GtkBuilder file: unmark 'foobar' for translation (1.12 KB, patch)
2014-01-11 20:02 UTC, Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 		committed Details | Review

Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2014-01-11 20:00:01 UTC 
gnome-bluetooth has a very strange string marked for translation:

./settings.ui:        <property name="label" translatable="yes">Please enter the following PIN on 'Foobar':</property>

From an inspection of the code it appears that this string will never actually make it onto the screen, but it is marked for translation anyway.  That's putting translators into a pretty confusing situation.

GtkBuilder file: unmark 'foobar' for translation

'Foobar' is just being used as a plateholder in the GtkBuilder file, so
unmark it for translation.

glade keeps re-marking those as translatable :/
