[i18n] strings of standard gtk buttons should not be translatable

[glandux]

Strings of standard GTK buttons (ok, cancel, about) should not be translatable because they benefit from language pack localisation. So there is no need to mark the text of these buttons as translatable.

For example in ./data/ntfs-config.glade:

<widget class="GtkButton" id="cancelbutton">
                <property name="visible">True</property>
                <property name="label" translatable="yes">gtk-cancel</property>
                <property name="use_stock">True</property>
              </widget>

This cancel button is marked translatable with translatable="yes". It is the same thing for ok and about buttons, but they are stock buttons so I think there is no need to made them translatable.

In addition, it can confuse translator and then broke the translation, like we can see in rosetta for ntfs-config french translation:
English: gtk-cancel
Current French: gtk-annuler

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

Daniel, you could have checked data/ntfs-config.glade, it's unchanged and still shows the bug.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ntfs-config - 0.5.5-0ubuntu3

---------------
ntfs-config (0.5.5-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * po/fr.po: fix translation of Gtk+ labels such as gtk-cancel to be the same
    value as the string.
  * data/ntfs-config.glade: don't mark gtk-cancel etc. labels as translatable;
    LP: #105639.
