Even if i disagree about not having special localized date for them and plugins, i agree a lot about this. I launched here in other mailing list and on IRC meetings too the idea to launche a "WP Qaulity Ribbon" campaign to stress plugins and theme developpers to have theyr products meeting a series or requirements and one of this was a fully I18N. The problem is updates, people testing theme and plugins to check if they meets the reqeusted feature etc... so till no nothng was done even if me and another couuple of people vloounteer about this. One of the biggest problem is that default theme and plugins are not I18N, with 2.1 we will have plougns (dbbackup and akismet with theyr own text-domain so locale distro will have language files and this will help other plugin developpers do the same. Even the header info show on the plugins dashboard could be localized even if using a slightly different method than an extternal laguage files. The problem is for theme, since 1.2.x version we decided to remove all gettext functions from distributed theme, but now iI think was a bad idea and having I18N back to the distro theme would be a great thing, that coudld encourage theme devoloppers to do the same. -- 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
