Re: [HPLIP-Devel] Support for locales

[dwelch91 <dwe...@gm...>]

Hi, Philippe-

The toolbox (and all the other Python Qt code) is supposed to be setup to
use the Qt Linguist method of translation. Unfortunately, I do not think we
are quite ready with the proper code infrastructure to actually begin
translations (for example, I think the __tr() calls are incorrect). We are
planning on starting work on this in the near future.

We appreciate your interest in the project and hopefully we can benefit from
your assistance when the time comes.

Regards,

Don
