Regarding to the LINGUAS file, we have a special issue here. In the past, we ship LINGUAS file with the packages. After we introduced online tranlation systems, I changed this part and have the configure script scan the po dir, and build the LINGUAS file on-the-fly. So each time a new language is added from the translation systems, nobody needs to edit the LINGUAS file. Pros: 1. Nobody needs to maintain LINGUAS file. 2. Everytime a new language is added, it's immediately available and will be picked up automatically by the build process so users can test the translations immediately. 3. XFCE, AFAIK, seems to use similar approach Cons: 1. If some newly added po files are broken, this automatically breaks the build process. 2. Some translation with bad quality becomes available before they're well-tested. Current approach is very convenient, but later proven to be problematic sometimes if there are some broken po files added to the repo. So, should we change it? If we do change it, I hope that our translation coordinator can help maintain the LINGUAS files for all LXDE components to keep them up to date.
