Hi!
Quick things first: Bjoern, I found a place where you sliped once and
translated Channel instead of Room. See a bit further below for a pseudo
diff on that. I though don't believe that this is what Jonas really
meant.

I can relate, though: Where are they called Raum? Because taking a look
at the po file it seems to be consistently translated from "channel" to
"Kanal" and from "room" to "Raum" where it applies. This is no
translation bug but a problem that already exists in the english
original, thus removing of the tag.

But the string most propably _is_ room originally. Please be more
specific in what context the message appears and maybe also think about
wether it might be used there as a general term that should apply to all
networks pidgin supports or if it really _is_ IRC specific - because I
see quite a lot of mentioning of "channel" in the original strings that
it seems to be just a misuage at a certain spot.
Though, I found _one_ place where it seems to be translated wrongly:
#v+
msgid ""
"j <room1>[,room2][,...] [key1[,key2][,...]]: Enter one or more "
"channels, optionally providing a channel key for each if needed."
msgstr ""
"j <Raum1>[,Raum2][,...] [Schlüssel1[,Schlüssel2][,...]]: Einen oder "
-"mehrere Räume angeben, optional jeden mit einem Kanal-Schlüssel, falls "
+"mehrere Kanäle angeben, optional jeden mit einem Kanal-Schlüssel, falls "
"dieser benötigt wird."
#v-
(please notice that I used msgunfmt on the .mo file and thus I don't
have the code reference header for the po file, but it shouldn't be hard
too find that string in the according po file)
So long,
Rhonda
