3.4.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2011-11-29 11:13:32 UTC 
Not only is it translated, but the translation domain is version dependent.
Here is my hack to use it:
