Join GDP Finnish translation team! We're still short one followup

translator and pile of alt-arch stuff at least before getting official

status and linkage. ;-)

Hmm, can I suggest some QA or similar stuff for these before
|
| 13 |
committing? I don't fully know what's the visibility of this stuff
|
| 14 |
though, but I'd feel much nicer if they were at least proofread or peer
|
| 15 |
evaluated once before providing them to public. I don't mean to
|
| 16 |
question your Finnish capabilities of course, I've just participated in
|
| 17 |
Finnish localisations of Open Source things long enough to know how bad
|
| 18 |
Finnish some people can produce.

Well, I'm no expert on Portage tree stuff of course, but isn't that a
|
| 27 |
bit too complex for the problem. I mean, if some description gets
|
| 28 |
changed so crucially that translations need to be updated -- which as
|
| 29 |
far as I understand shouldn't be too often -- wouldn't it be enough to
|
| 30 |
just drop the old translations? If you really need automatic
|
| 31 |
notification on changes in these things, cvs mailing list or CIA bot is
|
| 32 |
easy way to see them.
