Why not having a unique l10n package for common templates and specialised per application l10n packages for the applications that really need particular sentences/words ? That will allow to suppress repeats, thus decreasing translators' work and packages' size. In the other hand, the problem is how to be sure that a particular application *really* needs its own template. How can this mechanism be integrated with upstream development, etc. <troll> Why can't everybody speak french ? </troll> -- | Sylvain Sauvage, docteur [IAD & SMA] | bzz ? .o:. | GREYC -- CNRS UMR 6072, Universit� de Caen | ` % ^..^___� o::o:: | t�l://+33 (0)2 31 56 74 31 | @ (oo) ) ::o::o |__ http://www.info.unicaen.fr/~sauvage _______| _____`|'___WW�WW_____][__
