Once all the string has been translated, he has also checked the "Validate with no change" to get them included in the next XE release. But we have some doubts about the process: 1. Why are there a different number of keys for each language? As far as we understand, each translation must content the same number of keys than the default translation (English, to the best of my knowledge). 2. How "validation" is performed? If we as translators are able of validation our own translation, it has not much sense to add this extra step. On the other side, for certain languages as Galician, it won't be easy to get a "validator" other than the person that did the translation. 3. When a given Application Resource file of a given language is officially released? >>> Here's my +1 >>> >> +1 >> >> >>> Thanks >>> -Vincent >>> >>> > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > > > Thanks for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo RodrÃguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
