Re: [Gramps-devel] GRAMPS 3.0.4?

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

Frederik,

can you look at the first problem Luigi mentions: Grampsdisplay help? You
have expertise in that regard

Stephane,

About the rest, It is not good to do string changes so close before a
release. Let's do them after 3.0.4 and some less problematic only in trunk,
like that all translators have time to catch up before 3.0.5.

To fix the .desktop would be great however, Luigi can you commit and notify
Stephane when finished?

About the % in translation text, are there no default solutions to that,
like escaping it or so (\%) ? Obviously it can cause a lot of problems with
translators not knowing the tranlation may not be of the form %d, ...
(I now understand why python 3.1 will deprecate % for string identifiers)
