Hi, I've sent this to gnome-i18n@xxxxxxxxx today and forgot to forward it here. BTW. I don't intend to do the german translation for The GIMP 1.4 so if some german speakers want to contribute, this is a good chance to do so. Please contact me. I've finally landed the new XML-based tips infrastructure and I think its time to stop discouraging you from translating the HEAD branch of The GIMP. We will certainly continue changing messages but I don't expect that to be too many. So it might make sense to start translating now. As you all know, GIMP is special and I'd like to take advantage of the situation and use this mail to sum up the special parts again. A few things also have changed with respect to GIMP-1.2... There are multiple po directories. In particular we have: po - the main gimp application text domain po-libgimp - the libgimp text domain po-plug-ins - the standard plug-ins text domain po-script-fu - the Script-Fu text domain GIMP uses intltool now, so you can use intltool-update in the po directory. Unfortunately intltool-update refuses to work outsidethe po directory, so you need to deal with the old-fashioned update.sh scripts that are still there for that reason. The tips directory contains more things to translate. The new tips file is gimp-tips.xml which is created from gimp-tips.xml.in and the po files found in the tips directory. You'll find an update.sh script there and a dedicated ChangeLog, so the tips directory actually behaves like a po directory for you. All the old translated gimp_tips.txt files are still in CVS. Please remove them as soon as all translation for your language are merged into the respective po file. More tips for translators are found in the file README.i18n in the toplevel directory of the GIMP source tree. Please read it! I encourage you to use UTF-8 encoding for the po files. At the moment this is isn't mandatory but we might choose to make it mandatory at some point.
