Re: [Audacity-translation] Petition regarding Audacity's translation to Basque

[James C. <cr...@in...>]

Hi Osoitz.

I would like to check whether you care about your users, or whether you 
care about something else.

Would you feel that giving Xabier's translation the code eu_EU [Basque] 
and your translation the code eu_ES [Basque (alternative)] a reasonable 
solution, given that we do not speak Basque and do not know the ins and 
outs?  If the answer is 'no', you might well be wasting your time 
working on an alternative to what we have used so far.

The current planned deadline for translation would be 30 July 2017.  It 
could easily slip to later, but that is Release Manager's decision and 
out of my hands.  There will be a new .pot file.  Given the amount of 
work in doing a new translation, rather than just updating an old one, 
it may be best to plan for it for Audacity 2.2.1, rather than 2.2.0.

--James.
