The existing schema implicitly used simple convention "<Country> - <variant description" that did not adhere to the ideas of GUI gurus overlooking GNOME 3. That had to be changed. While gnome code for that change was around for a while, there was no action to change the actual descriptions. Perhaps, it is mostly my personal mismanagement fault. William McCann made really heroic standup a couple of nights ago - he "HIGified" (as I call it) all description in base.xml.in. There was preliminary agreement to make out-of-schedule release of xk-c for GNOME3 (while the scheduled release in May will happen as usual). That's how we ended with the current situation. So, in short: 1. There will be release 2.2 of xk-c with improved descriptions, next Monday (9 days from now). That will allow people to create live cds with gnome 3. It would be great to have as many translations as possible - while I realize that short notice will inevitably affect the statistics. 2. There will be another release 2.3 of xk-c in May. That would give translators more time to improve translations. Since the change in descriptions is really huge, I could consider string freeze longer than usual 2 weeks. I think for distributions it would be better to use that release rather than 2.2. I appreciate the hard work of translators and I understand you guys always do your best - so please accept my apologies for such a short notice. If some translations are not done - that is going to be my fault, not yours.
