I prefer plain text, but I don't feel that strongly about it, as such. about not introducing HTML markup in the translated text? If the "translation" you're referring to is the home-pkgblurbs.html file which the web translators work with, that is (obviously) specifically for the web site, so it doesn't make sense to not be HTML. Has anyone written to Benno et al. @ coordinator yet? Anything happening with TP requires them to agree, not to mention do any work on the TP side. On the other hand, having translations simultaneously happening in TP and www seems like a lot of headache to me. And www translators will not, in general, be technically up to using TP. That is the whole reason we are doing what we're doing. Thus, it seems to me that the path of least resistance would be to have any translators who want to work on the blurbs provide translations of the web file (they could email them to web-translators if they aren't already doing www translations). For guix/gsrc purposes, you guys can just strip out the html. It is not that hard; not like you have to actually parse all of HTML to do this job. A few trivial text substituions and we can put this to rest. k
