Description northa 2014-08-17 22:14:43 UTC 
I just did an translation to Swedish, and noticed some strings that might contain bugs:

#: ../data/org.gnome.meld.gschema.xml.h:50
msgid ""
"Choices for file order are remote/merge/local and local/merged/remote. This "

Shouldn't this be "merge" and not "merged" here also, like everywhere else in file?

#: ../meld/filediff.py:257
msgid "Clear manual change sychronization points"

Clear manually changed synchronization points?

#: ../data/org.gnome.meld.gschema.xml.h:24
msgid ""
"If false, the defined custom font will be used instead of the system "
"monospace font."

Is the "defined" really needed here? It's also used quite a lot in other strings, where it seems unnecessary.

Yes.

I can see why you might think that, but no. 'change synchronization points' are what's being cleared here, and they have been manually added. Maybe just removing the word 'manual' would be clearer?

I'm find to remove it from here. As for elsewhere... I don't know. The gschema descriptions aren't the best in the world, so I'm also not too fussed about them, but happy to take improvements.

Oh, and thank you for the translation!

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
