Subject: debian-i18n: Please add support for fixing typos in paragraph used in different descriptions

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:22:54 +0200

Package: debian-i18n
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-i18n@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ddtp

During the debconf9's 2nd i18n work session we mentioned that DDTP / DDTSS
should help translator fixing typos in paragraphs used in different
packages.
2 competing solutions were mentioned:
 * When a new translation is proposed and pass the review process, it
   propagates automatically into other packages' descriptions.
 * When a new translation is proposed (and pass the review process), a
   link appear in the coordinator page to mass-fix the paragraph's
   translation.

The best solution should be discussed on debian-i18n.

Best Regards,

I would prefer the second solution, as the coordinator then can "fine
tune" this paragraph if needed (not all DDTP users are aware of all
language specific style issues) and then "release" it to all packages.
This is what the current German translator effectively does, if he
notes a problem he directly edits all related packages (if possible)
IIRC. So he would then see "important" paragraphs and could act
accordingly.

Greetings

Given that I'm the only one to reply to your request / bug report, I
suggest implementing the second solution.
