Great, thanks! Vietnamese is one of the key missing languages for Inkscape. Welcome to the team! :-) > I've had a look at your wiki page (information for translators), > which is very helpful.

The 0.44 release is scheduled to be released within a matter of a few days, or less. It may be a bit late for 0.44.0, but you are definitely in time for 0.44.1. The 0.45 development cycle will last about a couple months, and we plan to put out a few 0.44.x point releases during that cycle. Arpad is the contact point for translation work on the stable 0.44 branch; for the 0.45 branch, any of the developers can commit changes. > 2.

Inkscape is actually not a GNOME project, although we do follow many of the same procedures and do use Gtk. We've looked into becoming a GNOME project a few times before, and it's certainly possible we could become one in the future, but currently we are an independent project. Thus, you should get the PO/POT file through our SVN, and follow the procedures outlined by Inkscape's translation team. And thank you for taking the time to help with the translation into Vietnamese. :-) Bryce _______________________________________________ Inkscape-translator mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-translator
