Isn't that unnecessary?
http://wiki.winehq.org/SublangNeutral says the search order is
1. LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
2. LANG_FRENCH, SUBLANG_FRENCH_BELGIAN
3. LANG_FRENCH, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
4. LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
Would a patch removing En resources in non En rc files be accepted? This
would allow for more accurate translation stats.
Or doesn't a fallback mechanism always apply?
The fallback mechanism works only at resource granularity not a string
level. A resource is is a menu, dialog, 16 STRINGTABLE strings, etc.
Thus to not break a resource one has to copy the English string over.
The move to PO files will fix this.
