Hi all,

I was asked on IRC how to translate "deferred" in these new strings:

converterDialog.warningForDeferredAccount=%1$S is deferred to %2$S. Accounts deferred to %3$S: %4$S. The messages in the accounts %5$S will now be converted to the %6$S format. %7$S will restart after the conversion is complete.

converterDialog.warningForDeferredToAccount=Accounts deferred to %1$S: %2$S. The messages in the accounts %3$S will now be converted to the %4$S format. %5$S will restart after the conversion is complete.

"defer" here does NOT mean "postpone". The is about accounts where incoming messages go to the inbox of another account, see "Tools > Account Settings, Server Settings, Advanced button".

You should translate with something like "delegated".

Kind regards, Jörg (member of the Thunderbird team).

Note that this option is only available for POP3-accounts (under Server
Settings > Message Storage > Advanced).
