Description Pablo Lezaeta 2016-11-04 14:46:58 CET
The resent xfce4-terminal 0.8.0 onward is shipping manpages with translations, the issue is that these translation are using the old 0.4.0 manpages AND the new strings in the 0.8.0 are not available int transifex to be translated.

this lead in a scenario that manpages in (example) spanish are using the old 0.4.0 pages but no new (or old) string is available on transifex to fix that

a solution can be:

A) Remove all translation for the manpages and sip them only in english
B) Properly add the strings to be translated and inform in the mailist about that
C) Remove manpage entirely

I preffer B but A and C are the easier.

True, the doc/po subfolder is not synced in transifex so it can't be translated easily. I can't see how to fix it with our current transifex setup.

So I propose the solution A) for now, like Thunar for example, which only provides English manpages.

Skunnyk, thanks for your input!

I've removed the translation files for now. Should we have a solution how to handle them, they can be easily restored from git.
