New versions of the Translate toolkit and of Pootle were released today. The announcement for the Translate Toolkit is in a separate mail on the translate-devel list (and the translate-announce list).
Pootle and the Translate Toolkit are the leading Free tools for online localisation management and translation. This is a bugfix release, containing several new features and improvements. Version 1.2.1 or later of the Translate Toolkit is needed for Pootle 1.2. Toolkit 1.2.0 might still work, but is not recommended due to reliability improvements that were made. Important changes for upgrading from earlier versions are documented on the wiki at http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/important_changes Highlights: * Updated translations - we now have 57 languages enabled in the default installation. * An improvement for multiword searches (thanks to Lars Kruse) * Reliability improvements * A fix for a layout bug in the case of very long location comments or context strings (such as we are used to for OpenOffice.org) * A fix to work with older versions of kid There are a few improvements in the Translate Toolkit since version 1.2.0 which will benefit Pootle users, such as improved reliability of statistics and some extra customisations to disable capitalisation checks for Indic languages. Pootle ships with interface translations for 57 languages. A few strings had to be made fuzzy due to translation errors. Please continue to update the incomplete Pootle translations for your language and to review suggestions and the quality checks.
