Interface spacing in PO file (this is not a function of a translation file: it should be set by the software)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SQ-681
                 URL: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-681
             Project: squeakland
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: etoys
            Reporter: Clytie Siddall
             Fix For: etoys 5 and showcase


The etoys PO file on Pootle uses manual text spacing to position some strings in the interface. This is not correct practice, and is particularly susceptible to input error. Please place only the characters and spaces in a translation string which are essential to the meaning of the string, not to its position or appearance.

Example strings in the current file:

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow
msgid "  Auto  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow,Mines>>makeControls
msgid "  Help  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow
msgid "  New  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow
msgid "  Play  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow,Mines>>makeControls
msgid "  Quit  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow
msgid "  Redo  "
msgstr ""

#: Morphic-Games-Chess,ChessMorph>>addButtonRow
msgid "  Undo  "
msgstr ""
