Re: Strange LINGUAS in GIMP quick reference makefile

[Ask Hjorth Larsen <asklarsen gmail com>]

Hi gimp documentation team

I was in the process of updating the Danish translation of the quick reference.

The Makefile.am defines ALL_LINGUAS and QUICKREFERENCE_ALL_LINGUAS.

Neither variable is completely consistent with the set of existing
translations: Each is missing some languages, and also the variables
contain nl for which there are no translations.

By divine inspiration I assume that both variables really should
contain all the languages.  This patch will update the two variables
to include all languages for which languages exist:

Is that correct and good?

Personally I could add 'da' and commit that, but that would not fix
the other languages, and strictly I am not sure whether to add 'da' in
one or both.  So what should be done?

Best regards
Ask
