I've also just submitted another ticket with the latest update. Sorry i couldn't do that earlier. (BTW, do you guys use NSIS? NSIS Unicode [1] will support Vietnamese in its next version. I submitted the files today.) from Clytie Vietnamese Free Software Translation Team http://vnoss.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:l10n [1] http://www.scratchpaper.com/We do use NSIS, and can only support languages in the installer that 1)it supports 2)we have a translation file for.Currently the win32 installer translations are a different file than therest of the translations, and not as well managed.
What can we do about this?Meanwhile, is there anyway a Windows user can make use of our Vietnamese Pidgin translation? Can s/he compile it separately, or install the program manually, in some way? I have the translation file up on FTP, so users can access it. A viable workaround would be welcomed by our users.
Is it reasonable for Pidgin to start using NSIS Unicode soon? It will support Vietnamese in the next version, and already supports a lot more languages than non-Unicode NSIS.
Jim Park, the developer of Unicode NSIS, is keen to help projects expand their Windows user base to UTF-8 languages. He's currently working on that with OpenOffice.org.
How can we improve the management of the Pidgin win32 installer translations? Could we start with listing their status the way the main interface file is listed [1] and adding info about them to the Tips for Translators page?
If you'll point me to the info, or to the person managing the win32 files, I'm willing to add the info to the TfT page.
Then, at least we would have current translations for those files. Maybe we can work together to improve the way the win32 files are managed. :)
