Hi Clytie, > Ah. I see. A difference file of a different type. ;)
Sorry, I think you call it .gsi file. So please use the same format you have used for deliverying the translation files. Clytie, all I can say is: deliver the fixes as soon as possible, attach them to an issue and write in the issue that this are quality critical bugs. As for the mnemonics, for the CCJK languages we run a script which automatically takes the English letter used in the English version. Because of this automatic script we never spend time in setting mnemonics manually in the above *Asian* languages ... should such a script be run on VI as well?
