Description Ladislav Michnovic 2008-03-12 09:46:19 UTC 
Please split off yast2 entries from the huge update-desktop-files po file. 
It would help translators to keep YaST completely translated.
Comment 1 Carlos Robinson 2008-03-12 10:08:10 UTC 
Yes, please do!
Comment 2 Forgotten User XG9X5w8kVa 2008-03-12 16:41:09 UTC 
Please do!
Comment 3 Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2008-03-13 11:55:29 UTC 
I agree, please do it.

I also think this is a very good idea :-)

Having a "really" big file does not help translators at all because of its unmanageability.

It's just "psychological": people will refuse to translate a bunch of messages but will be pleased to work with a smaller and well organized file.

In addition, I think YaST is the most used tool in openSUSE and having a good translation of all the modules, messages, buttons and explanations will provide a very user-friendly experience for newcomers ;-)

coolo already wrote such a split script: lcn/50-tools/lcn-split-update-desktop-files.sh

I guess we'd better avoid the split_chars, but otherwise I think we should go for it.
Comment 6 Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2008-03-13 17:00:52 UTC 
Yes, I think that script could work, so in the future we'll focus our work on update-desktop-files-yast
Comment 7 Karl Eichwalder 2008-04-03 10:17:38 UTC 
Done--thanks to coolo.
