Daichi, that's your division, what should be done about this?
Comment 2 Daichi Kawahata 2005-09-13 12:15:46 CEST
Like I said once, with intltool, same strings will be merged into one
'msgid ""' in PO file, this validation checker warns about that. Because
this unified 'msgid ""' doesn't allow different translations against
them and it can be problem for certain translators (personally I'd like
to have different translation, because Name and Comment aren't same thing.)

The best appreciated solution must be giving another strings against
them e.g.

  * Original

  [Desktop Entry]
  _Name=Xfce 4 Settings Manager
  _Comment=Xfce 4 Settings Manager
  _GenericName=Settings Manager

  * Modified

  [Desktop Entry]
  _Name=Xfce 4 Settings Manager
  _Comment=Settings in Xfce have been done via this graphical manager 
  _GenericName=Settings Manager

but if the creator of those desktop.in files really don't want to change
those strings for certain reason (your strong faith, religion), there's
a workaround putting trailer white-space after either of strings e.g.

  [Desktop Entry]
  _Name=Xfce 4 Settings Manager
  _Comment=Xfce 4 Settings Manager[ ] <- trailer white-space
  _GenericName=Settings Manager

In this time, I'll attach all such errors in core repository.
