wrong translations of string "Rule" in gtkhtml

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

One thing I've seen while taking a quick look at translation files of
other languages:

#: ../components/editor/gtkhtml-editor.glade:44
msgid "Rule Properties"
#: ../components/editor/gtkhtml-editor-actions.c:1774
msgid "Insert Rule"
#: ../components/html-editor/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml.in.h:135
#: ../components/html-editor/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml.in.h:135
#: ../components/html-editor/html-editor-control.xml.h:30
msgid "_Rule..."
#: ../components/html-editor/popup.c:475
msgid "Rule Style..."

There seem to be quite a few languages translating this wrong, e.g.
Norwegian and Spanish? (No, I don't speak every language in the world,
hence I didn't check all of them and I may be wrong ;-).
"Rule" refers to a line, like <hr> in HTML (horizontal rule).
This is NOT a rule in the sense of obeying, following, or filtering messages.

Please check your gtkhtml translations, as this is quite visible in the
main menu of the mail composer.
I've filed http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551554 .


Again, I don't understand why there hasn't been already a bug report
about this.
More than 20 teams HAVE translated those files already, and nobody
wondered about it or spend a second to think about the potential two
translations of "rule"?
Other example: The string "Use" in another application - verb or noun?
Why don't you file bugs?
There must be a bell automatically ringing when you see such strings
that you try to translate. Why isn't this happening? Aren't you
interested in a good and correct localization of GNOME in your language?
I'm really kind of frustrated about the small number of L10N reports in
Bugzilla.

File bugs with L10N/I18N keyword, and add a link for the developer how
to fix, e.g. to a sub-chapter of
http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/ .
