Hi Quim, Quim Gil a écrit : Let's just do it, then. I guess we have already a definitive text that can go to the translation teams, isn't it? Yes, it's the one I sent you yesterday (the list servers being down for a couple of days has put everything out of whack). Cheers, Dave. --

I don't think, any German would favour Munich (Bavaria - Germany). Ok, that was a bad example then. Barcelona (Catalonia - Spain) is frequently used down here precisely to avoid arguments. What should GNOME fans in Extremedura, for example, say about such a distinction? This distinction is
