I like that there is one for each language. Also, I want
information on where the translation comes from, if one
translation is not good
like:
<resource package="nautilus" index="1"\>
<resource package="gnumeric" index="2"\>
<resource package="gtk" index="3"\>
...
<resource package="gnome-libs" index="8"\>
<message string="Press OK">
<translation resource="1,6,8">Tryk på OK</translation>
<translation resource="2-5,7">Tryk på ok</translation>
...
</message>
This way it will become a good resource for consistency
Then you could get gtranslator to tell you things like:
--
"Tryk på OK" is not the most used translation for
"Press OK". Maybe you should instead use "Tryk på ok"
To do so, press OK or press Cancel to skip
--
Good luck, Kenneth
