Hello everybody! Reviewing translations of the “dconf-editor” module I
maintain, I’ve discovered that I had a string generation problem: in
the gschema file, four strings contains line breaks, but these line
breaks doesn’t finish in the po files, and so the translations made by
translators do not finish in the application. So sad. :·( That has
been reported in the Bugzilla instance by Piotr Drąg[1] against GLib
using another module as example.
So. I’m not sure if I’m in a “string freeze break request” case or not
(I don’t find my exact case in the Wiki[2]), but I have two
proposition for fixing these bug-ly untranslated strings:
– Proposition 1: fix the string generation using “

” in the
gschema file, and let translators redo the translations;
– Proposition 2: replace the two line breaks by one space, so that
all translations already done work, but without any line break (and
I’d change the strings next cycle for what is wanted).
I had also planned a 1bis proposition, where I fix the gschema file
and all the translations in one patch, avoiding work from translators,
but following previous discussion, that’s probably not a path I can
follow. ;)
Anyway, should I do something, or not, and if yes what? That’s not an
important change, but for now translators are working on strings that
doesn’t appear, and that lost time makes me sad. :·(
Waiting for your suggestions,
Arnaud
