Comment(by walter):

 OK. I understand the problem. Internally, I use names without spaces. In
 generating the labels, I use names with spaces. So the simple solution is
 to use a dictionary.

         <rgs__> walterbender: ping
         <walterbender>  rgs__: I am just looking over your patch re the
 missing labels.
         <walterbender>  rgs__: I have a solution that requires no new
 translations

         <rgs__> walterbender: ok (morning).

         <walterbender>  rgs__: the problem is, for example, internally, I
 use pensize but the label (and POT) only know pen size, with a space.
         <walterbender>  rgs__: I'll use a dictionary to resolve the
 difference
         <walterbender>  rgs__: good morning :)
         <rgs__> walterbender: hmmm.. are you planning on a hack around?
         <rgs__> walterbender: i've thought of that as well. I am just
 worry that in the future we might miss something
         <walterbender>  rgs__: not really a hack... sort of what
 dictionaries are for.
         <rgs__> walterbender: but it is based on a assumption
         <walterbender>  rgs__: the problem is that variable names cannot
 have spaces in them in Python
         <rgs__> walterbender: that you always use a space
         <rgs__> walterbender: well, as long as we dont loose that
 consistency
         <rgs__> walterbender: never mind, i am being paranoid. It will
 work.
         <walterbender>  rgs__: I could add _ to the variable names and
 then .replace with space.
         <rgs__> walterbender: once you are done with it ping me and lets
 talk about text wrapping. I am at a meeting so I have time to look at code
 :)
         <rgs__> walterbender: yeah, we just need a way to map to valid
 keys
         <walterbender>  rgs__: the latter would perhaps be better, but it
 is a much more invasive change
         -->|    ramoonas (n=ramoonas at 81-7-94-73.static.zebra.lt) has
 joined #sugar
         <walterbender>  rgs__: also those names are what are stored in the
 ta files so if we change them. we lose backward compatibility.
         <walterbender>  rgs__: so I think it has to be done with the
 dictionary.
