Possible re-design for the cause of internationalization
by Tomas Fasth 04 Sep '98

04 Sep '98

Hi, I'm the guy trying to translate Mailman to Swedish. Currently the task of doing a translation is managable but very time consuming. Further, since it involves editing code files it sure makes you feel insecure about it. It also complicates the task of having the code up to date with the main (american english) trunk although CVS can do a good job to make that task less painful. Anyway, in order to avoid chaos in localized installations, there seem to be a need to change the scheme of how to incorporate language specific text in user presentations. There has already been some postings about that. Unfortunately, using the "patch" approach will probably make the code look "messy" and less readable. Therefore it might be a good idea to do a re-design of the current text generation part of the code in Mailman. The question is, what is the proper procedure to achieve this? Is there currently an "architect" for Mailman? Is that person willing to coordinate such an efford? If a CVS branch is created for this purpose, how do you earn check-in permission for that branch? Is there anybody out there who cares about this matter part from me (if not, why bother)? Tomas
