[Synaptic-devel] Other Gettext issues in the General tab

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear friends,

Synaptics displays "Size: 3145k". It seems that the po only has the string 
"Size:".

As a result, Synatics may be incompatible with RTL languages like Arabic. Even 
in Asian languages, this may be a problem as ":" is rarely used. If you stick 
something after ":", this may be a problem.

Now, in French:
"Size: 3145k" should be coded as:
"Size: %d k" Which is tranlated into French by
"Size: 4135 Ko" (notice 'k' becomes Ko).

Apparently, only the entries in the General tab are impacted:

Status:
-> Status: %s

Section:
-> Section: %s

Size:
-> Size: %d

etc...

Cheers, Jean-Michel
