FWIW, I had a look at the sources (1.3.1). Found /po/fr.po. Here is an excerpt: --- #. TRANSLATORS: This is the title on main view. Placeholder is #. * the service name. Example: "Google - synced just now" #: ../src/gtk-ui/sync-ui.c:541 #, c-format msgid "%s - synced just now" msgstr "%s - dernière synchronisation il y a quelques secondes" #: ../src/gtk-ui/sync-ui.c:545 #, c-format msgid "%s - synced a minute ago" msgstr "%s - dernière synchronisation il y a moins d'une minute" --- and so on. As you can see, the French is considerably longer. In particular, "synchronisation" is never abridged. I have no simple way to start the UI in English, but I'd bet it looks better. Further in the fr.po file they talk about linebreaks allowed. But I don't know if it can be done here in the main title. However, I plan to try two modified versions of this fr.po, one with linebreaks and the other with shortened French labels. I'll come back and report if I get something conclusive. > > [...] > Now for the autosync part. The localization of the notification messages appears to be addressed in fr.po, e.g.: --- #. if sync is successfully started and done #: ../src/syncevo-dbus-server.cpp:6670 #, c-format msgid "%s sync complete" msgstr "Synchronisation %s terminée" --- but, for some reason, the translated strings don't make it into my notification messages (Linux Mint, Debian, XFCE). I wonder if it's an XFCE issue: do other users get their notifications translated?
