[Doxygen-develop] Info on the status of the language translators (July 8, 2002)

Info on the status of the language translators (July 8, 2002)
(The previous report was from June 25.)

(Related to the Doxygen-1.2.16-20020707 in CVS; full
translator_report.txt included in the attached zip file.
Posted to doxygen-users -- still searching
for Finnish and Swedish language maintainers -- and to the 
doxygen-developers.)

Hi,

Firstly, thanks to all active language maintainers. Now...

==========
ATTENTION! 
==========

New method was added to the base Translator class. Because
of that, almost all language translator classes became
obsolete. The good news is that it is the one very easy to
implement -- just one method with one simple string, so go
for it!  This is a good time to do it now because Dimitri
announced that version 1.2.17 is going to be released soon. 

Thanks

  -----------------------------------------------
  We are still searching for Finnish and Swedish
  maintainers because their translators became
  extremely obsolete.  It seems that the original
  maintainers are not in touch with doxygen any more
  (read it "unreachable").
  
  It may happen that Finnish and Swedish translator
  will disappear one day, when more complicated
  changes will be applied to the translator part of
  doxygen sources.
  
  Please, if you know some Finnish or Swedish speaking
  friends (programmers) who could be interested in
  doxygen, try to contact them.
  -----------------------------------------------

Notice for the Serbian maintainer: Please, 
add the "private:" to the beginning of the TranslatorSerbian
class to be consistent with other language translator
classes.  The translator.pl relies on the structure.  
As a consequence, the translator report will not contain
the false information about missing and obsolete methods.

Notice for the Polish maintainer: Have a look at
the attached translator report (inside the zip archive) to
see what obsolete methods should be removed from your
sources. Their code will never be called.

We have many hot candidates for up-to-date: firstly those
who were up-to-date last time, and also Chinese, Danish,
Greek, Korean, Slovak, Spanish, and Ukrainian who are at
most 4 steps back, which means that they have to implement
at most 5 methods to become up-to-date.

With regards,
  Petr
