Hello,
during 3.25 development cycle I made a change for [1], where I marked
Fwd and Re attributions for translation, as requested by the reporter.
What I didn't realize at that moment was that people in
internationalized environments might have problem with it (not talking
that the "Re" is part of RFC, which I missed completely). It stroke
shortly after those users begun to use 3.26 in locale which had
translated those strings. It resulted in bug [2].
I just committed a fix for it for 3.27.1 [3], but I'd like to add the
change also for 3.26.2. The original change contains also UI changes,
because I added a checkbox for it into the Composer Preferences, but
I'd like to simplify the change for 3.26 and include only translatable
strings in GSettings [4]. The default value for the option is not to
use translated Fwd/Re, which will fix it for majority of the users and
those whom prefer the translated strings can change the values of the
option manually or wait for 3.28.0.
I believe that regular users access GSettings/DConf only when told to
do it, thus these two strings [4] not being translated should not cause
any significant harm, especially in compare of the issue itself.
Thanks and bye,
Milan
