So, i18n team? Comments?
i18n approval 2/2. Go ahead, Jonathan.

Hello,
I am an Empathy developer who has been working on the accounts
management dialog lately. I have been fixing some bugs related to the
new design of this dialog. However, in order to improve the user
experience, some messages had to be added. Unfortunately, I have not
been able to complete my modifications before the string freeze and I
have to request a string freeze break. Here are the new messages added:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593054
In the patch intended to address that bug, a string representing the
default display name is created. The format of that string can vary
depending on the protocol. Without this patch, the user could be
confused if he has multiple IRC account or multiple accounts where there
is no notion of "username". By default, the display name would be the
"username" but in the two cases I just mentioned, all account would have
the same display name. Here are code snippets where strings have been
added:
[...]
/* To translators: The first parameter is the login id and the
* second one is the server. The resulting string will be something
* like: "MyUserName on chat.freenode.net".
* You should reverse the order of these arguments if the
* server should come before the login id in your locale.*/
default_display_name =
g_strdup_printf (_("%1$s on %2$s"), login_id, server);
[...]
/* To translators: The parameter is the protocol name. The resulting
* string will be something like: "Jabber Account" */
default_display_name = g_strdup_printf (_("%s Account"), protocol);
[...]
default_display_name = g_strdup (_("New account"));
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592997
To address that bug report, some messages have been added to inform the
user that the modifications he has made to an account are about to be
lost. He can then choose to proceed or not. There is not really another
viable alternative that can be used to inform the user of the situation.
Showing him those messages is pretty much the only option. Here are code
snippets where strings have been added:
[...]
message = g_strdup_printf (
_("There are unsaved modification regarding your %s account.\n"
"You are about to create a new account, which will discard\n"
"your changes. Are you sure you want to proceed?"),
empathy_account_get_display_name (account));
[...]
message = g_strdup_printf (
_("There are unsaved modification regarding your %s account.\n"
"You are about to select another account, which will discard\n"
"your changes. Are you sure you want to proceed?"),
empathy_account_get_display_name (account));
[...]
message = g_strdup_printf (
_("There are unsaved modifications regarding your %s account.\n"
"Are you sure you want to close the window? "),
empathy_account_get_display_name (account));
Please note that the actual content of those three messages might change
a bit. The branch containing them has not yet been reviewed. The final
version of those strings could be merged tomorrow at the latest.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this string freeze break can
generate.
