You should do that yourself for your language only. The catch is that obsolete strings, while obsolete, are still considered part of translation. If those strings re-appear, they'll get reused from those "obsolete" translations by msgmerge (used by intltool). Some strings can certainly be removed, since we're pretty confident that they won't reappear (such as locations), and I have already done that for translations I maintain (sr.po and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). > If you need someone to go through the evolution file and remove all > strings which have obviously been replaced (e.g. old-style country > and language names), I am willing to do that. That file is a pain. :( Please don't do that, except possibly for Vietnamese: each translation team coordinator should be in full control of their translation, unless agreed otherwise (like in this case). And, as noted above, obsolete strings are actually useful.
