[gaim-migrate @ 13136] " I was playing with some new versions of gettext and friends at debconf, and found some horrific bugs in the .po files. Here's the general summary of the problems and their fixes: * no.po should be called nb.po - renamed * a Makevars is required for gettext 0.14.4 - added * am.po was missing a plural form - added * da.po had some mismatched C format types - marked as fuzzy * ka.po had "nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;" instead of the actual plural form - turns out nplural is 1, so deleted the duplicate identical 2nd strings * mk.po had the same problem, added the plural form but nplural is 3 and the translations in the file only have 2 entries, so I marked them as fuzzy * pl.po - fixed mismatched C format type * ru.po - basically the same as mk.po. had a crap plural form. added it and marked the wrongly-numbered plurals as fuzzy * sq.po - added plural form, but file looks correct otherwise (nplurals=2) * tr.po - tweaks to the header, and nplurals=1 so set this and deleted pointless duplicate second forms You need to move no.po to nb.po - it would be silly to include that in the patch obviously. Please apply to HEAD ASAP before it stops applying (obviously if anyone changes the po files the patch will break very easily) but also please leave this item open until me or someone else has looked for and corrected the same issues in oldstable. Regards, Rob" I've been ignoring translations in HEAD as its really rather pointless for now. I plan to continue doing so. but as I was less than clear talking to robot101, i didn't think it was fair to penalize him. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs

 @section Introduction
  Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin
  loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here
  on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and
  makes duplicate IDs unlikely.


 @section Format
  The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows:

  <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt>

  The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one
  of the following:

    - core      - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using
                  libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code.
    - prpl      - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to
                  connect to.
    - lopl      - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl
                  or TCL).
    - gtk       - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any
                  window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32).
    - gtk-x11   - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code.
    - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code.
    - qpe       - Gaim for Qtopia plugin.

  The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It
  @em should be your Gaim website user ID
  (registered <a href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/register.php">here</a>).
  If for some reason you cannot register there (it shouldn't be a
  problem!), you can use your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field
  blank.

  The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like,
  though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you
  want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID.
  The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this.


 @section plugin-db Plugin Database
  Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database
  on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins.
  Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it
  must be unique.
