[Adium-devl] Issues with translated preferences

[Christopher Harms]

Hi again,
sorry, for double-mailing, but I think this is more a bug than  
something done for purpose.
The problem is, that the [[[AIObject sharedAdiumInstance]  
preferenceController] paneArray]-Array (s.  
AIPreferenceWindowController.m, line 69) contains the panes with  
translated captions (loaded from the translated nib-files of course).  
By calling setPanesOrder: the Controller doesn't know what to do,  
because you are giving him the English names, which he doesn't know  
(from the paneArray he only knows the German-or-whatever names).  
(Hard-coded strings suck. ;-))
I don't have a fix for this by now, because I'm not sure how all the  
stuff works, but as soon as I have something for this, I'm uploading  
a patch to Trac.

Regards,
Christopher
