Paul, I did look at the cvs web frontend (darn, I should write about my searches in my questions in the first place) but did not find the po files there, only some make and spec files. Either I am missing something or I don't know what. Check it out yourself, eg. for system-config-network: * http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/system-config-network/ * http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/system-config-network/devel/

Thanks for the tip Paul. Nevertheless, this is too much work for external contributors. Usually, they just need the pot & po files of all packages for a language. Three suggestions then, in decreasing preference: 1. Allow anonymous access of the `translate` module from the CVS. 2. Include a link to the files in the i18n statistics page. 3. Produce a nightly public .tgz with the pot & po files for each language. Are these too difficult to arrange? -dim -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
