Re: More than 400 new strings inside gnome-control-center

[Arafat Medini <lumina silverpen de>]

To be honest and maybe you will hate me for this ;), but I am against
it. We have now Evo with its 4000 new strings and then do a work which
will be obsolete anyway ?!

I know as an Arabic translatator that gnome is not wide-spread in the
Arabic region so I know translating these 400 strings will harm myself
and the Arabic support for maybe not being 100% (or being it with more
work I have to invest) but it will not have any benefit on the languages
region, this applies for many other languages don't forget that the
majority of languages are of regions where gnome is not really
wide-spread.
So this whole talk leads me to my big concern: why do I have to invest
work on strings which will be duplicated?! 400 strings are much...

On the sidenote, we can't really "reuse" existing translations, the only
way (at least for me) was to use an auto-translator which is not
accurate which made me go the strings again anyway...
