Thanks, but ... when I look at all the modifications that have been made
for the last relnotes issue, I really feel disappointed. I thought that
keeping complete and up to date translations of all the relnotes issues
during summer would avoid having so much strings to translate for the
latest issue. I was wrong.
It seems that beat writers were not keen on writing before fc6 final
release, then I should suggest that translators may need much more of a
week to translate the final relnotes issue. Moreover, more time could
avoid the panic/confusion that we saw this week.
I couldn't check my mail as much as I usually do this week. I got an
internet connection on Monday, but did not took the POT file as it was
not really up to date as it should. Now that I can, I am before a
393-strings-that-need-overreading document. I am VERY sad to tell that I
won't be able to translate that much of strings in so a little time :'(
French relnotes won't be on the DVD, oh sh*t :(
Cheers
