Hi everybody GNOME 3.0 came and went, and i18n seemed to never be a goal of GNOME 3.0. I'm hoping things can improve in future releases, so I'm trying to follow up on some bugs that affect i18n that I have reported before which haven't received attention yet.
In which cases are we allowed to fix i18n issues or other errors in the source text ourselves? Even in a case with a patch supplied in Bugzilla I'm not necessarily getting a response. Of course everybody is busy, but it seems that some i18n issues are simply ignored while other things are getting attention, so I'm wondering to what extent we can still count on good i18n being an important project goal and hold developers to it just as we can for usability, security or other important issues. As a case in point, can people speaking other languages please comment on this bug? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644090 Particularly the use/non-use of plurals is worrying to me, even though it doesn't affect Afrikaans as badly as it affects other languages (as far as I know).
