Bug Description

There are some problems with translation of a few highly visible strings in the UI:

#: ../src/ui/widget/selected-style.cpp:161
#: ../src/ui/widget/style-swatch.cpp:296
msgid "<i>None</i>"
msgstr ""

This refers to both "No fill" and "No stroke". These two can be (and are e.g. in Slovak, Czech) different genders therefore cannot be translated equally. Please separate this to 2 strings.

#: ../src/filter-enums.cpp:95
#: ../src/flood-context.cpp:264
#: ../src/ui/dialog/document-properties.cpp:325
#: ../src/ui/dialog/filter-effects-dialog.cpp:468
#: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:255
#: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:418
#: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:550
#: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:1140
#: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:1205
#: ../src/verbs.cpp:2239
#: ../src/widgets/stroke-style.cpp:765
#: ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:3885
#: ../share/extensions/grid_polar.inx.h:16
#: ../share/extensions/guides_creator.inx.h:15
msgid "None"
msgstr ""

Same thing here. This needs to be separated according to which thing it refers to (shape, markers, stroke, ...). It cannot be translated equally and needs msgctxt.

Please add tooltip describing "Affect:"

share/patterns/patterns.svg should be i18n-ed (probably the same way as filters.svg). It contains fill patterns listed in Object - Fill and Stroke - Pattern - Pattern fill.

Added to PO files - yes. Appear transalted in UI - no.

Suggestion:
"Control whether or not to scale stroke widths, scale rectangle corners, transform gradient fills, and transform pattern fills with the object"
(extracted from Inkscape FLOSS manual: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Inkscape/SelectorTool).

This is because they're stored in a variable, they're not a literal. This might help if it works for C++, too:

Thanks for the idea!
Seems to work well for calligraphy presets (Bug #327533).

Oh, wrong bug :) Thanks, I didn't have the time to test it.
