Hello, In spite of my countless e-mails to the past translators, talking to our regional offices, even blogging, the release of the CSS validator is still held hostage by the missing translations in Chinese and Polish. I think there *are* users in these languages, but obviously they're either not reading the blogs/lists :). The only way we can get a reaction, I believe, is simply to remove these localizations from the next release, and add a note explaining why, requesting help. I would like your thoughts on the following plan: * Keep the localized documentation (static) files. * comment out the removed languages in manual.html.* * ditto, remove them from the command-line doc in org/w3c/css/css/ CssValidator.java * The trickier part is org/w3c/css/util/Messages.java, because we still need to know these languages are around, even if not complete and thus not used. My suggestion here is to add a Message.languages_name_unused to the existing languages_name. That way, our system retains knowledge of these unused languages (especially for translations.html...) but they are not included in all loops on languages_name. * add a note at the bottom of the main interface, saying "where are the Chinese and Polish translations?", linking to the (to-be-updated) blog post. Thoughts? -- olivierReceived on Monday, 11 February 2008 02:20:19 GMT
