But we do want this to work. > 3) I didn't found the string in launchpad for several strings.

Feel free to report them here and I will add gettext wrappers for them.

Feel free to report those here as well. We should use autosize where appropriate. > 5) What's the best way to treat the special words (repository, commit, > merge, shelve and so). Perhaps it's better to speak with other italian > Mercurial Yeah, that's the best solution. If there's an Italian translation of hg itself, it would be good to follow their lead. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
