Not equal? Traditionally, in the UK and US, women have taken their husband's name on marriage. When you want to tell people a woman's name and have both her old and new names listed, you would write it like this: Lucy Hall nee Auger where nee is the French word for born, because that was the name she was born with. This is an example of the same idea: they are saying that what is now Tomboy was once Stickynotes. However, they appear to think that Tomboy is male, so are using the masculine form of nee, ne. (This is rather amusing, since in English a tomboy must necessarily be female.) If the same concept doesn't exist in your language, you could treat it as something like Tomboy, formerly Stickynotes. This issue actually came up in a previous l10n bug in Bugzilla. When consulted, the French translator didn't recognize ne without its accent, either. The question of software gender further complicated matters. It would really be better to avoid uncommon usage in original strings. formerly or previously both sound good to me. from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

The answer to this question has been given in another reply, so I won't repeat it hear. However, there's another problem with this string: Stickynotes is called Sticky Notes in all other strings. mvrgr, Wouter -- :wq mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://uwstopia.nl just a little strength in our hearts :: enough to heal -- heather nova signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Marking strings translatable in gucharmap
I want to fix a bug in gucharmap that causes two new strings (Next Block, Previous Block) being marked for translation. These strings have been marked for translation before we switched to GtkUIManager (about 9 months ago), so many translation files already have those translated (grep suggests 33 out of 71 .po files contain them.) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352665 May I? -- behdad http://behdad.org/ Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill -- Dan Bern, New American Language ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
