Hi Pascal,
Thanks for the swift reply!

Yes, already figured as much :)
I'm aiming for 2.8, which should leave me some time to also let a few
people test-drive and review the translation.

Mostly one-or-two-word strings that need different case endings in
different places, e.g. "filename" as a label in metadata view vs. as sort
condition. A few are verb/noun lookalikes like "group" or "copy". And then
there's words like "compression" or "orientation" or "exposure" that have
several (closely related) meanings in English, but not a single, catch-all
translation into Estonian.
Some of these could be avoided with some inventiveness (with the price that
the result will look a bit funny), but others can't.
These were just a few typical examples - I hope to send the patches for
review later this month, then you'd see them all :)

I should've been more specific on this one: the string I'd mostly need to
split is the 'default' OpenCL scheduling profile from the 'default' button
to reset all shortcuts, but I can't find where this OpenCL profile gets
pulled in from - could you maybe send me looking in the right direction
once more? It doesn't seem to be in tools/generate_prefs.xsl directly?
Sorry if this is a noob-question - I have experience with translating, but
not much with poking around in source code :(
Thanks again for your reply,
Mihkel
