I am still of that opinion. :-) Having the PO files in the applications makes it easier to find internationalization bugs in the applications and gives important context to translators who can read source code. > However, I don't think you can update all the POTs, for example, for > a range of separate directories, without updating everything else. > Having all the POTs in one directory really does help. However, I do appreciate that having a simple way of getting all the current POT files helps new teams a lot. As a consequence, years ago I requested there be a link on the status pages where you could download a tarball with "all current POT files for developer-libs" and a tarball with "all current POT files for desktop". I imagine that would not be a very complicated feature to add. However, concerning new features, the translation status pages have basically been unmaintained for several years now. Perhaps this will become easier when we move to Pootle. I do not know. Perhaps someone experienced working with Pootle can answer that. (And I do not know when Pootle will happen, either) Christian _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
