Description OKANO Takayoshi 2012-04-19 14:59:19 UTC 
I'm trying to translate UI of gnome-system-monitor into Japanese,
and confused by messages depending on English.

gnome-system-monitor/tree/src/procdialogs.cpp:
>     text = g_strdup_printf(_("(%s Priority)"), procman::get_nice_level (info->nice));

>     gchar* text = g_strdup_printf(_("(%s Priority)"), procman::get_nice_level (new_nice_value));

These messages "(%s Priority)" are displayed like "(Very High Priority)"
according to user's choice of nice value and message strings for "_Change Priority" menu.

It depends on English language (word order, etc.),
and messages should be separated e.g. into "Very High" and "(Very High Priority)".
