I think that who translate gimp also translate any other GNOME module so He/she will have intltool installed. A mantainer will not need the "normal" update.sh file, but I know that gimp has several customized update files for extract strings from .scm file and things like that. Those update.sh scripts should not be changed with intltool because intltool-update cannot extract the strings. > > Abel > > Cheers. > _______________________________________________ > gnome-i18n mailing list > gnome-i18n@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n -- Carlos Perelló Marín mailto:carlos@gnome-db.org mailto:carlos.perello@hispalinux.es http://www.gnome-db.org http://www.Hispalinux.es Valencia - Spain
