[Gretl-devel] i18n fix needed in lib/gmm.c

Hi, I've fixed a typo in lib/gmm.c (just committed), but I noticed a possible
problem with translation in the same lines (1116-8):

    pprintf(prn, "  %s\n", _("Orthogonality"));
    pprintf(prn, "   %10s %10s %10s\n\n", _("condition"),
            _("mean"), _("std. dev"));

Printing "Orthogonality" above "condition" is correct in English but not in
other languages (the words should be reversed).

Can we work out a way to fix it?

I thought about this, but I guess it's not correct:

    pprintf(prn, "   %10s %10s %10s\n\n", _("Orthogonality\ncondition"),
            _("mean"), _("std. dev"));

Or maybe just make a single string "Orthogonality condition" (but I guess you
had good reasons not to do that in the beginning)?

Or maybe contract "Orth. condition" (but it's not that beautiful)?
