Dear Geert, unfortunately even this updated patch won't work.
The problem is that the translators will see the string including @-VERSION-@ in the gnucash.pot file, and provide a translation for that. But at runtime, the string will be different (due to the creation rule for tip_of_the_day.list), as it will contain "2.2.9" instead of "@-VERSION-@" at this place. Hence, no translation for this can be found anymore, because the translations match only for the string containing @-versi...@. The deeper reason for this is that the version number replacement of any placeholder must be done *after translation*, which implies it can only be done at run-time and not at install time (which your patch would do). I think the only solution is to change the code that displays the tip_of_day to check whether the string contains "%s", *after translation*. If it does, the translated string is passed through g_strdup_printf to insert some version number here. Regards, Christian Am Dienstag, 27.
