It is and there a quite a couple of reasons why: - Extracting messages from files distributed over a lot of directories is just broken... - Plug-ins are usaing the localising features themselves very badly -> broken - Different plug-ins may want to different different translations for the same message, impossible now -> broken - External plug-ins can't get a translation very easily -> broken I could continue this list... In this sector a lot work has to be done... any volunteers? Otherwise the only right way for Gimp 1.2 would be to ship it wihtout localisation support for plug-ins.... And please don't think that I will do this work, although I'm very active in this area... creating some hundred patches isn't something I like to do in my spare time... -- Servus, Daniel
