Re: gnome-applets string freeze breakage

[Ryan Lortie <desrt desrt ca>]

Christian,

On the gnome-2-10 stable branch:

---

2005-04-01  Ryan Lortie  <desrt desrt ca>

   * gweather-pref.c: Remove _() around a message introduced in the last
   commit.  This message will never be seen by an end user (except in
   the event of developer error) and was causing problems with the
   i18n project translated message counts on the stable branch.

---

When making the change in the first place, I thought of what effect it
would have on the users and decided that it was definitely better to
have a message than no message at all and definitely better to mark it
as _() than not to mark it at all.

I didn't consider the secondary effects (or even realise their
existence).

My apologies.  Live + learn. :)

Cheers.
