Shotwell string disambiguation and Date intervals

[Jens Georg <mail jensge org>]

Hello,

I have a three of i18n related questions regarding some tickets I have 
inherited in Shotwell

a) Disambiguation

There are  three tickets (744255[1], 744254[2], 744251[3]) in Shotwell 
asking for disambiguation of strings.
Since I've never dealt with that, can someone please check if the 
proposed patch in 744255 would be "correct" or if there's more that I 
would need to do?

b) Date intervals

Then there is ticket 750902[4] - I agree on the splitted string things 
and would like to remove it - can someone provide me examples for why 
this breaks, because I assume the split was done for a reason.

c) xgettext desktop file integration

I'm also trying to properly mark the .desktop files [5] translatable, 
but I struggle to properly get the file parsed by xgettext, it seems to 
fail on the Kewords line with "Unexpected multibyte character" - which 
disappears if I limit the line to ~100 characters. Gettext version is 
0.19.7 from Ubuntu.

Thanks, Jens.
