What you need to do here is to commit the translation to both 'master' and branch (now, 'gnome-2-32'). See http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/GitHowTo for more. Your 7% translation was last touched in 2009. If there is a translation that the L10n page says that it is for branch 'gnome-2-32', I commit to branch 2-32 and I also commit a copy to 'master' so that they are in sync. Otherwise, 'master' is not updated and the translation is stuck in gnome-2-32. Simos ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Re: Construction of sentences with embedded widgets
Op zaterdag 04-09-2010 om 22:54 uur [tijdzone +0100], schreef Matthew Paul Thomas: An alternative method, which would be easier for translators but require a little more coding, would be to use a single string _(Forget this password when idle for %s minutes) and then to insert the widget in the right place by splitting the translated string on the %s. ...which is what I suggested before, but this isn't as easy as it seems in more complex cases with more than a single embedded widget, because of possible reordering of the placeholders (with the %2$s syntax for sprintf()). Fwiw, I have used this approach successfully with HTML forms. Since widgets in HTML are encoded as strings, sprintf() can be used in all its glory (though special care must be taken to properly escape all values). — Wouter signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
