Hi, I like the way it had been done some time ago (possibly years ago), thus I'll keep it '%s : %s'. > It may be already too late to change the notation so maybe use > nonbreaking spaces (Unicode character 160 dec or A0 hex)? What if a > line gets wrapped at this point? The account name (the first %s) and/or even the folder name (the second %s) can also contain spaces, thus the nonbreaking space might not give much value. But good idea otherwise, I didn't think of it earlier. > > maybe replace %s : %s with a single %s using some C magic. :) Right. The evolution code uses a "C magic", which may or may not be good (would RTL languages prefer to switch the order or not). I thought it'll be better done in place in eds, also to avoid one more string allocation and immediate free of it. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future. > +1 for suggesting that a translators comment would be helpful here > explaining that spaces are intentional and should be preserved > as well as explaining what are those %s's. Okay, I added translator comments above those strings. There were above some already, but not above all. I made them the same or quite similar: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=01b088cc3 Thanks and bye, Milan _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
