Unfortunately it looks like some string changes have been made that make it impossible to translate those strings anymore in a correct way. I noticed these: "Welcome to " - two of these "About " "distributed with " - in the end of the long Pidgin description, also starts with empty space but there the non-conjugated "Pidgin" fits in at least in my language "You are using " "_Force (traditional " "Options specific to Windows " "Provides options specific to Windows " All of the above are probably attaching "Pidgin" after the string, which breaks the translations in many languages as the translator is not given the possibility to conjugate the word Pidgin in the way that would fit the string. I tried to work around the problems but it's usually simply quite impossible without the translation sounding very stupid. I guess the idea was to keep some more parts of the translations not bound to the program name, but could these listed ones be reverted so that they include the "Pidgin" in the English translatable string? There were some others similar to these, too, but I'd guess they are translatable still in every language - the difference is that in those above there some extra word like "to", "about", "with" etc., which in many languages are done by conjugating the words. Not sure why, but some items seem not to be translated at all in the UI now, including "Welcome to Pidgin!", and "You have no accounts enabled..." and the About Pidgin dialog including the title and the first paragraph describing Pidgin. I'm currently using the snapshot linked to at http://developer.pidgin.im/, with (again) fully translated fi.po file. -Timo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
