Re: Packaging very large i18n material
Following on from this, what about:
KDE already groups languages (well kpersonalizer does ;)) as Eastern Europe,
Western Europe, Asia, etc... Couldn't we compromise and have language packs
similarly? ie I want Chinese, so I have to put up with koffice-i18n-asia,
french koffice-i18n-weu (western europe ;))
Not ideal, but better than having a huge i18n package containing loads of
languages I don't want...
