Unfortunately not. I tested the patch. There is still the English "I'dle =

Mak'er" menu item. Since the string "I'dle Mak'er" is already translated =

in some languages English users can test it with these languages (e.g.=20
"env LANG=3Dde_DE.utf8 gaim").

Ok, the space was not good in this string. The problem only occurs if=20
both the history and the timestamp plugins are enabled. Please commit=20
the attached patch for the timestamp plugin. I tested all combinations=20
(no plugin, only timestamp plugin, only history plugin, both timestamp=20
and history plugin). In the case of "only timestamp plugin" there is an=20
extra space but you don't see it. It's interesting to see that the order =

of the timestamp and "Conversation with..." strings depends on the load=20
order of the plugins. You can test this if you load and unload the=20
plugins in the plugin dialog.

By the way: We discussed about time formats some time ago (Subject:=20
Translatable strftime() format strings?). I thought we agreed that it's=20
good to mark the time formats of strftime() with translation markers=20
"_()". Unfortunately we also found some problems with character set=20
conversations. After restarting Gaim there is a good order: 1) timestamp =

from the timestamp plugin, 2) "Conversation with..." from the history=20
plugin.

Why there are so much strftime() time format strings still not marked=20
with translation markers? Look at plugins/timestamp.c or=20
plugins/timestamp_format.c for instance. I think we are not consequent=20
here. But I'm also unsure, if we have enough time to test changes in=20
timestamp formats until 2.0.0 release.

I agree.
