network-manager-applet translations
Hi Dan, I saw that a bunch of various network-manager-applet translations have been committed to Git, bypassing completely the GTP. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=589230 http://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/log/?h=master (May 21st) This is not nice as it does not respect the general policy that GNOME Git-hosted modules are handled through GNOME Translation teams. Could you please in the future redirect those contributions to concerned teams of the GTP? Cheers, Claude ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

I'd like to raise a question which was already discussed in gnome-i18n with no end result [1] in legal-l...@gnome.org hence this email. Recently one of Gnome localizers, Andika Triwidada, asked in gnome-i18n if we should really translate legal notices found in Gnome software translation catalogues. He stated that there is a policy for this in Fedora Project [2] which states that asks translators not to translate legal notices since such translations are risky if not approved by professional lawyers (which is of course not the case for 99% of Gnome translations). Localization participants tried to find any related policy on Gnome Wiki pages with no success. Some translators stated that they translate everything put in translation catalogues, legal notices included. It would be great if Gnome legal experts will discuss this problem in more detail and end up with final policy for translators. Below are some examples of such translation messages. They are quite common in Gnome applications translation catalogues. #: ../src/brasero-app.c:1153 msgid Brasero is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. msgstr #: ../src/brasero-app.c:1158 msgid Brasero is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

String additions to 'gtk-engines.master'
This is an automatic notification from status generation scripts on: http://l10n.gnome.org. There have been following string additions to module 'gtk-engines.master': + Shade of accelerator labels + The value used to mix the label color with the background color. The value is effectively the opacity.
