Hello :) I have just translated the file gnucash-2.2.1 for the Translation Project. In doing so, I've encountered the following typos, which I thought you might like to weed out in a future release.
(I've also done the update to gnucash-2.2.2, but I noted these errors in the 2.2.1 PO file.) ____ 1. #.Translators: %1$s is the type of the first check #.* format (user defined or application defined); %2$s #.* is the filename of that format; %3$s the type of #.* the other check format; and %4$s the filename of #.* that other format. #: ../src/gnome/dialog-print-check.c:1091 #, c-format msgid "" "The guids in the %s check format file '%s' and the %s check format file '%s' " "match." - guids + guides ? Unless you mean GUID? 2. #.FIXME: each g_strdup_printf as well as g_strconcat #.will allocate a new string; all of these need to be #.freed later. Currently this causes a lot of memory #.leaks. #: ../src/gnome/druid-merge.c:355 #, c-format msgid "%i:Parameter name: %s " - %i:Parameter + %i: Parameter 3.
