Hi,
Here is an question that is triggered by a recent request in inkscape-translator@...233...
While doing refactoring in 0.47, should we probably try to split translatable messages into several ones? E.g.:
po/ po-lpe/ po-extensions/ po-tools/
?
Inkscape has grown *a lot* over the 0.46: amount of translatable messages has jumped from 2480 in 0.45.1 to 3465 in 0.46. While supporting one large already existing PO file is probably OK for translators (not quite correct for the case I started this email with), creating a whole new translation will be psychologically difficult at the same time. I've seen this with Xara Xtreme for Linux which had ~5700 messages last time I checked - and the pace of translation work into various languages was dead slow.
On the other hand, I sometimes find myself jumping between po/ru.po and po-libgimp/ru.po and suspect that this will apply to Inkscape to some extent in case we choose this path.
Anyway, what do you think?
