Hi Austin,
You should probably patch all of the po files as well. It's a simple change, and it means Alexandre doesn't have to regenerate everything.

I'm not sure about that. I don't know any other languages than English, and some are in different scripts that I can't recognize which letter I'm supposed to change.
If that's why AJ wants I can do it, but I think that updating PO files should be the job of the translators, not developers.
Alexandre, care to comment?

I meant that you should update the relevant msgid in each of the po files, e.g. msgid "%1!d! file(s) copied\n".
Alexandre may have a different view, though.

I'm not convinced that we want to change this. It's localized, so no reasonable app is going to depend on it.
Of course anybody can write a script checking for the exact message on their version of Windows, but we can't be compatible with that unless we copy all Windows messages verbatim, which we don't want to do.

Sure, but we all know not all apps are reasonable.

Sure, I'm not proposing that we copy every string verbatim, only the minimal necessary to fix the reported bug. As it stands, there's a bug in bugzilla and the only way to fix it is to change that string. If that's not permissible, then please close the bug WONTFIX.

Of course. If there's a real app that depends on it, then it should be fixed. But if it's just someone's personal script, I don't think it qualifies.

Okay, I'll close it WONTFIX then, thanks.
