A reminder that August 28th is also the *string freeze* for Fedora 8. After this date, no new strings can be added or existing ones be modified in packages that are translated by the Fedora Localization Project (eg stuff that Fedora is upstream). For more information on string freezes, please refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Freezes#string In short: * Please add/modify any translatable strings in your apps until then. * Make sure everything that should be translated is marked so (eg. gettext'ed). Finally, a big "Thanks!" to all developers and maintainers who have been patiently announcing their string changes in the past, thus helping us having high quality translations in each Fedora release.
