Re: en_AU translations

[Bleeter Yaluser <yaluser pacific net au>]

Hi!
I note from http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.8/en_AU/index.html 
someone's already committed one for evolution. Well done!

I *assume* then that I should take the rest of the defaults from there, 
and not the manx-gaelic page you pointed me at?

BTW, please credit my name as Peter Lawler, email address of 
gnome-i18n six-by-nine com au  I tend to hide behind Bleeter Yaluser for 
tax reasons. I'll chuck up a web page for gnome-i18n at some page on the 
website.



Pete.
