Re: Translation of words between inverted commas

[Gil Forcada <gilforcada guifi net>]

hi,

in Catalan we translate de schemas like this:

Mida de les icones en les barres d'eines,  ja sigui
«small-toolbar» (barra d'eines petita) o «large-toolbar» (barra d'eines
gran).

we put the string that have to go in the value of the gconf key and
between () the translation

hope it helps

cheers,
