Fix strings in "Composer Preferences > Send Account" tab
Last modified: 2014-02-25 10:18:05 UTC
3.11.90: Spotted "Edit > Preferences > Composer Preferences > Send Account". Not happy. "Folder override has precedence over Recipient override" checkbox misses a mnemonic. None of the "Add", "Edit", "Remove" buttons have any mnemonics either. #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:51 msgid "Add" #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:52 msgid "Remove" #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:54 msgid "Edit" Are mnemonics something extremely new, or how can this recurring pattern be explained? Get the pot file, check for the same strings with existing mnemonics, realize you needlessly created additional work for translators? #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:53 msgid " Use for Folders " #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:55 msgid " Use for Recipients " #: ../mail/mail-config.ui.h:56 msgid " Account " Cough, using surrounding spaces instead of defining margin/padding? "Account" is already translated for modules/mail/em-composer-prefs.c:870 so this is adding yet another string for translators due to ugly design. This might also welcome translator comments - https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments
Fixed all three things in commit 3176e83 [1] for 3.11.91+, though I'm unsure about the translators comments, thus feel free to fix them into any better. [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=3176e83
Milan: Thanks, that looks great! Did you send a message to gnome-i18n@ about the string change? We're in string change announcement period: https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointEleven#Schedule
Err, I thought the string change announcement period was cancelled due to no usability couple releases back. There was some buzz along those lines at least, but I confess I did not follow the conversation closely.
String change announcement was merged into "The Freeze". See the schedule.
