If you don't have i18n approval I think you can add the strings as

We don't want to have them that way if we can avoid it. Only in the
case where this doesn't significantly hurt the UI appearance in a
translated desktop, we *may* consider and/or suggest it.
How often do users actually see gconf key strings? They're hidden deep
inside gconf-editor. You don't see them if you don't go looking for them.

unextracted strings in Epiphany
Hi, I just fixed a bug in Epiphany's po/Makevars file which caused strings with context (Q_(context|string)) not to be extracted into the pofiles. Those strings will appear in the pofiles now.

gtkhtml string change request.
hi, slap me hard, but when fixing gtkhtml bug 329471, i somehow managed to only change the tooltip, but not the name of the offending menu item itself. the bug reporter (and me too) think that the string Lick could be pretty offensive in business workplaces, so i ask for approval to change the term Li_ck to Ton_gue. it's part of the emoticons submenu in the evolution html composer. the meaning of the string will not change at all, so it does not have to be translated again. if this would get approval, i will also patch all the po files, so no action would be required from the translators. may i do this, or must this be postponed? cheers thanks, andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed! http://www.iomc.de signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

It's still tricky: someone might want to translate it differently (maybe they also used a bit more offensive language for lick translation). So, I'd either agree to your proposal (but I'd wait for another opinion or two of translators: I did count Roozbeh's in ;), or, I'd suggest simply putting a translators comment that one could use a less offensive translation, probably even suggesting tongue. Of course, the latter solution wouldn't solve it for POSIX users (we can easily add en_US.po to fix it for Americans, and later remove it once the proper fix is in place). may i do this, or must this be postponed? If we go with your proposal (to also patch PO files), you'll have to notify gnome-i18n when you start tinkering with PO files and when you finish it (so we avoid CVS conflicts). Anyway, any of the two options I'd consider would almost not affect translators at all, so I'll wait a couple of days to see if any translator has a problem with just replacing Lick with Tongue in all PO files.

Hi Ross, Yesterday at 22:38, Ross Burton wrote: This morning I committed a change to SJ that changes a set of translated strings from Sample Artist, etc to real data. I marked these as translatable but I only expect them to be translated if the translation is for a country that has never heard of The Beatles (this is documented in the code comments). Hopefully this is okay and I haven't upset the release team/i18n team too much. If I have, I can revert the change. As I told you privately already, yes, I'd like you to either revert this change, or remove N_() markers if you don't want these to be translated. I have already explained for a hundred times why this is important to us to have no string changes during this period, and don't feel like repeating right now: in short, string freeze is there for a reason. (basically, imagine 50 [and we have nearly 100] modules doing only 4-5 string changes, which amounts to a total of 200-250 string changes in entire Gnome, which is almost 1% of full Gnome translation, and can thus hurt some languages when we judge their status; not to mention that it means more work for 50+ translators) Cheers, Danilo ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

I concure. I simply have not been able to commit the time necessary to do justice to the work and the expectations. I hope to contribute in the future.

It's difficult. Showing your tongue at all, especially sticking it out, is _very_ rude in Vietnamese culture, and that probably applies to some other Asian cultures. However, that emoticon is widely-used, so a translation is necessary. Tongue does give us more leeway than Lick. For now. I've stuck with stick out your tongue in the medical sense. It's difficult to describe an emotion, but we could also try to do that: tongue in cheek or unsure/embarrassed, if that's the majority use of this emoticon? from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
