As I mentioned in another message that crossed yours, I have a different point-of-view on "translating" en-GB. I personally see it as an excellent opportunity to proofread the en_US original and the en_GB completion is an easy indicator that the en_US strings have been proofread by an English speaker besides the developer. Maybe I hold this view because so many Sugar developers are native Spanish speakers, so I find lots of chances to offer improvements. Certainly enough Gnome developers are from European backgrounds with non-English mother tongues to make this a prudent step for Gnome as well. cjl _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
