Sure they can! There are various ways for commenting messages, at least one created for specifically this purpose - separating the comment and string with |, for example Tooltip|Create CD. Now this leads this to something I wanted to say earlier. I think if a string appears in multiple locations, they should be separate entries, even if they are the same in English. In some languages, the forms of names in tooltips and toolbar buttons may (and does) differ, for example. ~Kristjan > > > Nick > _______________________________________________ > Xfce-i18n mailing list > [email protected] > http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n >
