In the existing .po translation files the strings I notice strings for About, Preferences. You could help make the translation work easier for us and get "free" translation into many languages by using the GTK stock items for these and other items whenever possible. I also see some markup tags in your po file. I'm no expert on this but I believe there is some recommendation about keeping markup out of the translations files, particularly when the markup applies to the whole string rather than say one word in the middle of a text (and this can potentially save having to translated two different marked up versions of the same string). I'm not sure the use of the markup follows the HIG in some cases. According to the current version of the HIG Tab headers should not include mnemonics as it si all to easy to accidentally end up with conflicts and they are not really needed as there are already other ways provided to switch tabs (for example: _Current Programmes clashes with _Channels and _Close). (Something about your use of N/A doesn't seem right. Maybe it is my dislike of indecipherable Acronyms and Abbreviations but I'm not sure if there is a standard convetion for this sort of thing in Gnome, like maybe using the label "None".) I will probably have more feedback for you as I take a closer look at OnTV but it looks like an Applet I might actually want to use (that's a compliment). Sincerely Alan Horkan P.S. Entertainment Now, good show isn't it. ;) http://johan.svedberg.com/projects/coding/ontv/ontv.png _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
