I would prefer the latter. I'll first change this in trunk an then put the combined patch in 1.4 > There is also a bug about the fact that the format names cannot be > translated.

Yes: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-gettext.html (although I did not use it, but I am sure it could be made to work). > Finally, another thought for later: instead of adding hardcoded output > formats like we do, wouldn't it be better to add converters LyX->foo > and mark them 'internal'?

Why would you make "internal" a property of the converter? I proposed a patch some days ago that introduces a "noexport" flag for formats. IMHO the decision whether a format should be listed as exportable or not depends on the format, not on the used converters. I don't understand how converters that work on the .lyx file could be affected. Could you explain, please? Georg
