in notifyd there is string "notify-send \"Notification Preview\" \"This is how notifications will look like\"" which is not string, but command. ok i took that string and translated translated "notify-send", translated quotes(in Lithuanian is different quotes: „“) and in result when i launch xfce4-notifyd-config i get an error, because "notify-send" is command(or something simillar) and it should remain not translated, quotes too should remain not translated... mys suggestion in .pot file comment write "you don't need translate notify-send and quotes" either change code that .pot file would contain only strings "Notification Preview" and "This is how notifications will look like"
