Matthias, That new method to generate the pot file is problematic for GNOME translations. Until now, no GNOME modules require to be built to be able to generate the pot file. And this has always been a rule we stick with whenever some new module wanted to use the GNOME i18n infrastructure. That sort of design change is not something that should be taken lightly. I think that requiring building a module to obtain the pot file is bad for translators in general. It is then much more difficult for translators to update translations themselves (almost impossible for the majority of them). Even at an infrastructure level, you surely know that building big modules like GTK+ is often a challenge. And if then other modules begin to use the same procedure, this will be a nightmare to maintain in the i18n point of view. I'd like to ask the GNOME community to reconsider that change and do all what's possible to keep the legacy way of generating translations. I'm not particularly attached to intltool, so if we find another tool that does a better job, why not. But let's try all possible solution that do not require to build the modules themselves. Thanks for hearing us (me?). Claude -- www.2xlibre.net _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
