Christian:
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.
Apologies. I've backed out this change. I didn't realize that this was a string freeze issue.
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.
Apologies for not sending out a notification. I didn't realize that you needed to send out a notice for marking a string for translation. I thought you only needed to send notification when adding new strings. I will be more careful in the future.
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.
The first message has been backed out.
