 Hi there,

 i just stumbled upon an mistranslation in the german language version of
 pidgin. It says: "Kann die Nachricht nicht senden: Dienst nicht
 unerreichbar" when trying to send a message via ICQ. This message
 translated to english would be something like: "Cannot send message:
 Service ''not unaccessible''", which obviously does not make much sense.
 It probably should rather say: "Kann die Nachricht nicht senden: Dienst
 nicht erreichbar", which would not contain the double negation.

 Thanks for your time and for such a great piece of software,
 Felix

 PS: the problem itself is nonrelevant, it probably just is a inconsistency
 of the icq-servers (again...)
