Yes, for more than one person it is impossible to do this without. But even with only you: Just replace "several people" by "yourself, but working on this after several weeks pause". It would be impossible to keep all chosen keyword translations in memory. Effectively, when you re-visit that file, you would have to look up "How did I decide to translate 'transaction' again"... and this is exactly what the glossary should be the place for. > Furthermore I ask myself if there shouldn't be just one glossary for all > German language files.

Feel free to submit a patch to glossary/de.po that adds your choices, like so: msgid "Asset" msgstr "Aktiva (de_CH: Aktiven)" Regards, Christian _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
