See the mailmessage below from the translator list.

const EnumDataNR::FilterPrimitiveType FPData[NR::NR_FILTER_ENDPRIMITIVETYPE] = { {NR::NR_FILTER_BLEND, _("Blend"), "svg:feBlend"}, ... };

Does this kind of C++ initialization work for translations? Perhaps the locale has not been set correctly when the _("Blend") is called at the start of the program?

Probably we should switch to the N_() thing and do the real translation every time when the data is needed.

Hi,

As of revision 15936 I'm experiencing a quite weird thing: part of translated messages doesn't show up as translated.

On this screenshot you see bottom part of Fill and Stroke dialog.

"_Blend mode" (Режим) and "B_lur" (Размывание) show up as translated (coming from src/ui/widget/filter-effect-chooser.cpp), but names of blend modes (src/filter-enums.cpp) like "Screen" --- don't.

Same thing with names of live path effects. They reside in src/live_effects/effects.cpp and being translated still don't show up as such.

Any idea why? Am I doing something silly?

Alexandre
