Having a language directory won't help to have more attention by developers, actually thy don't care much about it cause most of them speak english and have a english centric vison of the world. >Maybe even have ALL languages files moved to (perhaps) /wp-content/ >languages to keep them all in one place. A them with for example 10 languages actually included need to be installed simply coopyng it's directory under the theme dir, same for a complex plugin with lot of program files and images etc. Having a separated directory for languages will ask the user to upload the language file into a differente place, when them nd plugin get upgraded user have to remeber to copy again the update languages etc etc. The actual system for internationalization has nothing bad in it, the fact is poor used is just the lazyness of developers and some not so clear documentation. Suppose that wp offer a showcase for best plugin and theme and to have this one of the thing you must have is to have a fully internatuionalized theme, to get visibility the developper WILL use the right methods, having a fully I18N demo plugin and them will help. Probably next distro of WO will came with a new theme more sophisticated than default one, this theme MUST ne I18N cause it will used as a base for future theme as kubrik vas for lot of developers. I had some expirienced and with some of care and help to developers they are happy to have their prodcts I18N. If all the traslation tema will care for developpers of theyr countru and we put some good infos on the codex we can get a better result them mess up with gettex system fo WP and dirctory locations. -- Stefano Aglietti - StallonIt on IRCnet - ICQ#: 2078431 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sites: http://www.40annibuttati.it (personal blog) http://www.wordpress-it.it (WordPress Italia) _______________________________________________ wp-polyglots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-polyglots
