Description Funda Wang 2003-05-23 07:51:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

Every KDE application uses common About Program dialog. There is a tab named Translation inside the dialog, which shows detail of the translators .

Translators can enter their names and emails in PO as follwing:

   #: _translatorinfo.cpp:1
   msgid ""
   "_: NAME OF TRANSLATORS\n"
   "Your names"
   msgstr "Kate, Jackie"

   #: _translatorinfo.cpp:3
   msgid ""
   "_: EMAIL OF TRANSLATORS\n"
   "Your emails"
   msgstr "kate@domain.com, jackie@domain.com"

Current solution is KAbout just split the names and emails by comma, but not remove leading/ending spaces of correspoding items. That is, I'll get " Jakie" and
" jackie@domain.com" as the second translator(with leading space).

Furthermore, if it is possible, KAbout may allow translators write web address within the second msgstr, and do correspoding actions. That is,

   #: _translatorinfo.cpp:3
   msgid ""
   "_: EMAIL OF TRANSLATORS\n"
   "Your emails"
   msgstr "kate@domain.com, http://jackie.domain.com"

CVS commit by goutte: 

Be tolerant with leading and trailing white spaces for translators'
names and email addresses
CCBUG:58830
(Not sure how to allow web addresses instead of email ones, so I cannot
close the bug.)
