I dont think the strings in there are frozen yet? njpatel? (I believe he is adding email metadata to the tile which will need translation) As soon as I have confirmation of string freeze I will do so. In the meantime do i need to apply your patch with just gi18n.h replaced with gi18n-lib.h? (me knows very little about translations!) _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
