Hi, I would like to add the Bulgarian translators to the contributors list. I have several questions: 1. The list in:http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-desktop/trunk/gnome-about/contributors.h?view=markup should be alphabetically sorted (American Enlish collation). It is not sorted now - should someone fix this? 2. I want to add names in Cyrillic. For this: I start with the name in Cyrillic Then convert it in UTF-8 Then represent bytes outside ASCII hexadecimal Then I get the latin transliteration of the name and put it in N_() Then I put a comment with the cyrillic representation of the name Then I regenerate the po file and give there the proper Cyrillic representation.
In this grand scheme - why on Earth do I need the hexadecimal representation of the name? I would prefer to do sth like this: Give the name in Cyrillic and then add in parentheses the ASCII version like: Александър Шопов (Alexander Shopov) and never use the N_() macro. Thus the other teams will not have to bang their heads on rocks trying to guess what should be the representation of my name in Hiragana (for example) (no string breaks) . (Or if Alan Cox suddenly decides to write his name in Welsh, I will not have the unbelievable time of my life trying to guess who is who). (in this case the hexadecimal UTF will be necessary) Kind regards: al_shopov _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
