[Phpmyadmin-devel] message freeze and versions
Hi, I believe that in the past, when a version was released, new messages were added only for the next version, so we shouldn't be adding messages for 3.4? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

I don't think there was ever strict rule for this. I think it's okay to add new messages if needed... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I'm not sure of that, because to me it (almost) means a new feature. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Well usually yes, but it should be really decided case by case. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

A new message could be considered (or is part of) a new feature, but what about typos, wrong messages or badly formulated existing messages? I'm not entirely sure, but when changing just one character in a message, is it considered a new message when regenerating the po files, or does gettext notice it's only a small change to an existing message and keep the translations of the original message attached to it? Kind regards, Dieter

I think it's considered a new message; so it depends if we think that translators will retranslate the changes in time for, say, 3.4.1. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Yes, it is considered as new message, because it is hard to automatically decide whether it is just typo or changes meaning. If you're just fixing typo, you can replace it in .po files as well to keep existing translations. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
