Description Rudolfs Mazurs 2012-03-13 14:04:44 UTC 
For sting "Long" there is comment "long delay", which is true for mouse and keyboard, but this is also used for length of crosshair in /panels/universal-access/zoom-options.c:337. Either split the string "Long" into two parts or change the comment for translators to "long delay or length".

In Latvian both concepts can be described with the same word, but I am not sure for others.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-03-13 14:26:44 UTC 
Adding a translation context would break the string freeze:

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2012-03-13 16:41:24 UTC 
Rudolfs, if it's important enough, I'll request a string freeze break, otherwise that'll be for 3.6.
Comment 4 Rudolfs Mazurs 2012-03-13 16:45:05 UTC 
No string freeze brake needed. I used a word which can be used in both cases.
