Gidday!

I'm new subscriber to this list and I'm using E17 for a while now.

As Massimo mentioned, I am in the habit of commiting po files that turn up
here from translators who don't have / don't wish to get cvs commit access.

The main points are:
- copy enlightenment.pot to <your>.po then translate all the entries. I
guess you have done this already.
- as the mail you found says, you can then merge any subsequent changes to
enlightenment.pot in with <your>.po use "msgmerge -U <your>.po
enlightenment.pot"
- Sometimes you'll find this creates "fuzzy" entries in <your>.po file.
Usually the string needs retranslating - you can delete the "fuzzy" line
after you have fixed the translation.

For the first as well as subsequent updates, I personally don't mind
receving the whole .po file, but usually in a gzipped format (or something
similar) is good:
- gmail seems to be a bit flakey handling po files, but it handles archive
files better,
- save a little bandwidth, although I imagine most people on this list are
happy getting lots of big emails. Even "diff" files for .po turn out to be
huge, so it's easier for me to just to overwrite the file, rather than apply
a patch.

I usually get the files committed within a couple of days of receipt.

I noticed some untranslated word like "Desktop 0,0" or


That got fixed recently - it seems to be working here.

I noticed also that the language module doesn't offer esperanto (EO, EPO) in

Regarding the language module, please contact Aleksej 'sndev' Struk!
I have never used that module myself, as I'm able to do my English and
Japanese input with the same keyboard layout.
I'm not sure if Aleksej is reading the e-intl list...

I'll send the file very soon and I think I'll maintain it as long as E17

Should be a long time then :-)
