Re: GNU gettext for hildon?

[Kyle Nitzsche <kyle nitzsche canonical com>]

Appreciate the pointers here. I do now understand how domains are set  
generally in code and for specific gettext calls.

I still have a general question for Hildon folks:

The suggestion was made in a different thread that we use the provided  
English translations as a basis for further translation into different  
languages to overcome the issue of non-English strings in code. But, I  
am having trouble finding the complete set of English translations.  
Can someone on the Hildon list help me find them? (in whatever form  
they take, be it one or more template files, or one or more po files,  
or even, as a last resort, the referred to UI spec that, I gather,  
maps the code strings to meaningful descriptions.)

Or, put more generally, can the Hildon list folks provide specific  
suggestions for accomplishing translation of Hildon in the near term?

Cheers,
Kyle
