Indeed most of the time this is not useful. Nevertheless the meaning of strings may sometimes be unclear out of their context (at least for me), for example: "Add &Open". Another problem is the position of the & in the translated string. To choose a right position whithout knowing all the entries of the menu is difficult. The only way to solve this problem is to find the menu itself.

Nothing is insurmountable and I hope I didn't give the impression that translating RG is more difficult that it really is. Currently there is no real problem. BTW I see "D. Michael McIntyre" among the source strings in the QObject context. Does it really needs a translation ? :) Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
