There are issues between 2.1 and 3.0 that will be resolved, but aren't
yet. A couple of years ago the trunk which became the 3.0 branch was
changed to include the templates in the message catalog. This is
good as
it puts all the translation in one place. However, since that was
done,
there has been much updating including the addition of the above
mentioned three languages which is not reflected in the 3.0 branch.
So, we need to make a consistent base to work from. This could be the
2.1 branch as it has the most up to date translations, but it doesn't
have the templates in the message catalog. I am willing to work on
this,
but right now, I need a little break.
I agree that we should use the 2.1 branch as the best basis from which
to start. I think there will be much more similarity between the 2.1
and (hopeful) 2.2 branches, all depending on what happens with the web
u/i.
As for the templates, while I think moving them into the catalogs is a
win over what we had, I still hope that we'll eventually (maybe just
for 3.0) switch to a i18n-friendly templating engine, where only the
translatable strings will be extracted into the catalog, with all the
other HTML goo stripped out. A translator should not have to worry
about that stuff!
3.0 is a long way from needing translation, so let's concentrate on
getting a good prototype based on the 2.1 strings, eventually
migrating them to 2.2 as development on that branch ramps up. I
suspect there will be some decent overlap between 2.2 and 3.0.
