Subject: Question about the translation of double_to_human

I started the translation of coreutils 8.20-pre2 which just arrived
via the Translation Project.  I got a bit uncertain about messages
like:

    msgid ""
    "simple_strtod_human:\n"
    "  input string: '%s'\n"
    "  locale decimal-point: '%s'\n"

and

    msgid "double_to_human:\n"

Is "simple_strtod_human" a name, or is it a string to be translated?

The announcement via the mailing list includede a reference to

    http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-8.19.166-3131c.tar.xz

but unfortunately, it does not seem to match perfectly.  In
particular, these strings are not included.  Nor is the file they were
supposed to come from, src/numfmt.c.

These are function names and not to be translated.
These are "developer debug" strings, which I'm tempted to remove entirely.
What do you think Assaf?

The correct source for the latest translation is:
http://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-8.20.113-1f1f4.tar.xz

That was included as part of:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-02/msg00020.html
which was also sent to coordinator <at> translationproject.org

thanks,
Pádraig.
