Re: [Gimp-developer] what means %s& (translation related)

[Emil Brink <emil obsession se>]

Hi!

By doing a quick Google, it looks like the %s here is replaced by:

- "(H+V) " when doing a horizontal and vertical flip,
- "(H) " when doing horizontal-only, and
- "(V) " when doing vertical-only.

Note the trailing spaces in all of the above, which make sure the "&" in
the format string is not right next to the ")".

These three strings are also marked for translation a few lines earlier in
the same file, so you should be seeing them, too.

Regards,

/Emil
