Hello, A couple months ago I submitted a new .po for the Swedish translation of Inkscape. Since then I've been unable to spend time on Inkscape. I would like to contribute to the source code proper but haven't had the time to do so. Anyway, I recently compiled the latest lp:inkscape version and noticed that there are several issues with translation strings not appearing properly in the GUI.

One example is #: ../src/filter-enums.cpp:52 #, fuzzy msgctxt "Filter blend mode" msgid "Multiply" msgstr "Multiplicera"

I have not worked with gettext before, but examining the filter-enums.cpp source reveals no reason why this string should not be correctly translated:

51 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_NORMAL, C_("Filter blend mode", "Normal"), "normal"}, 52 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_MULTIPLY, C_("Filter blend mode", "Multiply"), "multiply"}, 53 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_SCREEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Screen"), "screen"}, 54 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_DARKEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Darken"), "darken"}, 55 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_LIGHTEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Lighten"), "lighten"}

Note that "Screen" is correctly translated!

So, anyone know why the original English string is displayed in the GUI? If this could be explained to me, perhaps I could fix other occurrences of missing translations which I've noticed. I'm assuming the same issue exists for other translations as well. I did do "btool clean" before I compiled this version, so this should rule out the possibility that I'm using some old version of the compiled translation, unless perhaps my main Inkscape installation is interfering?

Another issue is that I could not find myself in the list of translators in the "About Inkscape" dialog. I would like to be listed there as I did spend a fair amount of time slugging through the Swedish translation.

Best regards, Jesper
