Why don't > you like it? Because we are very close to the stable release we are working towards for over a year now. I18n is its final state for months and noone complained about it recently. Every time we changed stuff with respect to i18n, it produced lots of problems and I'm very happy that it seems to be working for most people now.

I hope that a better system than gettext evolves so we can use it for the 1.3.x series. > I want GIMP _1.2_ to be correctly translated and I don't see any other > proposals besides my patch.
