Python shell translation into Finnish has " causing syntax error.

When starting python shell:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    exec command in self.namespace
  File "<string>", line 1
     print "Pääset käsiksi pääikkunaan "shell"-muuttujan kautta :\n%s" % shell

Should it be fixed on the translation " -> \" or in Rhythmbox code?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Hmm, it seems properly escaped: msgstr "Pääset käsiksi pääikkunaan \"shell\"-muuttujan kautta :"
I guess Python still doesn't like it, then. Normally ' is not used in Finnish, but I changed it now to "Pääset käsiksi pääikkunaan 'shell'-muuttujan kautta :", and will contact the upstream translator too. Using that translation seems to fix the error message.

Will be included in the next language pack updates.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Correction. Will change to msgstr "Pääset käsiksi pääikkunaan \\\"shell\\\"-muuttujan kautta :", as pointed out to me. Also fixed similarly in upstream svn now.
