Subject: other serious problems with non-English tutorials
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 08:38:20 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090508.083820.180096577.wl@gnu.org> (raw)
[cvs 2009-04-19]
Starting `emacs -Q' within a German locale, `C-h t' opens the tutorial
in a buffer named `TUTORIAL (German)'. This is quite unfortunate for
two reasons.
1. *All* translations have this wrong because they assume that the
name is `TUTORIAL.XX', where `XX' is a two-letter country code
(or `XX_YY' if language and country names differ).
2. A language specific tutorial is now loaded into a buffer only; it
is no longer associated with a real file. This invalidates big
parts of the translated tutorials; from a didactic point of view
it's a bad idea also IMHO.
Who is doing such careless changes without informing the translators?
Since a new Emacs release will soon appear I ask to revert it,
applying the changes afterwards, together with proper announcements!
Werner
