OK, after some arm twisting, I've been convinced to unretract this request. So, I'm re-requesting it with the following amendment: we will fix the ngettext issue with the " % items" string for nautilus.py.
The nautilus.py fix is the result of a user request, and is discussed laboriously here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350674. We'd really like to get this fix in for GNOME 2.18 as it addresses a usability issue. The Gecko.py fix is just due to stupidity on my part for not marking the strings as translatable to begin with. Are these things we can get in for GNOME 2.18? Will Willie Walker wrote: > Hi All: > > Due to various midair collisions, I'm getting the feeling that the > timing of this is all bad.
