You are right. I don't like the glib implementation. It totally ignores the fact that translators are not programmers, and that they will translate everything, no matter what you tell them. > So I think it should be: > > msgid "ButtonBar|Quit" > msgstr "Konec" > > but the best would be to test it with glib >= 2.4. It's working fine with glib 2.6.6 because it doesn't include glib/gi18n.h when glib.h is included. If I include glib/gi18n.h, bad things do happen. I hope when glib/gi18n.h is included in glib.h, it will be mature enough to avoid such stupidities. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
