[gaim-migrate @ 14925] I've been meaning to spend the time to commit these changes separately, but it's been a couple days without me finding the time... 1. Allow the creation of GaimStatusTypes by passing NULL for the name and/or id. The core uses the default name and/or id. This eliminates quite a bit of duplication in the prpls. 2. Make statuses more consistent. For example, in some prpls, "Busy" was descended from the UNAVAILABLE primitive and on others it was a case of AWAY. Another example... "On Vacation" is definitely an EXTENDED_AWAY not an AWAY. 3. Rename some pixmaps to elminate some special cases. The names of the pixmaps should now match the primitive default IDs. 4. Rename the HIDDEN primitive to INVISIBLE, since we seem to be using that term everywhere. In conjunction with #1, more duplication was eliminated. 5. Add a MOBILE status primitive. It's not used now. It'll be needed in the (hopefully not-too-distant) future, so I'm planning ahead. 6. Shrink the status select for small blist folks. Now if someone can get rid of that stupid extra padding, we'll be set (well, after we deal with imhtml space issues). I've fought with this for many many hours over several days and I can't get it. It's clear that the combo box is requesting more space than is really necessary, but I don't know why. This is really my first go at anything significant status-related. Everyone should check their favorite prpls carefully to make sure I didn't break anything. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Translation README

Updated: 04-October-2003
------------------

Translated .po files may be submitted in whatever native encoding is
most convenient (and hopefully canonical).  Please ensure that the
Content-type: line reflects the proper character set.



Updated: 19-April-2003
------------------

To supply a new translation, you first need a copy of gaim.pot.
This can be built by typing:

./update.pl --pot

from the gaim/po/ directory.

To update an exsting translation, type:

./update.pl LANG

where LANG is the language code to update, such as fr or ja. This will build
a new gaim.pot and update the translation with the changes. You may then
begin editing the updated file.

New or updated translations should be sent to the gaim-devel listserv
(see http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-devel)

Please check your translations carefully. Make sure you have the same
number of newlines and %s or other formatting codes in the translation as
you have in the original.



Updated: 05-August-2003
------------------

Before submitting updated or new translations, please run the following 
command to ensure the file does not contain errors:
> msgfmt -c --statistics xx.po

The comments at the top of each .po file should appear as follows:
# Gaim Xxxxx translation
