[gaim-migrate @ 9983] " This patch adds "Show Timestamps" to the Options menu in the conversation window, and makes both the menu option and the F2 shortcut per-conversation in-line with the other options in the Options menu. This adds translateable strings so should not be applied during string freeze :)" --Stu Tomlinson for the record, Mark objects to this: "For the record, I don't think this pref should be per-conversation. But I also don't think Enable Logging, Enable Sounds and the toolbar thing should be per-conversation, either." --Mark Doliner I however think that while his arguement may have merit, rfe 967008 lends credence to it, that the 4 options should be handled consistently, ie either all should have both a global and a per-conversation or none of them should. This makes thinks consistent, and so i think it should go in while Mark's point should get further discussion. 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
# Copyright (C) 2002, Another Name <[e-mail]>
# Copyright (C) 2003, Your Name <[e-mail]>
#
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Gaim package.
