[GCompris-devel] GCompris call for translation

[JAZEIX Johnny]

Hi,

we saw a string that can be misunderstood: "non-free" in "Show non-free 
activities" which means in our case "paying activities" and not as in 
freedom of free software.

As it is translated in the second option in at least French and Swedish, 
we prefer to break the string freeze to update it with "Show locked 
activities" instead. I just pushed the patch in git so it should be soon 
available for translations.

It also shifts the maintenance release (planned for yesterday). We plan 
to do the release this week-end so it would be great if the translations 
were up-to-date friday if it's enough time for you to make this change.

Sorry about the extra work but as it could be communicated as "GCompris 
is not 100% free software" we prefered to remove the potential 
misleading before causing a potential mess.

Johnny
