You can translate "other" to "annat" in the string where it appears
alone, juste like you can translate "Nettherlands", etc.
*However* in the following:
#. Type: select
#. Choices
#. Type: select
#. DefaultChoice
#. Translators:
#. Please choose among
#. "Austria, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain,
Switzerland, other"
#: ../isdnlog.templates:2001 ../isdnlog.templates:2002
msgid "other"
msgstr ""
You must put "other" in "msgstr"...
Thinkink deeper, I think that will bring us to a problem, still:
duplicate msgid's ("other" appears twice)....which gettext doesn't like
To solve this, the second "other" should use the "brackets trick"
documented in po-debconf(7) (with an eample taken from the geneweb package)
That means changing the templates and, unfortunately, re-issue a call
for translations (Third time....some packages have a kind of
malediction)
Sorry for the trouble, these things are fairly hard to explain...:)
