Glad to see you are on your virtual feet again :) > I'm seriously impressed with the New, Improved Pootle™!

Excellent, you have Julen to thank for the shiny interface and Alaa for lots and lots of coding on the backend. I think you'll be excited about new things in 2.1 also :) > Although we don't expect very long strings, can Pootle expand the > translation input field further than four or five lines when you are > typing the translation in?

Another reason to make sure you tell everybody to doing Google Summer of Code with us as its a proposed project. I think we lost autoexpanding text area in the move to 2.0.

But not sure that would address your 2,5 page issue. We need better thinking on how to solve that. -- Dwayne Bailey Associate Research Director +27 12 460 1095 (w) Translate.org.za ANLoc +27 83 443 7114 (c) Recent blog posts: * Translate Toolkit - a powerful localisation toolkit http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/dwayne/en/content/translate-toolkit-powerful-localisation-toolkit * The sky's the limit for new Zulu spell checker * Everyone has the power to champion their language Firefox web browser in Afrikaans - http://af.www.mozilla.com/af/ African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) - http://africanlocalisation.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
