launchpad-translators team mailing list archive

[Christian Metscher <hakaishi@xxxxxx>]

Wow, this explains a whole lot! So this is how it is...
Thanks for your comments on that!
I think that it wouldn't harm the translators to look into the mailing 
list once in a while...
It'd be really cool, if there were a way to subscribe to the 
translations of your favorite programs and if one could be informed of 
new releases somehow... Like, if the pot file changes to get an 
automated message about it... Should be possible, or is there something 
more complicated about it?

Thanks again for writing about your experience with this mailing list!


Kind regards,
 Christian
