Personally, I think that those three features on the said page are a must for really rocking editor. So as Gudmund said in his message, I'm looking forward (too). Other than that, what I miss in Poedit or kaider/lokalize is a toolbar and shortcuts allowing one to comfortably move between various types of edited/searched/filtered/whatever messages. As for TM, I think that the current implementation in KBabel is far better than its successor's or Poedit's one (that is reflecting the memory database generation, management of various TM sources, a dedicated window in the program base layout, etc.), with one exception though, and by that I mean automatic searching the TM during translation and the related copying search results to edited message. Here, lokalize seemed to be somewhat better or more powerful during my tryouts. Further, the TM accessed through context menu in the message list as we can see in Poedit didn't convince me at all. What I also like about KBabel but miss in Poedit (and what, in my opinion, would be great to see in a newly developed editor): multiple translation projects support in user configuration, spell check the whole catalog in one step (like in many text editors), undo/redo (not sure about these two features in dev version of Poedit right now), and whitespaces display (very helpful, but not in a buggy way like in old gtranslator, though). So these are my thoughts on editors for now. :-) > About the catalog manager: I'd like to make sure that I understand > exactly what it is you are looking for.

I was talking about catalog editor, not manager, it seems like I wasn't clear enough, sorry if I confused you. Honestly, a catalog manager (let's say a simple one like in Poedit) would be nice too, but I wouldn't call it a must in any case. :-) Regards, Petr Kovar _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
