Hi, It's not a code reivew but I'ld like to ask yours l10n problem.
Currently vermillion desktop has lots of untranslations. I have two points for the translation issues. Today I investigated bug 6485370 and found many internal patches effect .desktop translations. I guess you can't remove the internal patches from vermillion: CASE1: gnome-menus-02-application-submenu-rename.diff CASE2: control-center-13-menu-entry.diff CASE3: glade-01-menu-entry.diff CASE4: dasher-02-menu-entry.diff CASE5: evolution-02-menu-entry.diff CASE6: ekiga-06-menu-entry.diff CASE7: gimp-01-menu-entry.diff CASE8: gtkam-01-menu-entry.diff CASE9: sound-juicer-02-menu-entry.diff CASE10: gnome-desktop-01-jds-about-branding.diff CASE11: gnome-terminal-02-menu-entry.diff Can we separate .desktop/.directory packages from base packages? It means the desktop packages are translated by Sun internally. As you agree, we'll move to use Community translations but I would say currently almost .desktop/.directory files uses Sun specific messages. The second problem is to change messages in source codes. E.g. JDS gnome-panel has the special timezone dialog but community does not. I'ld like to suggest to separate the translation domain from community. In bug 6459568, My suggestion trys to use gnome-panel-jds.mo This way can get community translations only but this way requires translation tarballs for vermillion. # cd gnome-panel-*/po # intltool-update -p Do you have any suggestions? We need to get the exact word counts to be translated Sun internally. Thanks, fujiwara
