Hi Michel, Thank you for flagging this up. It seems to have been caused by the xgettext tool not correctly extracting the complete strings, and therefore when updating the old messages were marked as obsolete. I managed to localize the problem to any windows python files, that uses tabs for indentation. I have emailed the bug-gettext mailing list reporting this issue. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2012-01/msg00000.html @Jamie, only 3 messages are effected, and they are correctly extracted if the complete message is tripple quoted. Do you want me to tripple quote and commit? Also can't remember why we are using tabs instead of the recommended 4 spaces. Thanks.
