" 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.

/** @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. */ // vim: syntax=c tw=75 et
