Why isn't it good enough to translate it in the user interface?
It's not so much about translation as configuration and known locations. For instance, in Windows, I can change the 'My Documents' folder for each user to point to a network location on a cluster filesystem. Stuff like that ends up being incredibly useful. Plus, applications can use a known location instead of guessing or just being stupid - ie. the 'Documents' folder can be seen and used by all apps even though the path is actually /export/docs/jdub instead of /home/jdub/Documents. Known location support should *also* be designed to provide in-GUI (not on-disk) translation. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ "If I had an inch for every penis size spam I'd recieved..." - Luis Villa _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
