Sure, I can also provide a diff for the man page, if you think it would
be an interesting feature. For example, the man page says:
[snip]
Menu Anatomy
Menus consist of any number of titles which are inactive menu items
that usually appear at the top of the menu, normal items triggering
various actions when selected,separator lines between the items, tear
off bars (a horizontal broken line) that tear off the menu when
selected, and sub menu items indicated with a triangle pointing left
or right, depending on the direction in which the sub menu appears.
All the above menu items are optional.
Additionally, if the menu is too long to fit on the screen, the excess
menu items are put in a continuation menu and a sub menu with the
string "More..." is placed at the bottom of the menu. Finally, there
may be a picture running up either side of the menu (a "side bar").
[/snip]
May I add something like:
[snip]
This string ("More...") honours the locale, though the msgid "More&..."
[/snip]
??? If you have a better suggestion, let me know. I think that
documenting the feature would be nice, but maybe I am wrong, and it is
enough to include the msgids in the po files.
I guess so, but I'm not sure.. I'm afraid that these details would
make our huge man page even more unreadable :P Opinions from the
senior devs?
I can make a single patch for all the po files is anyone can provide
translations for the word "More", I don't trust google translator :P If
that is not the case, may I patch only the english locale? Or may I
patch all of them using english, so anyone will remember to translate
it later?
I would just add the translated ones for now.. If you could provide
patches for other languages it would be great.
Cheers,
Renato

The discussion started at fvwm-workers, but I got someone confused in the middle and started posting at [EMAIL PROTECTED] at some point.

Sorry, I forgot to include the Changelog entry, new patch attached. Ok, I've reviewed the patch and will submit it soon. I've made some small corrections though: * First of all, the ChangeLog for the localization files is on the po/ subdir. * The translation entries have a description on top of them that help locating the code to which they apply, so I've added that. * Finally I've "compacted" a bit the manual page entry and the main ChangeLog entry: usually you don't need a throughly explanation of the changes, a simple note suffices (and usually is more readable). You can check the reviewed patch (on annex), which should help you next time. Other than that, good work :) Cheers, Renato gtMore_v3.patch Description: Binary data
