Snehitare,<br>Now, as we have decided to use as many instances of translations from the standards recommended, I felt that it was a pain to wade through all the suggested translations to find which was the one to be used (amidst a plethora of file names). So, I have rolled up all non-standard files I have (the files in po_files_repository, including the latest submissions of translators), in to one non_standard_compendium.po. Similarly, the 4 files on standards have been rolled into KDE_STANDARD_COMPENDIUM.po.
<br><br>Now, a translator has two choices. Either use both together in the translation database and choose only what comes from KDE_STANDARD_COMPENDIUM.po, or have separate database folders (possible to set in kbabel at least) for each of the files. We can go through two passes. One, with the standards database first, and then, for those that remain untranslated, with the non_standard databse.
<br><br>In any case, <span style="font-weight: bold;">I request everybody to delete your existing databses and load only these two files. We will lose nothing, but it will help a lot in achieving consistency.<span style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></span>I am send the files only to current translators, so that I wont be spamming others.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span><br>vandanegaLu,<br><span class="sg">umesh
