With the advent of PO files, Wine went from 12 good translations in the<br>
pre-1.4 days to 20 now. What's even more encouraging is that there are<br>
an extra 6 translations that are already half done. So can we reach 26<br>
translations in time for Wine 1.6? More?<br>
<br>
So I'm calling on all translators of good will to review, refresh,<br>
complete or even start new Wine translations. You will find instructions<br>
to get started there:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.winehq.org/Translating" target="_blank">http://wiki.winehq.org/Translating</a><br>
<br>
<br>
And just as for Wine 1.4 you can track the translations status here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://fgouget.free.fr/wine-po/" target="_blank">http://fgouget.free.fr/wine-po/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
This site also collects reports about potential translation issues:<br>
* Mismatched printf format specifiers. (Note that these can cause Wine<br>
crashes!)<br>
* Mismatched trailing ellipsis.<br>
* Other mismatched trailing punctuation like full stop, question mark,<br>
space, etc.<br>
* Mismatched line feeds, trailing or not.<br>
* Spaces followed by line feeds.<br>
* Untranslated strings.<br>
<br>
Obviously some of these result in false positives. For instance<br>
'Document' is written exactly the same in English and in French so to<br>
the script it will look like it was not translated. If you send me the<br>
corresponding error lines I'll make sure they are ignored by putting<br>
them in an 'ignore' file. This way the next translator looking things<br>
over won't have to skip over all these false positives.<br>

Theory is where you know everything but nothing works.<br>
Practice is where everything works but nobody knows why.<br>
Sometimes they go hand in hand: nothing works and nobody knows why.<br>
