RE: [PEAR-DEV] Translations: I can hear the complaints already

Ok, you are right. So a question I'd have is as far as I can tell the only noticeable difference between what they have and what I want is there is no mechanism for simple incremental updates. How do translators merge new translation file with old transations? I noticed the I18N package a while back some I'm a bit embarassed I didn't see it did basically what I have. Also, i'm sure it's been said but It'd be sure nice to see the translation packages together in one category. --Tony On Tue, 15 Apr 2003, Lukas Smith wrote: > > From: Tony Bibbs [mailto:tony@tonybibbs.com] > > Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 11:14 PM > > > > I'll preface this with two items: > > 1) I know Wojciech's Translation package exists.
