No. I'm talking about all modules with 2 translated messages, 1 fuzzy
message and errors.

The other ones that are not those where not moved by mistake (I really
don't know why!!!)

Sorry. I was playing with two xscreensaver branches and also with the
latest xscreensaver tarball (the first that had i18n support) and seems
that I lose some files, It's hard to get the latest file when you have
several sources.

Please, Could you move the other .po files?

Thanks.

As I said was an error.

An unmantained .po file is for me a .po file with errors that only have
2 or 3 strings (that come from old .desktop files) and have errors (like
a wrong charset).

Christian, you know how I work with i18n and l10n in GNOME and I hope
you didn't thought that about me. I think that all my GNOME work tells
about me that I'm not so idiot to have this stupid policy...

Yes it's an error.

You can look the original es.po file that was moved. It was less than
60% translated, so I didn't move only 100% translated files (I think
that no one was full translated).

What?

This modules is NOT my module. I'm not the mantainer so I don't think I
should remove them. I added a file saying where should be new
translations just after I saw a new translation commit (Remember that
the dead modules does not remove the old translations, they add a file
with THIS_MODULE_IS_DEAD, or something like that. It's not the same but
is similar...). Also I sent an email to gnome-i18n so I think that is
not my problem if a translator does not read my banners and put they
translations at xscreensaver module (Of course, I'm talking about any
commit after my banner addition).

If I remove the .po file he/she will add his/her new translation anyway
because he/she does not read.

Well, as I said, the other .po files that have more than 2 or 3 strings
should be moved. They were not moved because I didn't saw them. SORRY.

Cheers.
