Thanks Raphael. The latest patch has that string marked translatable. Without the patch, users see author names that aren't helpful and of course aren't translated. With the patch, users see a special author name that is helpful if translated, but if the special name doesn't get translated, it's exactly as unhelpful as before.
So I don't really see the harm in committing this. ;-) Sandy On 2/23/07, Raphael Higino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, Sanford. > > Speaking for myself, I would like to have that string translatable.
