(Sorry for not replying "for real" but I only just joined the list..)

I would like to ask the author (Johan Forsberg) of the about.svg displayed

when choosing Help ->

About -> Splash to provide some translated versions of the graphic.

The xx.po-files allow for a translation of the part "Draw Freely" written

beneath the version number

in the way that one can enter a string pointing to an altered splash-screen

sitting in

/share/inkscape/screens in the inkscape installation directory. For German it would be "about.de.svg" and "Frei Zeichnen" instead of "Draw

Freely". Maybe other

translators would like to join in for their languages?

That would be great, although I guess "draw freely" is sort of a play on words in english that may not translate too well to other languages..?

BTW, I was thinking of using the usual "draw freely" style (e.g. as seen in the 0.46 about splash) but I didn't do it because I wasn't sure where it came from. Apparently it would be OK to use it, but how to translate it? I don't have the font...
