Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Rosetta scripts screw up Amarok translation. For example, LP results of
.ui-files parsing loks like this:

          </property>
        </widget>
       </item>
      </layout>
     </item>
     <item>
      <widget class="QFrame" name="frame_info">
       <property name="frameShape">
        <enum>QFrame::StyledPanel</enum>
       </property>
       <property name="frameShadow">
        <enum>QFrame::Raised</enum>
       </property>
       <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="verticalLayout">
        <item>
         <widget class="QLabel" name="label_Info">
          <property name="text">
           <string>Amarok expects the above database and user account
to already exist. This user also requires full access to the database.
You MUST restart Amarok after changing these settings.

          </property>
          <property name="flat">
           <bool>true</bool>
          </property>
          <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="verticalLayout">
           <item>
            <widget class="QLabel" name="eqPreampValue">
             <property name="sizePolicy">
              <sizepolicy hsizetype="Minimum" vsizetype="Preferred">
               <horstretch>0</horstretch>
               <verstretch>0</verstretch>
              </sizepolicy>
             </property>
             <property name="font">
              <font>
               <pointsize>8</pointsize>
              </font>
             </property>
             <property name="text">
              <string>0

There are no "messages" like this in original Amarok pot file from
upstream. "Translation" of this by LP Translation Teams can lead to
unpredictable results (crashes, freezes, et al.)
