Huda, the problem is that the roles aren't a fixed set of strings. New roles can be added, old roles can be deleted or updated. Keeping them in a file just doesn't scale and we can't do it just because it is more convenient for translation. The application just can't know if a role name is the default one or it is a new one with a changed name or other properties. Happy translating, Nikolay. _______________________________________________ wp-polyglots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-polyglots
