No feedback yet... I've come up with an argument against deleting the descriptions: * Some of them have already been translated, and by deleting them we throw that work out of the window. Before deleting the descriptions the statistics looked like this: da.po: 289 translated, 0 fuzzy, 112 untranslated de.po: 101 translated, 32 fuzzy, 268 untranslated es.po: 281 translated, 27 fuzzy, 93 untranslated fr.po: 285 translated, 1 fuzzy, 115 untranslated ja.po: 210 translated, 1 fuzzy, 190 untranslated pl.po: 254 translated, 56 fuzzy, 91 untranslated --------------------------------------------------- Total: 1420 translated, 117 fuzzy, 869 untranslated Here 1420 / (1420+117+869) = 59% of the messages have been translated. After the trimming, we get: da.po: 253 translated, 0 fuzzy, 21 untranslated de.po: 96 translated, 29 fuzzy, 149 untranslated es.po: 194 translated, 14 fuzzy, 66 untranslated fr.po: 236 translated, 0 fuzzy, 38 untranslated ja.po: 203 translated, 1 fuzzy, 70 untranslated pl.po: 171 translated, 39 fuzzy, 64 untranslated -------------------------------------------------- Total: 1153 translated, 83 fuzzy, 408 untranslated The translation percentage is now 70% :-) (Hmm... It would be fun to have such statistics generated automatically like I've seen it at other projects.) Regardless of those statistics, I'm going to delete the descriptions. Mostly because many of them cannot be properly translated (with their references to tables and figures in the Exif spec) and because they are from said spec. -- Martin Geisler --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- http://mgeisler.net Read, write, create Exif data in PHP with PEL: http://pel.sf.net Take control of your webserver with PHP Shell: http://phpshell.sf.net
