Comment:
You are doing this (also with some other #ifdef blocks, this one is an
example) :
{{{
235 242 #ifdef HAIKU_DISTRO_COMPATIBILITY_OFFICIAL
236 "About Haiku"
243 TR("About Haiku" B_UTF8_ELLIPSIS)
237 244 #else
238 "About this system"
245 TR("About this system" B_UTF8_ELLIPSIS)
239 246 #endif
}}}
Basically this will not work as expected : one of the strings will not be
in the .catkeys file. I see two solutions :
* Have both strings in the catkey file and let one never be used on a
given Haiku install. This can be done by TR_MARKing the strings outside of
the #if block
* Have only one string translated, and swap the catalogs at runtime. This
is cleaner in terms of distribution, but complexifies the handling of
catkeys files (not en.catkeys, but all the others)
I'll ask the other devs what they think about it and look at the TODOs.
Not applying the patch until a proper solution is found for this problem.
