           Summary: Untranslatable string due to wrong usage of gettext
        QA Contact: [email protected]
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: daemon
           Product: PulseAudio

Untranslatable string due to wrong usage of gettext here in src/daemon/main.c,
line 271:
    pa_log_info(_("Successfully changed user to \"" PA_SYSTEM_USER "\"."));

Because Gettext can only extract string constants and cannot parse C
preprocessor variables, it extracts only the first part - "Successfully changed
user to \"". Then, because the whole string along with PA_SYSTEM_USER, etc is
passed into the _() call, translation for that is not found and the string is
never translated into any language.

Solution: pass PA_SYSTEM_USER as "%s", like this:
    pa_log_info(_("Successfully changed user to \"%s\"."), PA_SYSTEM_USER);
