The" looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise it as a valid one. I can still obtain a suitable linux.pot file escaping the backslash, and the resulting linux.mo file works even if the string is again unescaped, but of course if I leave the escaped string it will be displayed as-is (with a double backslash) if i run a configurator in english, so it is not a valid solution for a patch. Maybe a valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that msguniq would not complain?... I don't really know, and I don't even know how to do it. I see there is an escape function right at the top of kxgettext.c, but as I'm not a coder I don't really know how to hack it, so it's up to you... sorry. -- Massimo Maiurana massimoragusa.linux.it http://massimo.solira.org GPG keyID #7044D601 Articolo 33 - [...]Enti e privati hanno il diritto di istituire scuole ed istituti di educazione, senza oneri per lo Stato.[...]
