This is most probably due to CVS errors and will reappear on the next update(s). It is not obsolete, don't worry ;-) On a more general note, some people have expressed concerns that localising the functions send experienced Gnumeric users back in the Stone Age, e.g. they have to learn everything from the beginning. Following users' pressure the OOo team has dropped the translated functions. I am unwilling to do this for Gnumeric, but is there any way to allow the user to choose on_the_fly? I've been pointed by a programmer that it is (maybe) possible to include some (pre)logic in the code, so that gettext to be called for a particular function only if a user option "foo" is selected. I have a bad feeling that this, if at all possible, is terribly complicated. What feedback the other teams have received regarding this issue? In Bulgaria usually such discussions result in flames... /* I haven't translated gnumeric-functions yet, so this is a bit pointless :-) */ -- Yavor Doganov JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Free Software Association - Bulgaria http://fsa-bg.org GNOME in Bulgarian! http://gnome.cult.bg _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
