I don't remember whether those specific translations were done by my predecessor or myself, but that doesn't matter. What I would like to ask you, though, is to check if there are more occurrences of this pattern "no such thing/object/whatever" in the po file. I would like to have a recurring pattern in English also translated with the same pattern in German. Or perhaps you have already checked that? Then the part with msgid "'%s': no such list" -msgstr "'%s': keine solche Matrix" +msgstr "'%s': Matrix nicht vorhanden" looks suspicious, maybe a wrong translation in place? Or perhaps was that a translation marked as "fuzzy" which was just autogenerated and not really used so far?

BTW, the original English string "H0: all groups have unit root" also doesn't sound super nice to my foreign-speaker ear, but I leave it to the natives to judge that... thanks, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-devel mailing list Gretl-devel(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel

Yes it's just wrong, I don't think this string is already human-translated. But I have to check, I hope to find the time for that next week.
