Please forward this reply to the rest of the team - your assessments are incorrect - there is only one very minor typo here.

The message string is correct. (I wrote and designed the format, I think I can say with some certainty that the correct name is QSF.) :-) It is perfectly possible for QOF to support a different XML format in the future, hence the distinguishing name for the current default. > -" Use exactly one of -i -l --gui or --explain;\n" > +" Use exactly one of -i, -l. --gui or --explain;\n" The comma and fullstop are misplaced. Any one of those four options is valid. The message string is correct. Please do not include the changed msgid in your translation - the patch is likely to be rejected. > -" options are -c -t -w, -s or -f.\n" > +" options are -c -t -w, -s and -f.\n" The options are "or" not "and", using -s precludes -f. The message string is, again, correct. I do require that your translation specifies 'or' here, not 'and' - please ensure that it is translated in that manner. > -msgid "%s: ERROR: specify only one of-i, -l, --gui or --explain.\n" > +msgid "%s: ERROR: specify only one of -i, -l, --gui or --explain.\n" > > -msgid " Expenses applet for GPE on iPAQ .\n" > +msgid " Expenses applet for GPE on iPAQ.\n" OK, that's minor. I'll change that for the next upload. > -"%s: Error: please specify which database you would like explained. > \n" > +"%s: ERROR: please specify which database you would like > explained.\n" Where is it mandated that "Error" needs to be uppercase? The message string is correct. There is no need to shout about this error, it's a minor error message, not a critical or even serious error. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
