Re: Exploring the possibility of an l10n upload of writer2latex to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs
Hi,
So far I have refrained from translating the writer2latex templates to
Dutch because it is flagged as having errors.
<http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/errors-by-pkg#Pwriter2latex>:
> writer2latex 1.0.2-6 [Debian LibreOffice Maintainers]
> missing-file-in-POTFILES.in
> debian/openoffice.org-writer2latex.templates
> debian/openoffice.org-writer2xhtml.templates
Any clarification on this?
Regards,
Jeroen Schot
