Please make the opportunity to translate the names of the container "default".
Quote

Often discussed. NO. It would break stuff if you switch language pack and had the container name translated.

If it's possible extend all the text areas in settings, sometimes translation doesn't fit it, why did you fit some strings to original?

If you give examples, maybe (depends if the size and layout of the dialog allows it).

So to translate the name of the container need only outside(visual), inside store as usual in the "default". Or at least give the opportunity to rename the container.

But I already gave examples! You need screenshots?
And why you've edited my post, instead of creating new? There were examples.

Yes, that's done in the last commit. The container name will be translated ONLY for display, so instead of "default" in the title bar you will now see the translated string for "default". The internal name, however, cannot be translated, this would break container assignments.

Did I. Sorry, that was not intentionally, I wanted to quote it, not edit and probably hit the wrong button.

String errors:

I'll tell you exactly this:
In filter's menu extend text titles "Tray" and "Popups".
In container settings in "Tabs and switch bar" item, extend strings "Close button" and "Styled tab".
In settings TabSRMM -> Advanced tweaks: extend "Message send timeout"

I will look into this, but I think that in the container options dialog, there is no space left. The others maybe...

Yes, I'am, because this is NOT the container options dialog I was talking about.

Sorry, I read it wrong.  A container also has a space.

Untranslated string:

For the last one:

Try
Code: [Select]
[is now %s (was %s)]
ist nun %s (war %s)
(the %s are placeholder for the corresponding status modes)

The first one seems to be indeed untranslateable, but since it is just a placeholder text, its content is completly irrelevant anyway, it does not contain any important information that would be important enough to be translated

Won't be translated, because it's a common standard phrase :) Nobody NEEDS to understand that text, because it's only there to show the layout. The text itself doesn't make much sense anyway :)

Hm, both _should_ be translatable, if they are not, then it is a bug and should be fixed.

[is now %s (was %s)] is perpectly translateable, no bug there.. (the %s is translated as well)

And the "first one" (the "The quick brown fox ..") is not , but I agree with you that it does not need to (but it would be nice to have ;) )

onother translation thing: could you make the dropdown below the "ESC key behaviour" option full-width?

Nightwish, 
I, for example, like the fullest translate. Is it so difficult to do translatable?

No just useless and writing useless code is a bad idea. Don't do it.

Another unclear things on the toolbar configuration options:

Can you change the following texts:

[Show this button in regular window] into [Show this button in single-chat windows]
[Show this button in chat window] into [Show this button in group-chat windows]

The difference between "regular window" and "chat window" is not exactly obvious :)

Another thing, not translation-related:

There is a typo in the typing notify options page:
"Send typing notifications to the following users when you are typing a message to the them:"

The problem is about translating + spelling errors in some strings

No problem at all. Change the translation to make it fit, sorry, no other solution. The space below that option is already reserved for other things, so basically, the page is full and the autohide option MUST fit into one line.

IDC_NOAUTOCLOSE can be removed as it doesn't serve any purpose any longer.

Okay, I already did it as above, but it looks not good :( Anyway, not such a big issue

Okay then.. the problematic part is the "Always trim message log to" string, that needs more space

Nightwish, I need more space for the "Always trim message log to" option:

Could you make it like that?

All dialogs except the main options dialog will be reworked for more translation space anyway. For the container options dialog, this is complete, the others will follow.
