I agree that it would be best, but how do we avoid duplication of work? I mean, we already have a few package translations at (representing the only package file currently in POTFILES), but obviously the translators were not aware of what was being done on the www side (and vice versa.) I’m fairly new to the translation process, and I just don’t know how we can tell the TP volunteers to synchronize with the www volunteers. What would you recommend? Thanks, Ludo’.
