opcodes po file problem (Modified by Clytie Siddall)

[Clytie Siddall]

Hi :)

I've been discussing this problem with Ian Lance Taylor, and he has 
asked me to pass it on to you. Evidently a string is marked c-format 
when it shouldn't be (this stops it passing the checks to be submitted 
as a valid translation), and I can't fix that: any changes in the 
original file have to be made before the .po file is generated, 
otherwise the altered original data will cause problems when the 
translation is reintegrated with the program being translated.

I don't know if you or Ian need to make the change, but now you both 
know about it. :)  If you can edit the file and release the update to 
the Translation Project at the University of Montréal, then I can 
finish and submit the translation.

Thankyou. :)

from Clytie

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to edit that data, or the msgid string, 
since that will cause problems when you reintegrate the translated file 
with the application. Do I need to send this request to the binultils 
address, or can you amend the file and send in the update? Otherwise I 
can't submit the translation, which would be a waste.
