Re: Sun translation content

[Paul Duffy <dubhthach compsoc nuigalway ie>]

Well to be honest i havn't nother really with ILUG, i know there had being
a project ran through them to do Mandrake before, but the Irish
translation of Gnome had been basically dead since 2000 so i didn't
bother, though i should have really. Well as for Peig thank god i didn't
have to do that in school, but to be honest alot of it is small enough
work so yeah don't need to be literally genius. Especially since i have
done Irish since the Leaving and i didn't think i was confident to do IT
through Irish here in Galway lol

In the past we have delivered into gnome-i18n and let the various language teams msgmerge content into the module working branches from there. However, I know that gnome-i18n was getting tiresomely sizable and going forward it might be a better idea if we had a separate module (sun-po? sun-i18n?) into which only our po content would go.
