I think I found the problem.
In Dapper, this string is in the gksu_1.3.7-0ubuntu9.diff:
2250 ++ if (sudo_mode)
2251 ++ sn_launcher_context_set_description (context->sn_context,
2252 ++ _("Starting Administrative Application"));

In Edgy, the patch has move to libgksu_1.9.8-1ubuntu4.diff:
11 ++ if (context->sudo_mode)
12 ++ {
13 ++ sn_launcher_context_set_description (context->sn_context,
14 ++ ("Starting Administrative Application"));

You can notice the missing "_" before the string in the Edgy patch, that is why the string doesn't appear in the libgksu translation template in Rosetta.

It's still not in the Feisty patch. Michael ?

This bug seems to be very trivial to solve. Maybe it is already? Please, Michael, could you have a look on this?

I've done the change for libgksu 1.9.8-1ubuntu4 source package and i've installed the binary libgksu2-0 obtained and still having the same problem.

I'm working with edgy.

Of course, after correcting the source, you need to generate a new pot file and translate the corresponding string in the updated language.po file.

Exactly, i realized that i did a mistake with the msgid string.

I've tested it and it's working. So it's only needed to add the "_" and translate the string.

Apparently, this has been fixed in Feisty. Thanks.
