Hi everybody

GNOME 3.0 came and went, and i18n seemed to never be a goal of GNOME
3.0. I'm hoping things can improve in future releases, so I'm trying to
follow up on some bugs that affect i18n that I have reported before
which haven't received attention yet.

In which cases are we allowed to fix i18n issues or other errors in the
source text ourselves? Even in a case with a patch supplied in Bugzilla
I'm not necessarily getting a response. Of course everybody is busy, but
it seems that some i18n issues are simply ignored while other things are
getting attention, so I'm wondering to what extent we can still count on
good i18n being an important project goal and hold developers to it just
as we can for usability, security or other important issues.

As a case in point, can people speaking other languages please comment
on this bug?
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644090
Particularly the use/non-use of plurals is worrying to me, even though
it doesn't affect Afrikaans as badly as it affects other languages (as
far as I know).

My 2 cents for Spanish language and team added.

Thanks for this.

 

Keep well
Friedel

Best regards.
