What I meant was that we had a couple of cases recently in this list. However, with the current system in place (git hooks, etc), there should be no more instances were you end up with invalid PO files in at least this module.

I have to maintain list of files to be considered in the translation process, along with list of files to be excluded. But I don't have to care about the strings themselves when I update the code, adding modifying or removing a string.. Is it more correct ?

Hi Pierre, If your module is completely intltool compliant (as it seems to be in your case), you shouldn't bother about updating po files at all. This task is taken care of by our tool, damned-lies, which updates the po files for translators to pick [1] (or translators can do this themselves by running 'intltool-update ' in the po directory).

You should also report a bug in Bugzilla under the 'l10n' product and the corresponding language component, not only in order to put the blame where the blame belongs, but moreover to notify the corresponding language translators that this message was syntactically erroneous and needs a proper fix. In this case, please report in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=l10n&component=Dzongkha%20[dz].

The typical process is, for such problematic messages, to change it from: #: ../libnautilus-actions/nautilus-actions-config-schema-reader.c:744 #, c-format msgid "" "This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing key: %s)%s" msgid_plural "" to #: ../libnautilus-actions/nautilus-actions-config-schema-reader.c:744 #, fuzzy, c-format msgid "" "This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing key: %s)%s" msgid_plural "" which means, you add 'fuzzy' to the message type, and then the tools will consider this message requires attention from the translator, and will not flag as invalid anymore. This issue happens quite often, so I'll look into where to add in the documentation. Simos ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
