I'm just worried that there may be conflicts between people working with the DDTP and people translating and commiting directly to cvs. It's extra work for people to first do it via ddtp and then take the translation and commit it *too*. > > How do we make it easy for translators?

What would be best would be if, when a template or package description is changed, the maintainer could be mailed a complete .po file that could just be committed to the cvs. .po file is nice because then encoding will be right and stuff. When the package descriptions have been translated, I guess a .po file would be clumsy. Getting them as attachments, utf-8 encoded would be best. Is this doable? We'll have to teach everybody to go through the DDTP (including me :), both for templates and package descriptions. This isn't all bad, it's good to have everything collected in one place. Oh, and I really really really don't understand why the Swedish team is called 'sv_SE', it should be the language code 'sv' like all other languages! That's what the TP team (of which I'm a member) is called, too. I seem to remember talking to Stefan about this, but it doesn't seem like anything happened. /Martin
