I'd say so, since the PO header does not have a specific category. https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/gnun/html_node/PO-Heade r.html Jürgen > > Scott signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

He said he still has interest and that he might send in a translation. He is worried about his email address ending up in the hands of email scanners though so I haven't updated the email address in the po file. Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If he is still interested in doing translations, I will updated his email address. But what if he is no longer interested? Alex quit LyX when he became a father due to lack of time. Maybe he has now time again. Let's see. I cannot find a new email address for Zoran T. Filipović (the former Serbian translator), The last time I got a mail from him from zoran-dot-filipovic-at-yahoo.com and I cannot find a new email address for Ramon Flores (the name is common which makes searching difficult). The last time I contacted him under fa2ramon-at-usc.es unfortunately this address is dead since 5 years. For the case of the Galician translation, there is an entry for "Language-Team" which has as value "g...@li.org". Should we email that address to see if someone else is interested in helping with translations? This is a good idea. regards Uwe

Lost translators
There are three email addresses that are no longer valid and have not been valid for a while. I've found the Hungarian translator, and sent him an email to a different email address. If he is still interested in doing translations, I will updated his email address. But what if he is no longer interested? I cannot find a new email address for Zoran T. Filipović (the former Serbian translator), and I cannot find a new email address for Ramon Flores (the name is common which makes searching difficult). Is there anything we should do in the po file if we know that an email address is no longer valid? What if the person explicitly says they are no longer interested in doing translations? Do we just leave the Last-Translator field as it is, which is technically correct (the person at that email address was the last translator)? For the case of the Galician translation, there is an entry for "Language-Team" which has as value "g...@li.org". Should we email that address to see if someone else is interested in helping with translations? Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature
