Re: String freeze break requested for Orca for GNOME 2.17.92

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

OK, after some arm twisting, I've been convinced to unretract this 
request.  So, I'm re-requesting it with the following amendment: we will 
fix the ngettext issue with the " % items" string for nautilus.py.

The nautilus.py fix is the result of a user request, and is discussed 
laboriously here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350674. 
We'd really like to get this fix in for GNOME 2.18 as it addresses a 
usability issue.

The Gecko.py fix is just due to stupidity on my part for not marking the 
strings as translatable to begin with.

Are these things we can get in for GNOME 2.18?
