Pan uses standard configuration when it comes to i18n (that is, glib-gettext + intltool for strings extraction), however, the same configuration is used for many other GNOME apps and tools, so I suppose that the check would fail for other apps too. Not sure what to do with that, we could probably switch from glib-gettext directly to gettext to see whether that would help, but last time I checked this configuration, it added some complexity (and build failures too :-) Cheers, Petr Kovar _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
