I'm somewhat surprised that no GNOME translator has replied till now so I think I might change the fact. (Maybe there were some off-list replies eventually?) Looking at the Virtaal feature list, it seems pretty impressive (especially the supported format list, and that automatic functionality). I didn't test it enough to give some meaningful comprehensive rating though. What I want to say is that in my opinion the open-source l10n world right now is in need of a fully featured catalog editor that'd be able to supersede now totally outdated KBabel for KDE3. Nota bene we already have a simple or minimalist multiplatform catalog editor available, i.e. Poedit. And Virtaal, in the current feature state, seems to be competing rather with Poedit than KBabel (though there are some exceptional features in Virtaal that I probably wouldn't call "minimalist"). What I should throw in here is that KDE's Lokalize unfortunately lacks many important features of KBabel and its development seems to be heading towards slightly different direction than the original KBabel project. So do you have or do you know of any plans regarding a "heavy-weight" catalog solution I've mentioned? That'd be really, really nice. :-) Regards, Petr Kovar _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
