The python-format is documented in the GNU gettext doc as follows: Python format strings are described in Python Library reference / 2. Built-in Types, Exceptions and Functions / 2.2. Built-in Types / 2.2.6. Sequence Types / 2.2.6.2. String Formatting Operations. `http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.1/lib/typesseq-strings.html'. Now when you look at this URL, you will find no traces of the reordering with $ as in C. This means, this syntax is not supported in Python. But what is supported is named arguments: Search %(engine)s for %(term)s Tìm kiếm %(term)s trong %(engine)s But you will have first to report a bug to the developers, asking them to use the string "Search %(engine)s for %(term)s". (See the Report-Msgid-Bugs-To address.) Bruno _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
