Description
#: src/terminal.c:1152 msgid "No argument given to --display option\n"
#: src/terminal.c:1172 msgid "No argument given to --screen option\n"
The name of the option shouldn't be translated anyway, so if it was replaced with %s these messages could be generalized, accidental translator mistakes could be avoided, and it would save translators some work. My suggestion is to use "No argument given to %s option\n" or perhaps even better "No argument given to "%s" option\n".
#: src/terminal.c:1037 msgid "--startup-id option given twice\n"
#: src/terminal.c:1042 msgid "--startup-id option requires an argument\n"
These messages could probably also benefit from %s instead of option names.
Resolution: RESOLVED FIXED
