Hi everybody, sorry for the delayed reply. I don’t check these lists

Yes. I’m sorry. I’m a perfectionist, and directly working on things
helps me seen how the “dconf-editor product” finishes in people hands,
for improving it. In all my po files edits, I’ve spotted tenths of
typos in various languages, one bug in the generation of eight strings
(translated by translators, but not applied to the application; I’m
currently working on a fix for before the last unstable release), and
one case where I should improve code for helping i18n.

Hope that hasn’t caused too much “harm” for teams, but that has been
really helpful from a releaser/maintainer point of view. I’ve notably
realized how many strings are translated and how useful/not-so-useful
ones are mixed, and will probably ask for a split of the “demo” string
in a following cycle, so translators of small teams could concentrate
on the application general UI. And globally, I’m more aware now of
some problems of my code, and that’ll help in the future.

Well, if some translators want to improved my code in revenge, I’d
honestly thank them to do so. ^^ But I understood, that’s not
something I’ll redo, I just needed to have a view of what was
happening between code and users, and that has been enlightening. I’ve
finished, apart for the big bug I’m working on, but that’s for a
following email. ^^

Regards,
