| [wtp-dev] Re: [babel-dev] Identifying (and externalising) untranslated strings |
Well, no, I haven't. I was just trying to ask a general development question, and Antoine turned it into a cross-project bug report snowball! ;-) My followups to wtp-dev and birt-dev were really for the sake of completeness. (I was going to follow up to cross-project, reluctantly, but fortunately I was able to identify the offending projects in this particular case.) Without some sort of hypothetical tool to tell me which plugin created a GUI control, I really wouldn't know where to report some of the NL issues mentioned below. I can identify at least six different projects behind these unexternalised strings, but it could be up to eleven, for all I know. Well, I'll make it eleven to be sure (unless I identify more of the projects along the way). At least that way the bug titles should be descriptive/specific, and they shouldn't need to be subdivided. I shall reply to this thread (in babel-dev only) with the bug numbers. Regards Sean.
