[Gaim-i18n] should I wait?

[Shalom Craimer <scraimer@gm...>]

After getting the e-mail yesterday about a string-freeze, I immidiately wen=
t
and downloaded the gaim.pot from http://gaim.sourceforge.net/i18n/ and
translated all the missing/fuzzy strings. Imagine my suprise when today I
notice another 6 fuzzy string having appeared in the translation. Should I
wait until all the changes are complete? Or: What did I not do right?

May be this new strings come from /src/protocols/bonjour/jabber.c. This=20
file was missing in po/POTFILES.in at start of string freeze.

I think, this "string freeze" is not a very strict string freeze. The=20
developers fix bugs and _should_ not change strings in the next weeks=20
before 2.0.0 release. And the translators should use this relatively=20
long time for translation.

You can send your translation already now for testing. But I think there =

will be a few changes until the last days before 2.0.0 release. Two=20
examples: 1) Sometimes a developer must change a string during bug=20
fixing. 2) If a new translation will be included in Gaim, the country=20
name will be added for Gaim->About.

The gaim.pot file on the website is generated nightly. If you grabbed it
immediately upon receiving the string freeze e-mail, then you got the
one from the night before, which didn't include the changes made that
day.
