Re: [Scrollkeeper-devel] Scrollkeeper translations and translation projects

[Dan M. <mu...@al...>]

Hi Christian,

It sounds like we should move translations to the Translation Project.  
(Does anybody else want to weigh in with an opinion, one way or the 
other?)

I'd like to wait a few more days since I recently sent out the POT file to
previous translators for updates.  Then I can make a new release with the
updated po files and move over to the Translation Project.

Thanks,

Dan
