I have stopped marking them as translatable. If you think the warning/error/message is important, you should use a dialog (or what so ever) anyway. You can't rely on console messages if the user uses a gui. (Only strings like --version and option entries should be translatable, since the users specifically asks about them in a console)
Some warnings are also hard to translate, which leads to more confusion for both the user and the developer when receiving the bug report (like Jean-François already said), How can a translator know if it's a console message or not? Indeed they can't. The string might even be used multiple times (in both console and gui). The only thing is, if you use error messages from (for exaple) glib, then they are translated. So it could result in a half translated message. Nick _______________________________________________ Xfce-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n
