Christian? Thanks for including the i18n framework and existing translations into the master of git-gui. I loosely watched the progress here, but due to other commitments I cannot spend as much time on git-gui i18n as I initially thought. I'd happily update and polish the German translation, though (will send other email for that), but I probably can't follow any of the ongoing i18n cleanup work. One question came up when seeing the i18n code really in git-gui.git: How are translators supposed to submit new or updated translations? Is git-gui-i18n.git of any use anymore? This doesn't seem so. Should updated translations just be submitted by email to git@vger? In any case, the instructions in po/README should probably be updated to explain the recommended way of submitting translation updates. Oh, and po/git-gui.pot should probably be updated to reflect the latest string additions and changes. Thanks a lot. Christian
