While it is handy to have them, they are (as people keep noting) not very useful for translations and sometime not even for getting a general idea. The base definitions are much more important, and the comments as well. But the comments need to be reworked, not merely translated, for each new language, since the pitfalls will be different in each. --part1_19c.684d211.2a81afac_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 8/6/2002 2:28:31 PM Central Daylight Time, araizen@newmail.net writes:

In the long run, the keywords are the LEAST important things to translate, since they are important ONLY for Logflash (and other such programs).  While it is handy to have them, they are (as people keep noting) not very useful for translations and sometime not even for getting a general idea.  The base definitions are much more important, and the comments as well.  But the comments need to be reworked, not merely translated, for each new language, since the pitfalls will be different in each. --part1_19c.684d211.2a81afac_boundary--
