I don't really mind *translating* them - they are very small strings in any case. But they have to be reviewed and go through the whole procedure, and it adds up a bit no matter whether you have a compendium or not (a compendium helps a lot with the license texts though). But it was my impression that one instead uses stock labels like the "Save as..." and "About". Don't we have those? Also, not too many releases ago something similar happened where several messages appeared in many modules. Like "Unrecognized desktop file version" (I still remember that one). It's a bit strange, that's why I ask. Regards Ask _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
