Re: [Gaim-i18n] Search comment for Jabber is not translatable

[Nathan W. <fac...@fa...>]

Very few Jabber implementations use the hardcoded field names anymore.
Most use the x:data implementation, which means that the instructions,
and all field names and field types come from the server.  There is a
provision in some parts of XMPP/Jabber for the server to send multiple
things with an xml:lang attribute, so we could start paying attention to
that.  Apart from that, it's pretty damn difficult to translate sanely.

User search, chat room configuration, and a whole slew of other things
are done this way, and it is the preferred way of getting information
from the user.  The list will only grow.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
