Dear translators, Gconf key values should not be translated to your language only (by dropping the original english string) because it makes it impossible for users to set them manually, e.g. by using gconf-editor. That is what the literal quotes should imply, see http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Enclose%20literal%20values%20in%20double%20quotes .
Example: msgid "Possible values are \"always\", "\"bonded\"." bad msgstr "Los valores posibles son: «siempre», «vinculados». good msgstr "Los valores posibles son: «always» (siempre), «bonded» (vinculados)." I've grep'ed the evolution po files and found 37 wrong po files. Nautilus: 21 po files. Epiphany: 20 po files. While I'm going to file bug reports for the rest of the evening I ask you how to avoid this. :-) To me it's obvious by looking at the filename of the string (ending with ".schemas.in") that these values should not be translated, but to lots of other translators it's not. In http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569457 aloriel proposes to add a comment to each of these strings.
