Re: gtk+ based translation tool

[Nacho <nacho resa gmail com>]

HI,
I am working on Gtranslator and i am integration new features.
But if you want a better transator editor, i think is a good idea open
a threath to discuss what do you want in gtranslator 2.0.
Yesterday i finished gucharmap integration, and today i am finishing
gdict integration. When i have more time i will try to finish plural forms
support. (I think gtranslator needs a plugins system like gedit but this
requires python support and i don't know anything about python).

Regards.

Hi!

Well, the current translation tools really annoy me and I often thought
about writing a new one because of some features:

- Automatic spell checking
- Semi-Automatic bug reporting for bad original strings
- Automatic line breaks at 78 characters
- Integrate list of often used standard translations

Possibly there is a lot more we might want to have. I personally never
had the time to really start this though it is not so difficult when
using libgettext-po. But I agree that translators should not have to
care about the po file format but should be able to do their job without
technical knowledge.

Regards,
Johannes
