GIMP entering tentative string freeze for 2.4

[Sven Neumann <sven gimp org>]

Hi,

we are getting close to a GIMP 2.4 release. There are still some bugs
and even some features missing. So we will definitely need to add some
more strings and probably also change a few. But we will try to avoid
larger string changes from now on. So it's probably a good idea to start
working on the translations in the HEAD branch. I will send another
announcement when we enter strict string freeze. But that will then be
close to the 2.4.0 release. So if you want your language to be well
supported in the early 2.4 releases, now is a good time to start the
work.

Please note that the gimp source tree has multiple message catalogs. You
will find them in the po, po-libgimp, po-plug-ins, po-python,
po-script-fu and po-tips directories.

If you find spelling or grammar errors in the english messages, please
let us know about them so that we can fix them early. We would also like
to know about problems with plural forms or if messages are lacking
context to be translated correctly.

It's a pleasure to see GIMP translated to so many languages. We will be
proud to note in the 2.4 release notes that the number of supported
languages has grown significantly since GIMP 2.2. Thanks a lot for the
work you are doing.


Sven
