Its an error message. Something you'll see on stderr, not the kind that shows up in dialogs. We don't translate most of these in GTK+ anyway. On top of this, it is a transient placeholder - it will go away if GL functionality gets implemented on OS X (and before then, it will only show up if you happen to use GTK+ on OS X). So, I don't think it is worth loosing too much sleep over, tbh. _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
