[Gaim-i18n] Re: translation of imported GTK+ files

[Bjoern V. <bj...@cs...>]

Hello!

I agree with Danilo that we do not need the "property description" i18n=20
strings in the imported GTK+ files.

My attached patch changes the _() markers to P_() markers in=20
gtkcellview.c and gtkcombobox.c. The file already had P_() markers. The=20
files gtkcelllayout.c and gtkcellviewmenuitem.c do not have i18n strings.=


Could someone commit the patch?

The patch disables 33 unnecessary i18n strings.

Greetings, Bj=C3=B6rn
