Re: String additions to 'nautilus.gnome-3-16'

[Carlos Soriano Sanchez <csoriano redhat com>]

Hi,

Sorry for that, I though it was an old translation, but it's true we changed how we displayed
those items in 3.16.

Should I revert and then ask for string exception? Or just ask for string exception now?

| This particular string (every character matters!) was never used in
| Nautilus (I've checked every version since 3.0). As you can see, it
| caused a regression in translation coverage for every language:
| 
| https://l10n.gnome.org/module/nautilus/#gnome-3-16
| 
| To make it worse, this string is very visible to the user.
| 
| If you can restore the translations, then everything would be fine.
| I'm skeptical, though - you'd need to take care of proper mnemonics,
| capitalization etc, all of which vary greatly among languages.
| 
| Please also note that string change fixing a regression has a very
| high chance of getting a quick approval. Especially if you promise to
| make a new release (let's say) a week from now, so translators have
| time to update their translations and can count on getting it in the
| next release.
