Typo in the po file
Hi I think there is a typo in the po file. The phrase: "The layout of icons, name, and status of the blist", shouldn't be "The layout of icons, name, and status of the list" instead?
Thanks in advance -- "A critical section of code is like a bathroom. Only one person is allowed inside at once. Iker Gondra, Operating Systems St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, NS"

Re: Typo in the po file
I guessed blist is short for "buddy list" but I don't know if it will
be widely understood by end-users.

Yes, "blist" means "buddy list." I don't think we should show that
term to end-users though. I think we should change this string to
"buddy list." Does anyone know where this string is actually used? I
couldn't find it in our UI.

Oh, but where does this text appear in Pidgin?

Gary Kramlich or Justin Rodriguez, do you guys know the purpose of
these strings? I don't know what a GParamSpec is used for, and I'm
wondering if we really need to be translating these two strings and
the other 20 or 30 strings near it in that file.
Thanks,
Mark

Is there a theme editor in 2.6.0? These strings look like what I would
expect if a theme editor existed.

Yes, there is a "Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control" plugin and a "Pidgin Theme
Editor" plugin. But I can't find that string in either plugin. Gary?
Justin?

These strings are not user visible. They are informational strings for
developers. Some projects split these entries off into their own separate po
files; we don't have any such infrastructure in place (should we?), so they land
in the regular po files. These strings can be used to generate documentation,
but I don't recall the specifics of it. Gary or Justin should know more about
this than I do.

Well, for reference there are 30 strings marked for translation in
that file that may never be seen by a human, let alone one who doesn't
speak English. We should determine if it's useful to developers for
us to translate those strings, or if there is so much other stuff in
English that the developer is going to need to know English anyway.

I strongly suspect that these strings are not "not user visible",
especially if no labels are found in the theme editor and you can't
have a theme editor with dozens of unlabelled things to edit. It looks
suspiciously like the theme editor is reading these "informational
strings" from whatever data structure pidgin internally uses and
presenting them to the user as labels.
