I am not sure that this is the correct fix.  The macro(!) `N_(msgid)` is 
supposed to be expanded to just `msgid`.  The idea is to only mark a string 
constant as translatable without actually translating anything.  So this is the 
expected behaviour of `N_()`.

That means that probably `N_(”noun|Move”)` should be replaced with `NC_(”noun”, 
”Move”)` instead, see 
https://developer-old.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-I18N.html#NC-:CAPS.

But that will require more changes to the code because you have to make sure 
that the translation to the argument of `NC_()` is retrieved with `C_()` and 
not just `_()`.

I will try to have a deeper look into the source code myself later.  But I will 
probably need some time to set up CVS, haven’t done that for ages. :)

Cheers,
Guido
