Thanks again for explaining, Jens. :) On 06/02/2009, at 1:01 AM, Jens Seidel wrote:

But as it has to happen manually now it is save to enable the --previous option. Every user of the Makefile in an Etch system should just locally remove it again but I assume most active contributors use alreadyLenny. I committed the option change in r6219. No need for further action from your side. Your code is currently btw up-to-date.
Thanks for doing that. I just finished translating the current Release- Notes, and committed my changes. So, when the original strings are changed again (e.g. taking care of some of the remaining TODO's), my files will use msgid-previous?
Where should I look to keep track of changes to the original strings? I don't want to miss updating them, especially now I have a complete translation (I like being at 100% :D ). And do we have a status webpage for the Release Notes, like we do for the Installation Guide?
I can run very basic svn commands now, so with a bit of luck, I'll recoverenough concentration to do a little more on the command-line.You have to learn, learn, learn ... :-)
Unfortunately, my problems are due to illness [1], and have affected my memory and concentration. So I can't access most of the things I used to know (pre-disease, I lectured in computing, mathematics and English), including all my machine languages and most of my human languages. (Luckily, the English-Vietnamese switch still works in my head, probably because of its strong emotional links.) For the past few months, I haven't been able to read or write at all: that's why I haven't been able to participate here. Luckily, I have finally recovered a little capacity, so I've started updating translations again. I'll be delighted if I recover enough concentration to use the command-line more: every little bit of extra capacity means a lot in my situation.
Mechanically, learning isn't just about understanding something, it's also about being able to retain and access that knowledge. My brain has file-addressing issues. ;)
(The most embarrassing moments are when I can't remember the names of my own children! I know their faces, but not their names.)
from Clytie Vietnamese Free Software Translation Team http://vnoss.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:l10n[1] I've been severely disabled by this disease for 15 years, but one of the things I love about the Net is that until recently, having access to a laptop and Net connection meant I could be just like everyone else here. I could participate, too, and not have to explain about the disease. I would have a few days or a week or two out of action every now and then, but I could catch up without it really being noticeable. However, in the last couple of years, the disease has started taking me completely out of action for several months at a time, and will eventually do so permanently, so I've had to explain why. Not my favourite topic. :S
