Friedel can correct me if I'm wrong... Pootle extends the merging functionality to do the above. Actually there are two areas of this 1) uploads, 2) version control updates. There are some patches to move this from Pootle into the Toolkit. The main advantage of that being that we can then run functionality for the above from a command line tool. This was not implemented in 1.2 as it was invasive and late in the stabilisation of 1.2 Expect to see it in the next release. -- Dwayne Bailey Associate +27 12 460 1095 (w) Translate.org.za +27 83 443 7114 (c) Recent blog posts: * Almost there - Virtaal and OpenDocument http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/dwayne/en/content/almost-there-virtaal-and-opendocument * Spelling Rulz * The birth of the GNU generation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Translate-pootle mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle
