>From a translator perspective, I'd like to comment that the continuing
string changes in the Mandrake tools sometimes are driving me up the
wall. Up until this weekend there have been string changes without the
translators even being notified in any way (I wonder how many developers
know about the cooker-i18n list?). This is making the "Mandrake
experience" a less pleasant to non-English users because they get
confronted with mixed english/own language interfaces.

To make a long story short: next time I would like to see a string freeze
that can only be broken in special cases and with notification of
translators in due time. The way the Gnome Translation Project works, can
be used as a model.

regards,
