If you think its a problem I will remove them. Like I said, I started
with the DD files for testing. What's left is just the very common
words, like File, Save, etc.

The credits from the DD files were not included since they weren't
in a standard format and I was using the gettext tools. Feel free
to add credits to the .po files and commit them (the .msg files are

tools and .po editors will keep them.
So you make a mistake in credits, you invite other people to fix it
for you?
Right now, what's included is not a lot, like 30-50 words per
translation. Those 30-50 words that are the most common software
words like File, Edit, Window, Open, Save, Cut, Copy, Paste,
Properties, Close, Help, etc.
Yeah, I figured out that you have cut out a lot of words from DD's
translations. I haven't compared very closely yet.
You can't claim copyright on translating those words, since there
are thousands of other copies of the exact same thing in other apps.
Look, if there are thousands of copies of the exact same thing in
other apps, then why did you make the Devel branch support exactly
the same 17 languages as the Desiredata branch does? You must have
thought of a reason... it is not a pure coïncidence.
You can claim copyright on a complete translation, that's why I
started the conversation now.
So, when does a translation start to be complete enough to be
copyrightable?
Do you think you can reach all the past translators by writing to pd-
list?
Now to force it to run using a specific locale, do this on the
terminal:
1) export LANG=en_CA
2) cd 0.41.4/src
3) ./pd
Btw, I don't claim that my english.tcl is especially representing
en_CA. It could be closer to en_GB but I don't know for sure. it
could still have bits specific to en_US in it.
Also, which language is the "no" code refers to? there isn't even a
language standard called just "norwegian".
