It's not your fault, I think it's more a genreal problem and

I've asked the iso-codes maintainer's opinion on this thread. It's a
very important issue for emerging languages, and for i18n programs in
general.

Guys/Girls,
I've been told to announce to you helpful people that I had imported the
gnome-power-manager module into GNOME CVS.
If you want to translate any of what we've done so far (there's a 70%
done German translation already) then it would be most appreciated.
If I've done anything wrong w.
I just committed the patch in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305331 which will change
some strings related to launching Metacity.

Last night, I wrapped the string ", " with a msgstr element to
prevent whitespace mangling. Danilo pointed out that intltool
respects the xml:space attribute, so I've taken out the wrapper
msgstr, put in an xml:space, and left in the expanded comment. :)

I have changed "Filesystem" to "File System" here too, for consistency.

I have just committed a string change to GTK+ head,
changing "Filesystem" to "File System", following
a similar change done earlier in Nautilus.

Regrettably, I had to change the string ", " in gnome-doc-utils to
the more obscure ", ". That extra msgstr wrapper
is ignored by my i18n stylesheets. Its only purpose is to prevent
intltool from mangling the very important trailing whitespace.
On the plus side, I put in a much better comment ex
