Bug Description

Take this example :
https://translations.launchpad.net/myrtille/trunk/+pots/myrtille/pt/54/+translate

I found some more strings like this including :

gtk-close
gtk-open
gtk-new
gtk-ok
gtk-save
gtk-quit
etc.

Isn't this supposed not to appear as not translatable ?

If yes
-> this should be not translated or copy over to the translation ?

if not (if it's translatable)
-> how to translate this ?

Thanks in advance

Ah, the good ol' Glade bug #352446[1].

Short answer is no, these should not appear as translatable at all. Bugs should be filed against the software, which has these strings marked as translatable. Lines like this[2]:

                            <property name="label" translatable="yes">gtk-new</property>

should be changed to:
                            <property name="label">gtk-new</property>

Also, developers should be encouraged to upgrade at least to Ubuntu Karmic, which is no longer affected by the mentioned bug :).

Thanks for your reply

The search I did wasn't even close to "Translated stock ids".
It should not be translated .

In Portuguese :

No caso das seguintes expressões aparecerem, NÃO SÃO PARA TRADUZIR :
On NE doit PAS traduire les suivants expressions :

gtk-about
gtk-apply
gtk-cancel
gtk-close
gtk-new
gtk-ok
gtk-open
gtk-quit
gtk-save
gtk-save-as
