be driven for translation by some facility on launchpad with which
I'm unfamiliar. As far as I'm aware, not a single new translation
resulted from this. Several of the existing translations are
simply decaying slowly over time as the code changes; every time a
new dialog or warning or label is added that no one translates,
the translations get worse. I have no idea how to induce would-be
translators to enter and take part, even though one of Xiphos'
Help selections is an explicit invitation for such translators.</span><br></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div> sword-devel mailing list: <a href="mailto:sword-devel@crosswire.org" target="_blank">sword-devel@crosswire.org</a><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel</a><br></div><div> Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page<br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
