After the always good Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin and having a well deserved holidays afterwards I’ve already back at home from Germany.
And since I have still some days left I started working on fixing one missing feature on Damned-Lies:
Word Counting
As of now we have already working word countings on D-L, a bug opened on 2003!! ((On the UI front we are still discussing where to show them, you are more than welcome to add your opinions to the bug created for that)).
These means that all translators will now more precisely how much effort does it take to translate a module. This is even more useful on documentation, where 1729 strings from the new Evolution documentation sure are quite a few strings, like for example Anjuta UI (which has 1985 strings), but a quick look of how much words each have reveals a huuuge gap between them: 22645 words for Evolution and 7802 words for Anjuta.
I expect that when we start showing word counts on D-L UI translators will have more data to better organize their efforts towards translating GNOME.
I’m already fixing/improving other areas and hopefully I will blog about them soon :) If you have any particular bug/feature missing on Damned-Lies please leave a comment or file a bug!
