first (little) bug discovered

[XDatap1]

Hi guy.

In libmrproject, in file mrproject/mrp-time.c i found:

Static const gchar *month_names[] = {
N_("January"),
N_("February"),
N_("March"),
N_("April"),
N_("May"), <------here, line 55
N_("June"),
N_("July"),
N_("August"),
N_("September"),
N_("October"),
N_("November"),
N_("December")
};

and

/* i18n: abbreviated month names. */
N_("Jan"),
N_("Feb"),
N_("Mar"),
N_("Apr"),
N_("May"), <------here, line 39
N_("Jun"),
N_("Jul"),
N_("Aug"),
N_("Sep"),
N_("Oct"),
N_("Nov"),
N_("Dec")
};

then in po file become:

#: mrproject/mrp-time.c:39 mrproject/mrp-time.c:55
msgid "May"
msgstr ""

The abbreviated name and the complete name of "May" are equals in English, but
not for all other languages.

I think this code should be:

N_("?long:May"),

for line 55

N_("?short:May"),

for line 39

Bye

not for all other languages.

Including these month names in the po files is just broken altogether,
since these values are already translated in the locale definition, so
there should be no need to require each and every translator to
translate it again.
There's already an old bug report about that at
http://bugzilla.codefactory.se/show_bug.cgi?id=289.

Set this bug to be for 0.10 so that we'll remember to take a look at it
(provided we have the time for it which I hope ...)
