Would you please take > a look at Rudy's translation? Rudy's has redone the translations from scratch because he was not aware they were in fact translated previously. Actually, it would have been better to just make a list of the available translations and do a msgfmt --statistics on them. Unfortunately, Rudy's translation is all but uselless to me and, after all, I'm the Last-Translator and the one that should have been contacted (not the Translation-team). Contacting the translation team in this way is a bad idea because the team (as a whole) does not necessarily now if somebody else has worked on that po file. Granted, Rudy should have checked the package source code or the translation statistics up at www.debian.orf first and he should have seen me as the previous translator. However, the way you put it in the mail looked like the translations were all obsolete when that is not the case. In any case, next time it will be best if you sent the e-mail to the Last-Translator and, if the mail bounces, then send to the translation team. :-) Oh, and by the way, you should _not_ have updated the spanish translation in CVS. The previous translation (available at http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/john/debian/po/es.po?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=pkg-john) could have been updated/improved to adapt to the new templates. That is a better path than replacing it with a translation written from scratch that has not been reviewed by the translation team. Regards Javier
