Translating names of special mailboxes
When mailbox is marked as one of the special mailboxes, its name is changed to the standard form ("Inbox", etc.), but it is not marked as translatable (in config_mailbox_set_as_special
). That seems like an oversight, as those strings are marked elsewhere (in check_special_mailboxes
), so the translations are available.
Or am I missing something? I don't recall seeing any complaints about the names not being translated--can someone confirm that they really aren't?
This comes up in the new gtk4
branch, where the goal is to get a version that builds with gtk4 (still at a 3.99 version, but possibly API-stable). The GtkFileChooser
no longer allows an arbitrary widget to be added, and in particular there's no way to include a GtkEntry
for editing the displayed name of a special mailbox. If we want to keep that capability, it will have to be a separate action in the context menu. But about the only use for it that occurs to me would be to translate it, so perhaps if the name was translated by default the need would go away.
