Hi all, actually the translators list in our about dialog is hardcoded in src/ui/dialog/aboutbox.cpp. It looks quite outdated and without any changes for a while, plus I think it is quite difficult to maintain it as-is and update with latest right data and copyroght at each release.
So I propose to adopt the mechanism of "translator-credits" as in use and widespread across the gnome framework, because each contributor knows all local contributors better than us. (see http://www.gnome.org/~malcolm/i18n/tips.html )
I've made a patch for it, but as I'm not a programmer I'm asking for comments/corrections. It's attached here.
Any opinions on it? May I commit it now (we aren't yet in string freeze) or should I better wait post-0.45?
Cheers, Luca
