You may want to stop GNOME's evil attempt of forking the English language and making it use Unicode ellispses first. You, KDE, and Microsoft all use three dots!

Pray do read *GNOME* HIG (that linked page in the bug report). You are applying three-dots even when msgid is using Unicode ellipses. Completely intolerable.
