Comment 0 for bug 116

There's a special message string 'translator-credits', which should not be translated, but instead contain the name(s) of the translator(s) of the current translation, separated by newline characters. E-mail addresses in <email address hidden> after the name are optional.

This special string is used by GtkAboutDialog and GnomeAboutDialog (not sure whether it's also used in the KDE world) to display the translation credits in the about dialog.

However, many translators don't know about this special string and just translate it into their language, which means that developers importing translations have to edit it manually, which is, erm, suboptimal.

Rosetta should handle this string automatically, and put the names of the contributors in there.
