solenv = solar build env, contains of course a lot of things for the build env but no data lile po files > > I do not like languages as extras, that is the wrong signal to send, > languages are an integrated part of aoo and not an addon. We have > "extensions" and "swext" in main, they should go long before our languages. I don't see and never have seen it this way. The idea of keeping the translation data files separately is simply to reduce the stuff for daily development work I believe. Languages are of course no addon and a very important part but we used en-SU as our reference language and start normally with it during the development. The translation come in later in the development cycle and requires the collaboration with our translators. And it much faster to build with out lang when do your daily work as developer. If translation issues have to fixed or if translation have to check then of course we build with lang. But for developers it should be configurable to simplify the daily work form my pov. > > Developers should always try their work with languages, actually I have the > opinion that we should always build with languages (or at least compile). I agree i general and lang tests should be part of the normal work but not at every time. If you work on bug fixes you are fine with an en-US version. We don't give en-US really a preference but we have to use one source reference language and that is en-US, not more and not less. For the release all supported supported languages are important and equal. > > Just to be sure, I will not move the lang directory to trunk now...it is > not part of this lazy con. decision. Let us simply find a better place for these files where of course it is easier to find them. I would have never searched under solenv.
