I just committed (into master) a fix a bug in vinagre which doesn't allow you to use a different port than 22 when doing SSH tunneling[1]. The fix adds two new strings, explaining to the user how to supply a different port: string 1: Supply an alternative port using colon string 2: For instance: j...@domain.com:5022 So, I'd really like to backport this commit to 2.30 branch and do a 2.30.2 release today or tomorrow. I know you already have 2/2, but I think these strings could be improved. What about this: - Supply an alternative port by specifying a colon and the port - Example: j...@example.org:2022 I think these strings would be a) grammatically correct and b) more instructive, and c) the example doesn't ‘abuse’ domain.com either. — Wouter Hi, Woulter, thanks for your improvements. Regarding to the first sentence, indeed it's more correct and instructive but as it appears in a tooltip, if the string is too long it will break in two lines. Do you have a shorter phrase?

Hi! Hi, Woulter, thanks for your improvements. Regarding to the first sentence, indeed it's more correct and instructive but as it appears in a tooltip, if the string is too long it will break in two lines. Do you have a shorter phrase? Just a note: Is there a problem with multi-line tooltips? I don't think so. And you cannot estimate how long a sentence will be in a foreign language and as such just don't make assumptions on this in the UI.

Re: String additions to 'gdm.gnome-2-30'

There have been following string additions to module 'gdm.gnome-2-30': + Keyboard + Language + Session Note that this doesn't directly indicate a string freeze break, but it might be worth investigating. Hi Jon, The commit 1b334350 (Remove text labels for option menus) in gnome-2-30 branch of GDM is breaking string freeze. Could this be reverted or is it a critical fix for which an exception should be asked for? Would the gdm mailing list be more responsive :-) ?

Hi Jonh, Johannes, I'm replying to both messages at once. Am Donnerstag, den 17.06.2010, 12:20 + schrieb j...@jsschmid.de: Hi, Woulter, thanks for your improvements. No problem; you're welcome! (Oh, and my name is Wouter.) Regarding to the first sentence, indeed it's more correct and instructive but as it appears in a tooltip, if the string is too long it will break in two lines. Do you have a shorter phrase? I don't think shorter phrases communicate the meaning well in this case. Since this is about a specific syntax, exact phrasing is important. Just a note: Is there a problem with multi-line tooltips? I don't think so. And you cannot estimate how long a sentence will be in a foreign language and as such just don't make assumptions on this in the UI. Agreed. Furthermore, clearer wording and hence an improved user interface is always more important than space considerations, especially given the unknown length of translations. — Wouter signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
