Hi!

Does anyone know, what does the string "You have pounced!" mean? Another question is, if this title is really appropriate?

#: ../pidgin/gtknotify.c:1624
msgid "<span weight=\"bold\" size=\"larger\">You have pounced!</span>"
msgstr "<span weight=\"bold\" size=\"larger\">Sie wurden angestoßen!</span>"

I found, that this string is used as a title for the dialog, where new buddy alarm events are displayed (see screenshot). Until now, all attempts to find a German translation which closely translate the English original (like the active form "Sie haben geklopft!" or the passive form "Sie wurden angestoßen!") failed because they do not describe, what really happens in the dialog. See also http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10446

Isn't something like "You received new buddy pounces" or just "New pounces" like in the title more appropriate? One problem is, that there can be 1 (title "New pounce") or more buddy pounces (title in plural form "New pounces") in the dialog.

Greetings, Björn
