Mauro & Bob,

Mauro - That's great, but I have a couple of questions:

- What's the relationship between your translation and the Portugese
translation at
http://argouml-pt.tigris.org/source/browse/argouml-pt/trunk/src/org/argouml/
i18n/?  I'm not sure whether they are doing European Portugese or Brazilian
Portugese (or even if there's enough of a difference to worry about), but
hopefully the pt_BR translation would be able to reuse much of the pt_PT
translation.

- You mentioned that you were unable to test.  Is that because of a problem
with either ArgoUML or its documentation that we need to fix or was this
just a local issue?

Bob - you wrote:

Maintaining the translations is an ongoing process, so a little lag isn't a
big deal, but let's get the basic messages right before we ask folks to
translate them.

Messages of the form:

> menu.popup.create-dependency = Depends On 

where the rest of the message is composed using string concatentation in
Java don't work.  The message needs to be something of the form "{0} -> {1}"
or "{0} depends on {1}" or something similar so that the translators can
control the placement of the variable elements.  This isn't an issue just
for right-to-left and ideographic languages, but even western languages
which have different grammatical structures.
