I suggest this:
in select_lang.inc.php3, just before the require, add this:
require($lang_path . 'english.inc.php3');
So, if the translation is not available, english will show (hopefully the english file
should be
complete).
It would be a good hack, but that's not clean IMHO. This way, the
translators (not always technical people) would always have to compare
their file to the englich version on every check, which takes time.
It think it's much easier to add an "// last" tag at the end
of every lang file, and then with a
perl -i -p -e 's/\/\/\ last/newstringdef\n\/\/\ last/g' lang/*.php3
add the new string everywhere. That's the way I use for example
with omail-webmail.
-> consistency
-> easier for translators
-> clean :)

Olivier,
The // last tag is ok for me. BTW do we have "official" translators for every
language?
I was under the impression that the phmyadmin-translators mailing list would give
us quick answers, and each developper would himself add the translated strings
to appropriate files, but I realize that we won't have immediately translations for
all supported
language files. So a lag will develop, and it will be clean to see the new strings at the
end of
file.
