Re: [Sugar-devel] Hidden Browse feature (from webkit I think)
You might also want to mention that WebKitGTK+ has not generated a valid POT file for two years and so chances are you will be seeing some English strings. http://l10n.gnome.org/module/webkit/ Bugs have been on file at webkit for a while as well as one pointing upstream to intltool, but no action has been seen in the two years since it was first noticed. Rather an embarrassing situation for any Gnome-based browser (Epihany Browse). Sad really. cjl On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 6:43 PM, Manuel Quiñones ma...@laptop.org wrote: 2012/9/18 Gary C Martin garycmar...@googlemail.com: Hi folks, While I remember...

That is a standard feature of both webkit browsers and of mozilla based browsers. - Original message - Hi folks, While I remember...
