Hi:
I see that the fix for http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135242
introduced a new string, "switch to".
This is partly my fault, as I reviewed this patch and marked it 'commit'
on Tuesday, but I was reading for code suitability and I forgot about
the XML file localization issue. Sorry about that, thanks Christian for
catching it.
It doesn't look as though gnopernicus has been re-dist'ed since the
string change. I see three fixes:
(1) retroactively approve the new string and re-dist as soon as possible;
(2) un-mark the string for localization;
(3) revise the fix to avoid the introduction of a new string.
#1 inconveniences translators but is straightforward. #2 doesn't break
freeze, but will result in an unlocalized spoken message for gnopernicus
users [1]. #3 would avoid the problem altogether, but might result in a
less-optimal user experience.
Which do you want to do?
- Bill
[1] unfortunately we don't have many non-English voices in current use -
this will mostly impact some Spanish gnopernicus users.
