There has recently been an unannounced string freeze breakage in the
string frozen gdm2 HEAD branch.
There are two affected messages. First of all, it is this added message:
#: gui/gdmlanguages.c:83
msgid "A-M|Chinese (HongKong)"
That addition broke string freeze. As much as we'd like to have entries
for locales added to the GDM login screen, right *now* (almost four
weeks into the string freeze, well into the hard code freeze, and four
days from the .0 release) is a very bad time to add an additional
locale.
Furthermore, it is this message:
#: gui/gdmsetup.c:2191
msgid "_Remove Theme"
The relevant parts of the big ChangeLog entry seems to be these:
Fri Mar 04 12:50:00 2005 Brian Cameron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* gui/gdmsetup.c: Mark "Remove Theme" for translation.
* gui/gdmlanguages.c: Add zh_HK and remove <span> tags
in language display since they were causing formatting
problems for some users.
The second message was in order to fix a bug where a message hadn't
previously been marked for translation, and as such it isn't really a
string freeze breakage. But we still want translators to be notified
when such things happen. No notice has been sent to translators in this
case.
I suggest that the message stays in though, although translators should
at the very least have been given some warning.
The first message is a string freeze breaking change -- I suggest it be
reverted immediately. This is not the time for such additions. Perhaps
we can discuss it again for GNOME 2.10.1, but for now it should be
reverted.
