I have no link by hand, but the gnome-i18n@ archives on mail.gnome.org should be helpful, plus all the data (counts of strings for normal and reduced sets) is available on l10n.gnome.org so it shouldn’t be too hard to find out if you want.

Andre, thanks for taking the time to read and respond. When you mention the work being done by Friedel and Claude, do you have a set of data points about how much their proposal of reduced translation files actually reduces the number by ? I recall reading a post from Friedel talking about how to redefine and arrive at essentials (I think it was off p.g.o) but I don’t follow the gnome-i18n mailing list closely enough to track where the proposal exactly is.

I’ll see what can be done to read up on the existing set of proposals.

And again, you’d notice that the thrust of the post is my impression of where Brian seems to have missed the point. I am yet to touch the i18n/l10n aspect. That is another post for another day.

The suggestions you have about l10n towards the release-team. You can either discuss on gnome-i18n and then forward the suggestions to the release-team, or discuss directly with us. Not everything is practically possible of course. Only 6 months and perfection is a goal, but we have to take into account to what’s possible in practice.

I don’t know what suggestions you have, so I don’t get why you wish to suggest that to the board. Seems more like gnome-i18n material and then release-team to make the final decision (we coordinate releases; suggestion seems to be about i18n and release process).

Now is a good time, hence feel more than encouraged to start the debate. 🙂
On a side-note, the “ever-growing” number of strings to translated is totally dependant on definitions, as by the redefinition of modulesets the number of strings to translate for “core” GNOME 3.0 is lower than for GNOME 2.32, plus to mention first attempts by Friedel and Claude to help with priorisation (“reduced translation files” on l10n.gnome.org that exclude the schema strings).

Thanks for dropping by Olav. So which list should get the suggestion ? The lists you mention are have a bit of orthogonal objectives.

And, if you notice, the greater part of the blog was about my impression of why Brian’s comment is ill-formed and why I think he arrives at a somewhat mistaken conclusion.

So, do you want me to suggest what Brian should be speaking or, do you want me to suggest on what the GNOME Board should be doing about L10n ?
