[Gnumed-devel] Translatable database strings from within the client

[Jim Busser]

The client offers

        GNUmed > Master data > Manage lists > String translations in the 
database > (select language, e.g. en_CA) 

which opens a dialog with window title

        Showing translatable strings for target language en_CA

and controls

Questions:

1) what function does 'New' serve if we are talking something that does not 
even yet exist in GNUmed?

2) when a praxis would make translations, are these being read / written to the 
.po file that resides in 9what is potentially) their own user directory

        [...]/client/po/

making another file that users need to ensure that they preserve across new 
client downloads?


3) when some newer version of a translation file becomes available from the 
VCS, the user will presumably need to merge the diffs and is there any 
suggested best way of doing that?


4) am I perhaps the first to test the "contribute" button?

        (in git head, it triggers an unhandled exception
                --> let me know if you need it)
