Your efforts to complete the lang-vi UI strings (in spite of the exasperating repeats) are much appreciated. My impression is that while Sugar's reasonably international developer base and feedback from deployments (along with Sugar's inherently graphics-heavy / text-light design aesthetic) have worked to the advantage of i10n/L10n issues, I think your comments about room for improvement in i18n best-practices are well taken and I would certainly welcome more voices raising such issues in forums like the sugar-devel (http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel) and OLPC L10n (http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization) lists so that i18n/L10n design concerns remain front-and-center in the minds of Sugar developers. cjl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Translate-pootle mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle
