The lure of i18n'ing this file just like all others is very strong, but there are some significant problems it creates which weren't apparent to me at first blush. For example, RPM changelogs also come out of this file for our packaging process. Those are normally not translated. This would mean the confusion created by requiring translators *not* to translate certain parts of the new rpm-info-*.xml files would be roughly equal to the situation we had before. Worse, though, it represents a possibility of mismatch in the RPMs, or at least the appearance of mismatch when translations are out of sync with the English versions at packaging time. More discussion is welcome, with an eye toward rolling some docs out the door into Fedora Extras at or near FC5t3 release. Tommy normally catches me when I think up Bad Ideas, so I could be wrong in thinking we need to change course. -- Paul W.
